The result of the debate was keep

propose the above category and template be deleted, currently not used on any articles. The text states that these are for figure skaters or speed skaters and we have seperate categories for both of these. The only problem is the existance of, as this has a figure skating category that can be moved to and  categories and the current template rescoped to just US-speed-skaters and upmerged to  and.

 * Isn't it potentially useful to have this as a container, and a template to catch speculative stub-sorting of the "this person's a skater, I'll tag them as such"? No strong feelings either way, though.  Alai 02:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * How about deleting the cateory and upmerging the template? Waacstats 07:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * But it's got three subcats, so it's (somewhat) useful as a container, as well as giving the template a "natural" target... Alai 16:00, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rescope to include all skating

propose the above category be deleted, currently contains 1 subcat (although  should be here as well) and no articles. see no reason why any articles could not be placed in. Waacstats 15:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * So you're proposing upmerger, essentially? That seems fair enough, since there's no need for a container for one subcat...  Alai 02:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Disagree, as you've already identified a second stub category and the scope of the permcat includes roller skating, a non winter sport.  There's at least one potential stub British Federation of Roller Skating and probably others as well that didn't get skating-stub applied because its text specifies figure and speed skating only.  Change the text of the template and apply it to roller skating stubs as well. Caerwine Caer’s whines  18:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair point. Alai 12:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * According to the stub category text and the stub itself the scope of the stub cat is narrower at just speed skating and figure skating. however I will withdraw the nomination and rethink.Waacstats 19:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but CW's proposed action would change those, bringing them in line with skating and, which seems pretty logical. Alai 18:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
