The result of the debate was delete

Unproposed... Initially I thought this was a reasonable stub, but there are several things that need doing to it if (and it's a fairly big if) it's to be kept. The first problem is the name. Literature stubs all use the form lit-stub, never literature-stub. Second, there's the scope and size. This might be fine as an upmerged form to UK-lit-stub, but at the moment there isn't a - nor even a UK-lit-stub, since there's not a large enough number of lit-stubs that these need splitting out from it. For the most part literature is split by type, rather than by country of origin (though there are some such stub types for literature from countries where English is not a primary language). Though Scotland does hbave a proud literary heritage, I just don't see the need for this stub type at the moment - it should preferably be deleted, or failing that thoroughly rescoped and renamed for British literature as a whole.

 * Delete Category:Scottish literature only has 52 members so even if they were all stubs this type would still have trouble reaching the ~60 article threshold. - Icewedge (talk) 07:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
