 * 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 (well, proposed after the fact, which isn't really a proposal, more a "post-posal"). Against all normal stub-splitting practice, which is to never split geo-stubs by actual type of location, but always by subnational region. Rationale for splitting it out - according to creator - was to separate it from stubs which wouldn't have normally been regarded as geo-stubs anyway, so it's more a case of faulty sorting of non-geo-stub types as geo-stubs than any actual need for this stub type. Delete, ASAP. Grutness...wha?  00:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Makes more sense to sort by region than by type, as that's the usual way of handling this stuff. Randomran (talk) 00:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. If someone is gung-ho to split these, would could templatise by province, but since those are almost certain to be much too small at present, upmerge to the former oblasts -- which, conveniently, are typically three or so of the current provinces.

 * Fine, delete it. I made a mistake with this stub and category, and I acknowledge that. I made it without prior reading the relevant page. I have deleted it from the listings on Wikiproject Bulgaria, and replaced everywhere where it occurred with the Bulgaria-geo-stub template. Sorry for causing any trouble.--P.Marlow (talk) 18:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem; thanks for understanding. Given that we have the consent of the creator, and that it's now empty, I think we can speedy this.  Alai (talk) 05:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename all cats We seem to have had three non-standard category names for some time, two of which are also very ungainly. I'd like to propose the following renames: Grutness...wha?  05:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete Not a biggie, but one that grates every time I see it - which nowadays is practically never. It's an old manifestation of geo-stub, dating from the very early days of stub-sorting, and virtually never used. I regularly sort through (usually five or so times a week), and in the last two years I doubt I've seen this more than twice. It's simply not used, and I seriously doubt we'd be any worse off it we ditched it. We may even be better off, since anyone who does still think this is the proper name would automatically look in the wrong place for country-specific geo-stub names. Delete.
