The result of the debate was keep

There is a lot of confusion about the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web (roughly, WWW is stuff with http:// or https:// while Internet is everything on-line). As a result, Category:World Wide Web stubs has a lot of articles that should be in Category:Internet stubs, and a few vice versa. They have a total of about 800 stubs between them, many of which belong in subcategories. Web-stub is the narrower, and more confusing, stub type, so I feel it would be best Merged into Internet-stub.&#32;-- kenb215 talk 00:28, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't follow the logic of this at all. They're not the same thing, and if any are mis-sorted, they should be re-tagged, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.  (With a more specific tag would be better still.)  Instantly creating an oversized stub type, especially in the massively undersorted in general computing/ICT/etc domain out of two of manageable size is to basically defeat the purpose of stub-sorting.  Oppose; keep, re-sort, and create additional subcats as needed.  Alai 05:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - the Internet isn't the same as the WWW, and the fact that some (many?) people don't know the difference doesn't mean we should dumb down our stub types. :) -- Schneelocke 12:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but modify - it would be potentially less confusing/ambiguous if it said "This Web page article", for instance Xmoogle 15:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
