Boys Love-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 unused stub type for a subtype of a subtype of a subtype of anime and manga stubs. There isn't even an article for Boys Love - it's a redirect to Yaoi - and Yaoi wouldn't have near enough stub articles for a separate stub category. preposterously over-specific - and that's without even mentioning the non-standard template name. (this, BTW, was created by a "repeat offender" who has had unproposed and unnecessary stub templates deleted in the past. Delete. Grutness...wha?  01:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Can I see the template link, to be certain, its unuse please? Thanks.-- Freewayguy  Msg USC 04:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You don't need to see the template link - just look at the category. The only thing in it is the template. Since the template automatically puts things in the category, it can't be in use on any articles. If you want to double-check, then use the template's "what links here" link in the toolbox - which will link here and to the creator's user talk page (I notified him of the SfD) but to no articles - but the empty category is plenty of evidence for the lack of use.

The result of the debate was delete

Unproposed and unused stub type for a make of computer, and specifically designated as a subtype of. I mention that because, while an MSX-stub is not viable, an MSX-game-stub might conceivably be useful in upmerged form (there are some 260 articles on MSX games, but only about 20 articles on MSX itself). So there are really two plausible options: either delete outright or rename, rescope, and upmerge. (FWIW, this was made by the same "repeat offender" as the one above, BTW). Grutness...wha?  01:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Extremely dubious of the usefulness of a MSX-game-stub. I looked at a few of the articles in the MSX game category, and they all seemed to be multi-platform games.  Given the nature of the MSX system, I can't see where it would have any exclusive games except maybe some flops that no one bothered to port to another system anyway.  Upmerge template to, if a few articles that would use it can be found that is. Caerwine Caer’s whines  02:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Same thing with the one above.-- Freewayguy  Msg USC 04:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Same response as above. Grutness...wha?  01:51, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I would like to point out (as much as I like video-game-stubs) that this type could never be needed. Computer-stub and Computer-game-stub would work fine, if the articles that need it even exist. Don't even bother upmerging, nothing uses it now.  JohnnyMrNinja  04:55, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
