The result of the debate was delete

Unproposed, unnecessary and malformed. New, so not used yet, but there's no real reason why it should be used. Given the worryingly small size of (more about which below), there's simply no reason at all for a separate stubb type for the games, even upmerged. Couple that with the fact that the naming is non-standard and there's no category link at all (not even a redlink), and this becomes a firm candidate for deletion.

The result of the debate was rename per Grutness, keep cat for now

There are problems with and - more specifically - its template. Firstly, there are a mere 28 stubs - not even enough to support a stub type for a WikiProject main stub category. There's also an empty (except for one user page) subcategory which isn't for stubs, so shouldn't be there. On top of that, for unknown reasons pokemon-stub is only a redirect; the actual stub is at the ambigguously named poke-stub. There's also a clearly substandardly-named redirect at pokestub. ideally, the template should actually be at pokémon-stub, but there's nothing there, not even a redlink.

I'd like to suggest the following:
 * A rename of the template to pokémon-stub, keeping the redirect at pokemon-stub but deleting poke-stub and pokestub
 * A possible upmerge of the category.

 * Agree with rename/delete templates. As for the category it is close to threshold for a wikiproject (I assume there is one) and where would we upmerge it to? Waacstats (talk) 09:37, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That's one of the reasons it was only a weak delete suggestion. It is close to threshold and seems to be in use - I suspect it's decreasing as a consequence of work by the WikiProject. And there isn't one easy target for an upmerge. Grutness...wha?  00:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
