 * Rename to CookIsland-politician-stub / Category:Cook Island politician stubs
 * The correct adjective for something from the Cook Islands is "Cook Island". The parent category is, and the ultimate parent is . Compare also to all the other categories that use this adjective. The template name wouldn't necessarily need to be changed (since it could be said to correctly represent the country as a noun, rather than an adjective), but it probably would be helpful if it was for consistency' sake.

 * Keep template at current name; Delete category (upmerge template). You seem to forget that we always use "Noun-X-stub" as trhe standard template form, which would be CookIslands-politician-stub.

 * Comment (nom). Well I'll be dinged, I did forget that—though it seems obvious enough to me now. I'm willing to withdraw the proposals as stated. I'm not familiar enough with what the required threshold would be to say whether or not the category should be kept, but I'm more than willing to take your word for it and agree that it be deleted.

 * 60 existing stubs (unless there's a Cook Island politics WikProjects, when the threshold would drop to 30). we're usually a bit lenient on deletion - if there are 50+ it's usually regarded as close enough. I doubt you'll find more than a dozen or so stubs for this, though. Grutness...wha?  00:39, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
