Propose to restub them with the new civil-engineering-stub as discussed in "proposals" as an idea. I was the original proposer, no more than 10 despite a good faith effort on my part to find some. Goldenrowley 00:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * As this is upmerged, if the only issue is size, is it really necessary to delete this, though? Alai 00:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, someone redirected it to the generic "engineering stubs" today, commenting they are not all civil-e's. I think it just caused duplicate. I think they can be remapped amongst the engineering categories.Goldenrowley 01:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, if it's getting into cross-catting territory, maybe we're better rid of it. Alai 03:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * After having gone through the items tagged with this, I noticed that most are either not civil engineering related at all, or are cross-disciplinary enough that marking them as civil engineering stubs would be incorrect. Since there are only 10, I'd say upmerge to engineering-stub (I've already edited it so that the category went there) and delete the industrial design stub template and category.

 * I can agree to delete it and replace it with "engineering stub" instead for that reason. Thanks Argyriou. Goldenrowley 15:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Someone apparently not knowing the procedure created this week, even though we were proposing to merge these to. No more than 10. Propose to (speedy?) delete category. Goldenrowley 04:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC) p.s. I emptied it already. Goldenrowley 04:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Just a comment we changed gears we now propose to rename the 10 as engineering-stubs, still, we should delete this empty category. Goldenrowley 19:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate (not a redirect) of Church-stub. Entirely unnecessary. Delete. Grutness...wha?  06:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree delete. I suspect it was trying to say something like a non-demoninational church. Although I won't try to guess the real reason it can be mistaken as such. Goldenrowley 01:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redundant. Delete. Valentinian T / C 19:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Unproposed, uncategorised stub type for a small-to-medium sized city in Pennsylvania. Will there be enough stubs for this template? Hardly likely - the equivalent permcat has only 41 non bio articles. Is it useful to have stub types for cities this size? No - especially since far larger or more notable cities (e.g., Los Angeles, Boston, Miami) don't have them. Is in need of splitting? No - it currently has only some unsubcategorised 190 stubs. Delete. Grutness...wha?  06:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delte - naming is unclear. There is an Erie canal in another state. Goldenrowley 21:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * comment300,000 people in the metro is small sized city?Ttttrrrreeeeyyyyyy
 * In comparison to the cities with stub types, yes. Very few cities have their own stub types, and only then when the number of stubs warrants a separate type. here are cities with tens of millions of people without separate stub types. Grutness...wha?  01:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Strong delete. Yet another unproposed attempt to split by a non-sovereign nation type. There is no Kurdistan-stub, and no permcat, for the simple reason that we split by recognised sovereign nations and/or their official subregions - not unrecognised "nations" which cross internationally accepted national boundaries. Grutness...wha?  06:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Valentinian T / C 07:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per above.. Just as is the case for TRNC stub et al, we cannot be burdened by the ramifications of complex unresolved political issues in real life if we want to have an efficient encyclopedia. The day there is an official country, I will be the first to create it.. Unless the God will descend from the heavens and decide for us, the UN borders are the best thing that we have got... :) Baristarim 09:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If God exists, I hope he uses his time on something more important than deciding details on Wikipedia :) Valentinian T / C 20:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * But wiki is life isnt it? -- Cat chi? 20:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I'd prefer if God fixed Darfur rather than Wikipedia. :) Valentinian T / C 23:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Recognition by sovereign nations aside - stub type is underpopulated (empty). We group multiple sovereign countries in Africa for being underpopulated. -- Cat chi? 10:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's unpopulated because I caught it only hours after it was created (I check "Newpages:Templates" regularly, hence the reason my name is here and WP:WSS/D so often). And "Amen!" to Valentinian's Darfur comment! Grutness...wha?  00:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
