MeherBaba-stub /

 * 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 delete

Unproposed, and given that the parent category has just 64 articles (of which nearly half are for followers of meher baba, who would not normally get a religion-stub added), there is little chance of this reaching the required number of currently existing stubs. Currently used on three stubs, one of which is a bio-stub (though at least it is for someone more than tangentially connected with the topic). At best, an upmerge seems in order, though an outright deletion is not out of the question. Grutness...wha?  00:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; as we don't have any other stub types named after philosophers or deities, I would rather not set a precedent. Her Pegship  (tis herself) 04:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; I'm the one who made it and I don't mind it being deleted. Apparently I did not read up enough on procedure concerning stub sorting and didn't know they need to be approved. I see it is a bad precedent. Please delete or let me know what to do for speedy delete. I removed the stub from all articles. Cott12 (talk) 13:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Basically, by agreeing to the deletion you've already done what's necessary for it to be speediable. And thanks for re-editing the articles :) Grutness...wha?  22:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Unproposed. One of the more vague and bewildering subjects for a stub type. In its defence, there is a, though that seems to be equally vaguely defined, and every stub this could contain is already covered by other stub types (e.g., the stub type for music venues). Also no sign that it could reach the threshold level of 60 stubs. Currently used on one article. Delete. Grutness...wha?  00:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was move to Iran-writer-stub and delete the resulting redirect

Unproposed, and contrary to standard stub naming. Also redlinked. Currently used on one article. Suggest renaming and upmerging, without keeping the current name as a redirect. Grutness...wha?  00:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I have just created this template, as I couldn't find any template similar to this. Also I'm going to mark other pages too.  I'm gonna rename it to Iran-writer-stub.  Also I'll fill the category page as well. Behnam (talk) 12:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, my work is done. Any suggestion now? Behnam (talk) 17:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, the size of the category's now fine, as is the new name, and look useful enough to stay - but the old name redirect of Iranian-writer-stub should still be deleted. Grutness...wha?  00:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm not sure how to delete it.  Would you delete it yourself please? Behnam (talk) 12:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * BTW, I just removed ((sfr-t|Iran-writer-stub)) from ((Iran-writer-stub)). Behnam (talk) 11:12, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

AquaticInvert-stub / (redlink)

 * 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 relist as it has changed somewhat since first nominated, with a category added as well

Unproposed, unused, strangely named, and contrary to the stub hierarchy. There is no such thing as an "Aquatic Invert", and it sounds dubiously like turning water upside down. What there are are aquatic invertebrates (lower case, full word), and invertebrates, for stub purposes, are split by family and order, not by habitat. To compound matters, the redlink is to a nonexistent permcat. Delete. Grutness...wha?  00:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
