The result of the debate was delete

Chapter book stub and Child-chapter-book-stub
Unproposed, no categories, one of them poorly formatted and poorly named, inter-redundant (since all chapter books are for children, these refer to the same thing). Topping it all off, there's no permcat and the article Chapter book is itself a stub. And, of course, these are already well covered by Child-book-stub. Delete both.

 * Delete; I'll create the other 2 types proposed so the sorting can proceed under more conventional types. Her Pegship  (tis herself) 03:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

India-sports-stub/
The odd one out - all other templates of its type are at "Foo-sport-stub" and all other categories (rightly or wrongly?) are at "Fooian sports stubs" - so, a rename: Grutness...wha?  00:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * India-sports-stub &rarr; India-sport-stub
 * &rarr;
 * Most of the by country by sport categories are at "Fooian sport stubs", not "Fooian sports stubs". I'm neutral on the sport v. sports issue, but if consistency is to be established for the sport by country template with minimum changes then the changes that need to be made are:
 * India-sports-stub &rarr; India-sport-stub
 * &rarr;
 * Japan-sports-stub &rarr; Japan-sport-stub
 * &rarr;
 * However, if we're going to wring some consistency in these, I'd prefer we set the category pattern to "Foo sport stubs", if only to avoid a needless argument between "American/British sport stubs" and "United States/Kingdom sport stubs" as the corresponding permanent categories are of the form "Sport in Foo".

I hadn't spotted the Japanese one... yes, I agree that changing them all to would be better for permcat consistency, such that it is - which might mean this needs relisting with a revamped proposal? Note that this also affects a proposal for a similar Korean stub type at WP:WSS/P (which is what made me notice the Indian one in the first place). Grutness...wha?  01:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support for the expansion and relisting. Caerwine Caer’s whines 04:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Rename categories to use "sport" form; move templates, keeping redirects. Alai (talk) 18:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
