 * Delete. All stubs need attention, and the purpose as explained on this template is identical in purpose to stub. Grutness...wha?  00:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename

From WP:WSS/D. The scope is clear on this one, and we have almost 100 articles. However, the name should have been RioGrandedoSul-geo-stub (with a lowercase "D") to conform with the similar templates. Rename. Valentinian T / C 10:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Tempting as it is to use CamelCase for clarity in such cases, it's not what precedent suggests. Rename.  Alai 14:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Unused, and non-standard name. I've no objection to keeping Movie-stub, but don't see much point in keeping this one around. Grutness...wha?  01:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I created it as a redirect when I found that Movie stub came up red. I don't see the harm.  This isn't a separate stub type.  Mango juice talk 02:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Actually it is used quite often, albeit incorrectly according to naming conventions, by those unfamiliar with those conventions. It has an added benefit, as when it pops up in the Category:Film stubs, its a clue to the members there that it probably needs other work as well.  No harm in keeping it as is - rather this than back to a null link.  SkierRMH 07:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete My bad - this is not the one I was thinking of - this one isn't used (it's the hyphenated one) and needs to go. SkierRMH 06:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It never pops up in that category - the actual template to which this is a redirect (film-stub) does. The reason for proposing deletion of this redirect is that for ease of maintenance it is important to ensure that all stub templates and redirects have easily guessable forms to stub sorters, and to do that the easiest way is to keep their names uniform, as explained at WP:WSS/NG. This includes having the major components of the stub name separated by hyphens, with no spaces. Grutness...wha?  00:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. All other stub templates use the hyphen, so keeping a few random redirects that are differently named will only be confusing. Valentinian T / C 10:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Unproposed, astoundingly named, and currently used for bio-stubs about players for one club, which is a long-established outright no-no. Certainly unlikely ever to get to 60 stubs about a particular club (players not included), even if this were nicely named. Strong delete. Grutness...wha?  02:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC) Dynamo had however many successful people and associations and therefore I imagined that I could manufacture an extra stub.--Kay Körner 18:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sportspeople are never stubbed according to clubs they have played for - they are sorted according to their nationality, role in the sport or (very occasionaly) era in which they played. If clubs each had their own stub then it would be p[ossiblke for one player to easily end up with a dozen stub templates, since players tend to be transferred between clubs. This would create very messy articles and quite a bit of difficulty for stub-sorters. And if you exclude the players for that reason it is extremely unlikely you would get to the threshold of 60 existing stub articles which could use the template. Both template and category are also very badly named (see WP:WSS/NG). There is also no permanent parent category, usually a prerequisite for a stub category - since if a category for articles on a subject overall isn't though to be useful, thn sorting out the stubs for it is usually even less useful.
