Scotland-constituency-stub / Category:Scottish Parliamentary constituencies stubs

 * 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 category; redirect template to UK-poli-stub

Neither stub nor category are in use or likely to be used in the near future. The stub type was discovered back in August 2006 with a total of 72 articles, however all Scottish Parliamentary constituency articles have now reached a status of C-class on the quality scale. The only way that new constituency articles will be needed is if there are significant boundary changes ahead of the next Scottish Parliament election in 2011 and even then there are unlikely to be many new constituencies. Delete as an unused stub type unlikely to be used in the next 3 years. Road Wizard (talk) 23:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the category, certainly. Either delete the template or make it into a redirect to the equivalent UK template. If it's been used it may be still on someone's radar, and there's no real harm in having it as a redirect. Grutness...wha?  00:08, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with a redirect proposal. Just to clarify though, the closest equivalent UK template would appear to be UK-poli-stub which is linked to Category:British politics stubs. However, the UK-election-stub template which links to Category:British election stubs is also an option. Road Wizard (talk) 00:23, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
