The result of the debate was delete

There are currently 24 articles with this stub categorization, nearly all of them for actors and producers (semi-)involved with the Stargate franchise (they are/can be tagged with the people stub templates like tv-bio-stub). All in-universe Stargate stubs were merged some time ago. WP:WikiProject Stargate introduced the regular quality assessment, including the new Category:Stub-Class Stargate articles, some months ago, so the old manual categorization is redundant now. – sgeureka t•c 19:07, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added the unused Stargate-episode-stub and to this nomination. In neither case is there any necessity for such categorisation. These stub types have survived for  three and a half and two and a half years respectively with only a paltry number of stubs. The categories are astonishingly verbose, and - as you point out - there is nothing here that a Stub-Class rating on a talk page assessment template wouldn't achieve more effectively. Couple that with the fact that Category conventions deliberately avoid assigning actors to categories on the basis of roles they have played. Remove them and you're down to just nine stubs - all but one of them for writers or similar. Delete. Grutness...wha?  22:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
