The result of the debate was delete

The user who created this did propose it at WP:WSS/P, where it was pointed rejected as a proposal, on the grounds that there were not enough stubs, that Irish stubs are split by county, not city, and that the proposed stub type would be mixing geo- struct- and other stubs. The creator of this, rather than accept that or go against the rejection and create a stub template (either upmerged or with a dedicated category) has simply made a misnamed category with no template, thereby making things trickier and messier for all concerned. Both her Pegship and I have suggested to the editor that a list on a user subpage would be a more practical and useful solution for all concerned. The category, though, should be deleted. Grutness...wha?  23:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * To be fair, I think the user's intent was to collect possible stub articles and not to thwart The Project...my sense is that he's not savvy about the categoryspace / userspace differentiation. I hope. Her Pegship  (tis herself)  01:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I get the same feeling, which is why I said (rather clumsily, I'll admit) that it wasn't really a case of going against the rejection by defiantly creating a stub type. It would still make sense if this was deleted and turned into a user subpage, even if one or the other of us has to help set that sub-page up. Grutness...wha?  03:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to make this a stub.Im just trying to put all the articles realting to drogheda in a category!--Markreidyhp (talk) 15:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * A stub type is a template, a category, or a combination of the two. By creating, you have "made this a stub", whether it was your intention or not. Grutness...wha?  00:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was move to SriLanka-school-stub

Unproposed and misnamed stub type. Upmerged, I'm glad to say, but should be at SriLanka-school-stub, unless Sri Lanka has decided to drop the upper case on its name. Rename (and don't keep the current name as a redirect). Grutness...wha?  23:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well! i wasn't aware of following this procedure of proposing the creation of a stub template and will surely follow these in future. Other thing which i must mention is about the Srilanka-stub. I think it is also misnamed. -- S M S  Talk 23:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Mm - good point. It's a redirect rather than the main template, but it still doesn't fit with the naming conventions for stub templates. Grutness...wha?  02:52, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
