Clearing up the cricket stubs

 * 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 all; rename history, comps, terms; delete redirects except for history

The general impression I got from the discussion at Discoveries was that (a) stub guidelines suggest these should all be upmerged to (and cricket-comps-stub should be renamed), or (b) WSS should just keep their mitts off and let the cricket WP people have them. Any thoughts? Her Pegship  (tis herself) 22:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Cricket-history-stub - (19 stubs)
 * Cricket-admin-stub - (29 stubs)
 * Cricket-comps-stub - (33 stubs) - upmerged to
 * Cricket-media-stub - (12 stubs)
 * Cricket-terms-stub - (22 stubs)
 * I'd favour the upmerge. WP Cricket is surely big enough to be predominantly using talk-page banners for sorting its articles anyway - that's what banner templates are for. As far as the rename, not only should -comps- be changed to -competition-, but we generally use -term- for terminology, and avoid all plurals in stub template names, so that one needs changing too. Grutness...wha?  23:07, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename templates per said patterns and precedents, and upmerge cats on the 'size' clause of the guideline (that's WP:stub, for the convenience of anyone about to ask). Don't keep redirects, with the exception of "-history-", if it's moved to -hist- (which I don't necessarily recommend.)  I'll say as little as I can manage on (b) -- which may still be quite a bit, if that portion of the /D discussion ends up being reiterated in similar terms and tone here.

 * I think WP:CRICKET editors should obey the "usual rules", hence upmerge small ones according to the usual thresholds and rename any that are left according to the usual conventions. Stephen Turner (Talk) 15:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify (as best as I can discern, at least), though the tag sfd's been employed throughout, there's no nomination to rename any of the categories (though upmerger would delete all four, at least in the short term), or to delete any of the templates (just rename one of them).

The result of the debate was rename and upmerge

Unproposed, very very tiny category with misnamed template (standard is NorthernMarianas-x-stub). The parent permcat has fewer than ten articles, and the template that links all the stations lists six stations in total, using just seven frequences. This will never reach the required threshold. Upmerge to the Oceania radio station stub category and generic Northern Marianas stub category, as per standard procedure for small types. Grutness...wha?  01:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with the merge --Rtphokie 02:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was upmerge

As above, unproposed and hopelessly small. Never going to get within a bull's roar of threshold - at least this time the template is well named. Upmerge. Grutness...wha?  01:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge this one too, that's fine. Work on the comments though, you could have fit a few more condescending comments in there.--Rtphokie 02:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
