Found this one. I don't like the name, but not sure what would work best. My first suggestion would be PuertoRico-biota-stub. But I don't see other biota templates (not even a biota-stub). I might also suggest a pair of templates (PuertoRico-plant-stub and PuertoRico-animal-stub). There are a couple plant stubs (i.e. Australia-plant-stub), but I don't see any regional animal stubs. Please discuss. Dawynn (talk) 19:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The Australia one came about because there are a number of plants unique to Australia. Is the same true for Puerto Rico (and for animals in Puerto Rico too)? SeveroTC 13:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, the biota of Puerto Rico are not especially unique. This template seems to have been applied to any plants or animals that appear in Puerto Rico regardless of whether they are unique to the island. This is a recipe for madness. I recommend delete. Kaldari (talk) 21:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Delete, non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:58, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Unproposed, malformed, and doubtfully needed at this point. I propose scrapping this and moving all 5 articles to Philippines-hotel-stub. Dawynn (talk) 17:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete without leaving redirect. SeveroTC 13:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Both of these upmerge to. I don't see a point in having two main templates for the same category. has found a viable solution to aviod the variant spellings by using theat-stub. I propose the same here. Propose keeping both of these templates as redirects, but build theat-struct-stub as the primary template for this category. Dawynn (talk) 12:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Doing a little more digging, it appears that there was a Theat-struct-stub at one time. But there was desire to have separate templates with the two variant spellings.  But the 'theat' abbreviation remains on all other theatre related templates.  Revising my proposal -- create two templates:
 * theat-struct-stub. Redirect theatre-struct-stub here.
 * US-theat-struct-stub. Redirect theater-struct-stub here, and move any non-US articles over to theat-struct-stub.
 * This way, the US can have theaters, and everyone else can have theatres. Dawynn (talk) 13:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * If we have a -theat- stem, then it should be used throughout, but I can live with your revised proposal. SeveroTC 13:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The variant spellings were wanted in the description. As in "This stub article talks about a specific [theatre / theater]".  Under the revised proposal, the actual template names can all be 'theat', while still allowing the US template to be about a specific theater.  Are there any other nations where theater is preferred over theatre?  Dawynn (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
