Undersized. With only 39 total articles in the permcat, this will struggle to reach population. Delete category, upmerge template. Dawynn (talk) 18:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

14 articles, making this our smallest category. Tried to find more stubs, but can't. Propose deleting category, upmerging template. Dawynn (talk) 11:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Upmerging to what? I agree that the template has served its purpose, there were once over a hundred G.I. Joe stubs, and most of them have been merged into the lists of characters. But I still think there should be an easy way to separately identify the few stub articles that are left in WikiProject G.I. Joe, so that they can possibly be expanded on and improved.

 * There is. The Statistics tables give very easy identification of all articles at every level, based on how articles are tagged in your wikiproject templates. Dawynn (talk) 11:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * And here. Upmerge FWIW. SeveroTC 12:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand that any stub-class articles in the project can be found one way or another by sorting. But my point is that the GIJoe-stub template is listed as a more-specific stub tag under several other projects (Animation, Comics, Toys, Fictional Universe, etc.) If the related category is eliminated, what category do you propose it be upmerged to? Because otherwise there is no one category that fits for all of the articles in . Fortdj33 (talk) 19:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Templates allow for upmerging to up to 3 different categories. Seeing as how its currently under 4 categories, we would need to eliminate one.  I would suggest either eliminating Animation or Comics, and keeping Toys and Fictional Universe.  But that can be a discussion point. Dawynn (talk) 21:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with eliminating any category that is no longer needed. But we can't just eliminate a category for a character article like Voltar (G.I. Joe), who appeared in the toyline, comic books and cartoon series, and therefore is also part of the G.I. Joe fictional universe. Right now, serves the purpose of including that article in all of the appropriate categories, and I am uncomfortable with arbitrarily sorting those stub articles into one category or another, when some of them truly belong in all four categories, and others do not. If the G.I. Joe category is deleted, I just make to make sure that the articles are recategorized properly. Fortdj33 (talk) 19:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep As long as people are using it still, and/or it has the potential of being used in the future, let it be. Nothing gained by deleting it, and some might find it useful.   D r e a m Focus  14:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Undersized. Another category I was unable to fill. Propose to delete category, upmerge template. No prejudice against recreating category if sufficient articles tagged. Dawynn (talk) 03:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
