 * 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 with no prejudice against recreation if and when they reached 60 stubs.

Propose upmerge. The following categories need more incubation before recreation. I have no prejudice against recreating the categories in the future, if they reach maturity: Dawynn (talk) 12:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Propose delete, migrate all articles to. The terminology category only has 7 articles, and no permcat of its own. Moving the articles will help to fill out the undersized parent category. Dawynn (talk) 11:28, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Keep - It's a long time ago but I believe this stub category was created to distinguish between stub articles of aircraft engine types and aircraft engine terminology. It has a parent category and I wouldn't agree that it is under-populated, it's conceivable that at times both categories could be empty (I have seen a banner asking for temporarily empty categories not to be deleted). It's a useful project maintenance category, I wouldn't have created it otherwise. It forms part of the tagging and categorisation process at WikiProject Aircraft/Engines/Categories. Thanks.

 * Please help us understand, why would it be important to differentiate between types and terminology in the stubs, but not important in the permanent categories? One of my main reasons for this proposal was because there is not a .  With a permanent category, I would agree that at least the template should be kept.  Keeping the template would allow for the distinction between the two areas, including differing text placed on each stub article.  Dawynn (talk) 12:40, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly, if an editor happens to have a good source on engine terminology ('The jet engine' book by Rolls-Royce) for instance then using this one source they may well be able to improve all the engine terminology stubs to start class or above, without the category there is no other easy way to find the terminology stub articles amongst the 230 aero engine article stubs. If the answer to the problem is to create a category then I can very easily do that. Further, a category missing that I intended to create (after discussion at WT:AETF) is Category:Aircraft engine components which would also involve a stub tag and category, its equivalent for aircraft is Category:Aircraft components which is driven by Template:Component-aircraft-stub.

 * Upmerge. Almost proposed this one myself recently. It's seriously undersized and has no equivalent permcat. Nothing will be lost by upmerging these articles into the Aircraft engine stub cat, since it will very likely be the same group of editors working on both types of article. Similar situations of mixing actual objects and terminology exist in numerous other stub types, and if we keep the separate template a new category can always be proposed later if the number of terminology stubs grows to the threshold 60 stubs and if a permcat is also deemed appropriate. Grutness...wha?  00:12, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Upmerge and Delete per nominator. I wonder why we have to have a cat for aircraft engine term stubs. WikiCopter 03:50, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
