The result of the discussion was upmerge

Propose category delete, template upmerge. Permcat has 75 articles, but many of these are decent length. I was only able to find about 19 stubs, but my tagging efforts lately are a bit conservative. Dawynn (talk) 13:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was rename to 

I am not sure whether this should be renamed to Category:Album by Japanese artists stubs, Category:Albums by Japanese artist stubs or something else altogether, but a name-change is needed—the current title suggests that the category contains stubs (about albums) by Japanese artists. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Normally we'd just call this . There'd likely be the odd Japanese-only release from overseas artyists, but so few that it wouldn't mess the category up too much. Grutness...wha?  10:51, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It used to be at that title, but it was renamed per Stub types for deletion/Log/2010/June/27. As I recall, the rationale for renaming the permacat (from Category:Japanese albums to Category:Albums by Japanese artists) was to clarify that the nationality of the artists, not the albums, is being defined, and to avoid confusion with other meanings (such as albums released in Japan or with Japanese-language songs). -- Black Falcon (talk) 14:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Yet we have ... How about something like (still ugly)? Is confusion really that likely? Grutness...wha?  23:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That could work, and it would be unambiguous. It occurs to me, however, that since stub categories are template-populated, it is more important that the text of the template be clear than that the title of the category be unambiguous. So, perhaps we should avoid the fooian form altogether: Category:Japan album stubs, following Japan-album-stub and Category:Japan music stubs. -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Normally, that would be perfect - and it's standard practice to use the noun form where permcats are (e.g., ). The only real problem in this case is that there was a fairly well-known band called Japan...  that's probably a minor quibble, though, so i don't see any real reason not to go for that name. Grutness...wha?  23:53, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support: Proposal for, following the precedent set by . I further propose, barring any future dissenting comments, to close this discussion and make this change following a 7-day window starting from the proposal for this name (Apr 14, 2011). Dawynn (talk) 01:17, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was rename per nomination

Propose adding state disambiguators, per the convention of the permacats. -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Category:Cincinnati stubs → Category:Cincinnati, Ohio stubs - per Category:Cincinnati, Ohio
 * Category:Louisville stubs → Category:Louisville, Kentucky stubs - per Category:Louisville, Kentucky
 * Category:Pittsburgh stubs → Category:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania stubs - per Category:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
 * Category:Pittsburgh geography stubs → Category:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania geography stubs
 * Support. I thought' we'd done one of the Pittsburgh ones recently, but it was the Philadelphia one which was recently changed. Grutness...wha?  10:51, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
