The result of the debate was delete

Never proposed, cryptically named, no category. This is actually for Cape Cod Transit - and has precisely three articles. The chance of sixty of those three being stubs is not high. Utterly useless. Delete. Grutness...wha?  07:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. This fish is too small. Valentinian T / C 18:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete well put Valentinian.


 * Delete per above. It's used on two articles which are already categorized, and which can be recast into more general stub listings. Yechiel Man  06:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep and clean up

Never proposed, misleadingly named, no category, non-standard name. This is actually for stubs relating to the Salem witch trials, not for Salem itself. has 40 articles (don't be misled by the subcategory - many of the articles are in both it and the main cat). Wikiproject? Yes and no - there is a "working party", part of a larger Wikiproject which already has a main dedicated stub template. Even if there had been a fully-=fledged SWT WikiProject, this would require considerable re-working and would need 75% of the articles to be stubs for it to be worthwhile. I can't see much future for this one. Grutness...wha?  07:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It seems to be used on over 30 of those articles at present, so weak keep, provided it's cleaned up (i.e. renamed to comply with NGs, given a category, and de-"task force"-spammed). Alai 13:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * So in short, we need a new name, possibly a category, a new non-fair use image and we need to remove the advertisement for the task force. It would be somewhat easier if people just used WP:WSS/P. Has anybody done a proper count of this material? Valentinian T / C 18:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * That's just not "bold" enough for some people, though. As I say, there's 30-something articles that transclude it at present, which I think is enough unless we quibble about the difference between a "task force" and a first-order WPJ.  Alai 20:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Keep As the creator of the stub type of course i will say keep.-- (Cocoaguy ここがいい contribstalk) 22:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Keep As the one of the creaters of the The Salem Witch Trials Task Force, I of course say "Keep". Psdubow 22:56, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm an uninvolved party, but I think that if the Salem Witch Trials find it useful to slap stub tags on their articles, the encyclopedia comes out ahead. Yechiel Man 06:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Their articles? Alai 23:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
