 * Delete I created this in error quite some time ago, and thought it had been deleted already. Since MLB didn't start until the 1870s, this is highly unlikely to ever got populated. Needs to be ejected from the game. :) --Fabrictramp (talk) 13:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename China-X to PRChina-X, upmerge the templates

I just finished sorting the somewhat large and in the process created  which has enough stubs to justify a category. is significantly undersized and Taiwan-radio-station-stub is too small to justify keeping it as an upmerged template feeding into, so delete both of those. China-radio-station-stub is borderline in size, so I could live with either deleting or keeping it as an upmerged template.
 * Delete Taiwan-radio-station-stub and
 * Delete or upmerge China-radio-station-stub

I summarized my views above for easy reference. Caerwine Caer’s whines 02:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong no such thing as too small for an upmerged template; keep both as such.  Delete undersized category.  Alai (talk) 14:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete the china one - we use Taiwan- and ChinaPR- for stub template names, not China-. Keep the Taiwan one but upmernge it. Grutness...wha?  00:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a fair point, though IIRC it's PRC- and/or PRChina-; and that would argue for a rename, rescope and upmerge, strictly speaking.  (Takes less work to do that to type it, almost...)  Alai (talk) 16:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You, you're right, it's PRChina (usually with a redirect at PRC), though I'd argue (though it's steering towards abstruse stub philosophy) that it's more a case of "delete China-x-stub and create PRChina-x-stub" than "rename China-x-stub", since there is at least one China-x-stub which was at one time used for both China and Taiwan (China-geo-stub - which is why it now has a note on it saying "please don't use this any more") - which is clearly not the intended use for this one. The general effect is the same, though, so we'll split the diff and I'll say rename it. Especially since I've just coined the word "upmernge" :) Grutness...wha?  21:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree it's also (arguably) a change in scope, but I did allude to that aspect too... I don't have any strong feelings about moving, vs. deletion and recreation under the new name -- though I think we did keep China- redirects in various other cases.  Alai (talk) 02:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
