I performed catscan cross-search between and each of the decade categories (e.g., ). I was only able to find 30 or so albums where the genre was definitely indicated as death metal or something similar. Propose upmerging the template to and  and deleting the category.

The result of the discussion was '''rename category and keep main template; delete other two. Still needs to be populated - deletion may still be an option if it does not reach threshold'''

We seem to have acquired a set of unproposed stub types for Eurovision:
 * Eurovision-stub / — upmerge
 * Eurovision-junior-stub (upmerged) — delete
 * Eurovision-dance-stub (upmerged) — delete

While the first type is plausibly viable, I see little point in the upmerged types. only has a handful of articles, so the chances of requiring a separate template seem slim, to say the least, and what's more their naming goes against stub naming conventions. We don't have a junior-stub for Eurovision-junior-stub to be a subtype of, and it would be a pretty weird thing to have anyway. Since Junior and Dance are capitalised in the titmes, the correct names, if needed, would be EurovisionJunior-stub and EurovisionDance-stub, but deletion of these two types seems more practical, especially since between the two of them they are used on only one stub. The main one (Eurovision-stub/)... certainly the template seems to make sense, but unless it's clear that it will get more use than it's currently getting, it may need upmerging. Seems like this may be a case of a brand new WikiProject which didn't read the instructions... Grutness...wha?  01:11, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Note - the natural permcat for is , which has 264 pages tagged with stub tags. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:03, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * And therein lies a problem, since Eurovision covers more than just the song contest (hence the junior and dance stub types). It would be the best parent, though, quite clearly. In that case, I'd suggest a rename and populating of the category (new name ), keeping Eurovision-stub, but deleting the other two. Grutness...wha?  01:16, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * The song contest is synonymous with "Eurovision". I don't see anything wrong with leaving the main stub at Eurovision-stub. The other two are surplus to requirements as Grutness concludes. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 10:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
