Seriously undersized, and cross-cat to boot, overlapping as it does Quebec and Ontario. Alai 18:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * There was a discussion on this point at Canadian wikipedians' notice board/discussion. A consensus did seem to develop to restub the articles in Ottawa-area-stub with Ottawa-stub, but then to reword Ottawa-stub with the Ottawa-area-stub wording.  That way the stub would work well for all National Capital Region articles, even those pertaining to subjects located outside the Ottawa city boundaries.  Skeezix1000 18:44, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Works for me. Alai 19:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Works for me but with added comments:
 * There was never any proposal at WP:WSS of an Ottawa area stub or a National capital region stub category, so why they exist is a bit of a mystery to start with.
 * Since there is no parent, and that name is very ambiguous, this should be deleted.
 * Ottawa-area-stub seems to be a geo-stub and there could well be a case for the creation of an Ottawa-geo-stub, leading into a category, as a subcategory of.
 * Therefore I suggest splitting Ottawa stubs into Ottawa-stub/cat:Ottawa stubs and Ottawa-geo-stub/cat:Greater Ottawa geography stubs, the latter to be a subcategory of the former, and getting rid of the badly named "area" stub and its associated category. This would split the current Ottawa stubs almost exactly into two equally sized groups and - more importantly - would parallel the system used for other cities which have their own stub types (London, Sydney, Washington DC, etc). Grutness...wha?  23:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. That would be consistent with Toronto, the only other Canadian example, which has both a stub and a geo-stub.  Alai and I have reworded Ottawa-stub, as discussed above.  As for the geo stub cat, I would avoid calling it "Greater Ottawa" -- for whatever reason, no one uses that term (perhaps because it was attached to some failed municipal reorganization proposals in the 1980s and 1990s).  I think Ottawa geography stubs or Ottawa area georgraphy stubs would be fine.  The wording of the template can mirror Ottawa-stub. Skeezix1000 11:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
