Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion/Log/2011/June/10

Premature Iran categories

 * 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 discussion was upmerge (or, given there are no templates, move articles to other stub categories)

Unapproved, no template, with little hope of reaching viable size. Please delete the following categories, tagging all articles with approved stub tags: Dawynn (talk) 13:13, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * As creator of these categories, I agree that they are still premature, but I have plan to complete these categories in a Month. I just made those for in first step to sorting Iranian writing articles that spread through the Wikipedia. Unfortunately most of Iranians I see in Wikipedia are sensitive in political articles but no one help me in literature parts. Now, what would I do after this nomination for deletion? Is it possible to stop deletion?P. Pajouhesh (talk) 16:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * First, stop the way you are loading these stub categories. Please go to the proposal page and propose new templates for the areas you want to work on.  Stub articles are not added directly to categories, but tagged with templates.  With templates, you can freely tag articles without frustrating team members about the size of your categories.  For now the templates could be upmerged to .  Once the templates have at least 60 articles, they can be moved into separate categories. Dawynn (talk) 18:43, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, shouldn't really have cats flying around without templates. Waacstats (talk) 23:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Stub cats being used without templates is a no-no. No reason not to have proposals for the templates, though, although "critics" is very very ambiguous (theatre critics? critics of the political regime? what?) Grutness...wha?  01:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's also worth noting that two of the categories are misnamed (plurals), and a significant proportion of the articles in these categories aren't stubs... Grutness...wha?  01:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
