The result of the debate was delete

Found this while closing the related template discussion. Badly named and we don't need it since the template is upmerged. That's right, articles are placed into this cat manually. ~ Amalas rawr  =^_^=  15:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename to UK-navy-stub and Cat:United Kingdom navy stubs

New, unproposed, but potentially vey useful stub type for articles relating to the Royal Navy. And, indeed, the Royal Navy is known as the RN, but so are a large number of other things. As such, like USN-stub before it, this one needs its name changed, either to RoyalNavy-stub or - in keeping with the other one named, to UK-navy-stub (which would also allow for its potential use on a very very slightly wider group of stubs). The related category, BTW, needs clean-up, as it has no parents, no children, and virtually no stubs (these should all be remediable). Grutness...wha?  01:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There's only a distinction in scope if one insists that the reserve and auxiliary fleets and services aren't part of the RN (AKA "the proper navy", as one reservist once put it to me). Technically that's correct, and it'd be quite a large difference in scope (there's a largeish cat of UK-aux-navy-ship-stubs), but it's a bit of an inobvious one.  It'd also suggest renaming the cat to, , or something to that effect.  Rename one way or the other, with the other as either a redirect or separate template.  Alai 11:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
