 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was speedy delete as empty and redundant

This was initially made when there were insufficient stubs for the two English counties with Sussex in their names to have separate categories. Note that Sussex as an individual county no longer exists and hasn't done for some time - this stub type was created for stub-sorting convenience only.

Now East Sussex has its own geo-stub category and template, and West Sussex's one was proposed and agreed to at WP:WSS a while back. As such, I propose deleting this category and template and creating the new WestSussex-geo-stub and, and sorting everything in the current stub cat into the East and West stub types - in exactly the same way as happened with the long-departed Yorkshire-geo-stub.

 * Support... provided this isn't a sneaky way to get the SFD-closers to do the donkey work!  Alai 04:15, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Damn - rumbled! :) It needs doing, basically. Makes no sense having categories for Sussex and East Sussex. Grutness...wha?  00:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Fortunately they were well-catted enough that ~250 of them were readily bottable. Think you can manage the <30 remainder? :)  Alai 04:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Yeah - I'll see what I can do about the others. The three with "East Sussex" or "West Sussex" in the title should be particularly easy to work out ;) Grutness...wha?  07:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. That last batch had 12 East Sussex, 10 West Sussex, three that were both, two that were not geo-stubs and (I kid you not) one vandalised article about a variety of lettuce! The category's empty now. Grutness...wha?  11:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * With only three dual Sussexes, I think we lack reason to keep Sussex-geo-stub around as a stub template with dual stub categories. (If we had more, I could see keeping it to reduce the number of applied stub templates on such articles, but three is too few.) Delete both template and category.
