Pakistan-rail-stub /
Unproposed stub type (presumably by a new WikiProject). Template is a reasonable idea, though it needs pretty drastic clean-up (it links to both a WikiProject and a permcat). Unfortunately, it's also linked to a stub cat,. despite there being no evidence that it will meet the required threshold. I've cleaned up the template, but it may need to be upmerged. Grutness...wha?  02:10, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Worse than I thought. The permcat is a substantial duplicate of a tree of categories already in use, so I'm taking that to CFD as well! Grutness...wha?  02:15, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Netherlands-PvdA-politician-stub /
Unproposed, recently created. While in principle it seems like a reasonable idea, the fact that the article and permcat (and stubcat) use "Labour Party (Netherlands)" as their name suggests the template probably should have been at Netherlands-Labour-politician-stub. Also, the category's pretty thin at only a little over half the threshold (39 stubs), so it may need to be upmerged unless a further 21-odd stubs can be found. Grutness...wha?  01:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that we use -VVD- for one of the templates that did go through the proposal process, the template name's perhaps not a problem. The category size is, though. Grutness...wha?  01:58, 13 July 2011 (UTC)


 * At the moment the category contains 93 stubs. Wikix (talk) 09:40, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * In that case, that'smore than enough - but please propose any new stub types first next time! Grutness...wha?  00:27, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Metaphysics-stub
Unproposed, but thankfully, it's upmerged. Seems well-formed and looks like a reasonable subject area - may be a useful addition to the canon of philosophy stubs. Grutness...wha?  01:43, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Rock-music-stub
Unproposed, seems well-rformed, but is it needed? Rock music is already divided up with a large number of different stub templates, I doubt we have need for a general overall rock music template. Grutness...wha?  12:40, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Excuse me? Is "unproposed" even a word? How dare you jump to conclusions about these things. If you had bothered to read the proposals, you would indeed see that your corruption, and unconstitutional behavior has resulted in this. There is a proposal thank you.

 * You're excused. Yes, of course unproposed is a word. It means not proposed. Ah - yes, my apologies, this was proposed - for some reason the proposal was placed at the bottom of the proposal page most of the way through the month (rather than at the top), which is why I didn't notice it - otherwise I'd have commented at the time. "Corruption"? "Unconstitutional behaviour"? You're joking, right? Grutness...wha?  13:08, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Slovenia-icehockey-bio-stub
Unproposed, and probably a good idea, though it would be better upmerged to the overall rather than - as it is at the moment - to. AFAIK Sweden and Slovenia haven't been politically linked since the days of the Kievian Rus, if then... :) Grutness...wha?  12:40, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Not alot of Slovenian players out there. I would probably upmerge to the European ice hockey biography stubs. But I am not against it at all. -DJSasso (talk) 13:03, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * According to Category:Slovenian ice hockey players, at least 31 Slovenian ice hockey players have biographical articles on this Wikipedia. Is that considered enough for a stub template? Also, regarding the category, that was an accident; I forgot to change "Swedish" to "European", so thanks DJSasso for fixing that. :) Hey  Mid  (contribs) 14:35, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 31's plenty for a template. Basically, if it looks possible that there'll eventually be enough for a category (60), then a template makes sense. Grutness...wha?  01:38, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
