Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion/Log/2007/March/19

Visual novel-stub /

 * 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 upmerge to anime game stubs (also rename template to conform to NG)

Never proposed, and incorrectly named. At the very least the template should either be at Visualnovel-stub or visual-novel-stub, or at some other name reflecting the stub's place in the hierarchy (visualnovel-videogame-stub?), so even if kept it needs a rename. As to whether it should be kept, currently it only has two stubs, but there are quite a few visual novel articles - though it's unclear just how many of them are stubs, and there does seem to be a WikiProject dedicated to visual novels. Their exact place on the category tree needs ascertaining (which will prpbably also determine the proper name of the stub) - do they count primarily as anime or video games? Grutness...wha?  01:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * At best an upmerged template to on the basis of the current placement of  in the permcat hierarchy.  I've altered the parentage of the stub category accordingly.  However, that category itself is slightly undersized, so I'm dubious about this one unless there are many unmarked or undermarked stubs.  Caerwine Caer’s whines  02:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * When I made the template, I did not know about this process and did not think this would come up. I'll first say that I'm sorry for not knowing and I'll be more careful next time. But for as to keep the template, I believe it's needed since visual novels are not quite anime related (some visual novels have never been made into anime/manga) and it's not quite video game related as visual novels aren't really "played" as much as other video games, thus this was the main reason why WikiProject Visual novels was created. At the moment, yes, only two articles have the template, but this was because I, at the time, did not have the chance to go through the other visual novel stubs to employ the template, but I guess I'll do that now just to show you that it's more needed than it appears at the moment.-- 十  八  03:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
