The result of the debate was delete

Unproposed, links to the non-existent, and ambiguously named (Queen is a pretty massive dab page). If this is for reigning female royals, it is already adequately covered by several different stub types. if, as I suspect, it's for the band, then almost everything is already cover by various song-stub, video-stub and musician-stub types. Generally, only musicians with pretty hefty WikiProjects consider having a stub type, and very few of them are viable stub types (at the moment, the Beatles is the only band with a stub template) - most WikiProjects understandably find the talk-page banner templates far more useful. In this case, there is a smallish WikiProject, and they already use an assessment template (WPQueen). There doesn't seem to be a need for to have as well. Delete would be the best option IMO - if not, some kind of template renaming and upmerging is needed. Grutness...wha?  23:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The one article that uses this is a Freddy Mercury solo single so it was clearly intended for the band and isn't needed for the reasons Grutness gave.  Transforming it into a synonym for royal-stub, pageant-bio-stub, LGBT-stub, or any of the other options doesn't make much sense either. Caerwine Caer’s whines  00:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
