 * 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 Rename. The original title is more gramatical and sounds better. However consensus says that consistency is more important. Until the time when all these can be changed, the category should be renamed. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename per naming conventions to match Scotland-school-stub and the other UK school stub categories. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support, with extension to other possible similar categories. This one's a bit of a problem by the looks of it. A lot countries use the adjectival form for the categories ("Canadian school stubs", "Australian school stubs", etc) - the ratio's about 3 to 2 in favour of them. It seems to be mainly the European ones that don't, for some reason. I'd suggest either changing all the European (which are in, not , note) and similar ones to the adjectival form or changing all of them to the noun form. I'm swayed towards the idea of using noun form for them all, simply because of the possible confusion between nationality and language (is an English school one in England, or one that teaches English? What about a Japanese school?) Whatever happens, there needs to be some kind of uniformity, so it's either change all of the countries to adjectival form or change them all to noun form. In either case, subnational regions should be left in the noun form and the UK and US ones should be at "United Kingdom" and "United States" (as is standard practice for stub types). The template matter is irrelevant, BTW, all stub templates should be in the noun form. Grutness...wha?  23:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. No such convention;  precedents highly mixed;  proposed name is extremely clumsy and goes against all normal English usage and category naming.  Alai (talk) 16:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I know we tend to disagree on which way these things should be named, but surely some form of uniformity is desirable with these? Grutness...wha?  01:18, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support to match similar categories in, specifically and , and to avoid confusion surrounding whether "Scottish" denotes location or language. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 06:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
