The result of the discussion was '''rename template. Note that category is still below threshold; if it remains so, it may be re-nominated for upmerging'''

Unproposed creation of this and its associated template. Well-formed, but the entire tree of has fewer than 30 articles, so there's no way this has 60 currently existing stubs. Upmerge into until there are sufficient stubs for this to reach the threshold. Grutness...wha?  01:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The topic Asian Para Games just got a dedicated task force (Asian Games task force), under which I'm trying to make new articles. I am busy at the moment with the some other stuff of task force, but from tomorrow would happily make articles for Para Games, and there would definitely have been more than 30/50 stub articles (criteria says 30 if there is a specific associated WikiProject). So I request three more days for my work.  undefined — Bill william compton  Talk   01:44, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If you've got a task force, then you should be looking at an assessment template, not a stub template. Stub categores are not connected with individual subject projects or task-forces; they're run for editors across the entirety of Wikipedia. Read WP:Stub. And a task force is not a separate WikiProject, so the threshold would still be 60 (the specific WikiProject already has its specific template - multi-sport-stub). In any case, stub categories are only created when there are sufficient existing stubs to warrant them. Normal procedure would have been to make the stubs first and then proposed a template and category at WP:WSS, or - as I said - used an assessment template, which is far more flexible to an individual task-fore's needs.

I've also just realised that the template is at the wrong name. There is no such thing as the "Asian para games", they're the Asian Para Games - so the template should be at Asian-Para-Games-stub -simple renaming required (no objection to keeping the current name as a redirect).

 * Okay, I admit it was a mistake, I should have made stubs first. But now this category is worthy to keep, as it includes 44 articles, and within two more days it certainly would have crossed mark of 60. And yes I support the renaming of template.  undefined — Bill william compton  Talk   03:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The usual principle with this page is that if a stub type can get to threshold before it becomes old business then - unless there are other major problems with it - there's a very good chance it'll be saved. In this case the major problem was the lack of files - if there's no lack of files, then - unless someone else points out other major problems - I don't see any problem with it. But it's got to get there! Grutness...wha?  01:09, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Assuming -just for the moment - that we were sometime soon going to start splitting politicians by individual city. Where would be the first place to start. New York City, perhaps, or Paris, or London. I doubt whether Montclair, New Jersey would enter many people's minds. Given that we don't split politicians by individual city anyway, this becomes doubly odd. In any case, both articles that this was on were already correctly tagged with NewJersey-politician-stub.
