Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion/Log/2011/May/23

Village-stub /
Delete. Don't really need to say that this was unproposed, since it's of a type that's always rejected if it is proposed. As with the unproposed, long-deleted, town-stub, we do not divide geo-stubs by type of feature, for the very practical reason that editors are far more likely to search for regions they know of rather than seek out villages worldwide as potential articles to edit. What's more, such a high proportion of geo-stubs are about villages that any village-stub would be worthless, and any division by type of feature would lead to various "everything else" stub types, something which dividing by geographic region does not do. The only article which this was used on was far more acceptably stubbed with a PunjabIN-geo-stub, BTW. Grutness...wha?  06:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * delete. haven't we deleted this before? Waacstats (talk) 07:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, otherwise I'd have speedied it - but Town-stub has come and gone a couple of times. Grutness...wha?  01:43, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * That would have been it then. Waacstats (talk) 11:42, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Las Vegas-stub

The result of the discussion was delete

Delete, or at the very least rename. Unproposed template which defies WSS naming conventions. At the very least it needs renaming to LasVegas-stub. However, it seems likely that this isn't needed as a separate stub type, at least not as far as WSS is concerned. As far as WPLV is concerned, a talk page template would do everything this could and more (which is why WP:STUB suggests that a talk page banner is more useful for wikiprojects. The other problem is that this is likely to be used for articles about places in Las Vegas which should get a geo-stub rather than a general stub. Grutness...wha?  07:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - This issue should not be resolved until naming conventions for Las Vegas are decided upon. 08OceanBeach S.D.  11:45, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that it contravenes stub naming conventions are enough. Every other city in the world which has a stub type works in the same way. Even if the naming of articles and categories for Las Vegas should require one specific name which is still under debate, that bears no connection with how a stub template should be named.

 * Currently used on only one article so delete. Waacstats (talk) 07:32, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Oran-stub /
Delete. Similar top the above, with the added problem that Algeria is divided by stub sorting into its subnational administrative regions (provinces), which makes for easier stubsorting that splitting by individial cities (this is why we don't have an Algiers-stub). The creator of this stub type has clearly noticed that, since he also created a completely unnecessary, which should also be deleted. Grutness...wha?  07:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * delete as against normal split. Waacstats (talk) 07:33, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
