Various Cat:Ohio Registered Historic Places building and structure stubs templates

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 debate was rename and upmerge - the dist-stub types may need further debate later


From Discoveries: There are 46 templates which are of the form Ohio-countyname-NRHP-struct-stub and 8 of the form Ohio-countyname-NRHP-dist-stub for structures and districts respectively in Ohio. These should be renamed to countynameOH-NRHP-struct-stub to conform to the precedent set by the split of Ohio-school-stub, Florida-NRHP-struct-stub and vaious other splits of US states. Note when announced at discoveries I did not realise that some were for districts do we split these out in any other state. (PS I think I tagegd them all 54 with sfd-t.)

The result of the debate was delete

Novel stubs are divided by decade, and as far as I know the 1948s isn't a decade. There's certainly no need to split them up by year, and if there were, then a proposal for {{1948-novel-stub}} would have been the way to go, not this. Delete. Grutness...wha? 00:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Odder than your average stub this one - not only was it unproposed, and linked directly to a permcat,

WP:CFD work may be necessary as well. Grutness...wha? 02:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

The result of the debate was rename and upmerge

Unproposed, and with an awful non-standard template name. My first thought was that it was a Ku Klux Klan stub - and the Three Kingdoms aren't even listed as a possible meaning at 3K. Cat:Chinese history stubs is far from needing to be split, and there's certainly no guarantee that this would reach threshold. Seems to be the work of a new WikIProject, who would almost certainly be better employed using a talk-page assessment banner. Unless the standard threshold stub level is reached, this should be upmerged as {{ThreeKingdoms-stub}} - even if threshold is reached the template should be renamed and the current name deleted.

Template:Sega-console-stub (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) The template is redundant. Main template: Template:Sega-stub — Janadore 18:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not redundant as the template limits it self to a subset of Sega related articles. Doubtful if there are enough about the hardware to warrant a separate stub type, but I could see a {{Sega-hardware-stub}} as a two category template feeding into the existing Cat:Sega stubs and Cat:Video game hardware stubs that would eliminate some double stubbing. Caerwine Caer’s whines 23:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly, but this is used on articles such as
Sonic Gameworld, as its scoping text is "This article about a game released on a Sega console", so that doesn't seem to be an extent distinction. Perhaps we should do-over from the ground up. Alai 01:38, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

I suspect there are quite a few cvg stub templates like this of dubious use out there - User:JohnnyMrNinja went on a bit of a creation spree about a month or so back, proposing and getting support for one or two then making a dozen or more. It might be worth having a look through his template contribs and seeing what else needs work (I'll leave it to someone who knows more about how the gaming stubs are organised, though). Grutness...wha? 23:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's hard to argue for the template's need when almost nothing links to it. Doczilla (talk) 02:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This one is a thorny one. By the name of the template, it looks like a misguided attempt to be a Stub-Class assessment template for use by a WikiProject. But the template itself is quite clearly a malformed stub template - unproposed, poorly worded, self-referential, and with no category. Also redundant, since we already have {{

sciuridae-stub}} which is specifically for squirrels and other sciuridae. Grutness...wha? 00:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

Geez, stop
Good faith edits aimed at improving our project. It's not hurting anyone. -Pumpmeup 08:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Thoughtless comments by editor removed at 04:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

I haven't "stomped all over" anything with "fucked up regulations" - simply pointed out the reasons why this template doesn't work, and why it doesn't fit in with other simila templates. Similarly, just because an edit is in good faith, which I've no doubt it was, doesn't mean it is going to help your project or Wikipedia as a whole (which it won't). As for not hurting anyone, since it duplicates a long standing and well-used template, it's going to cause confusion as to which template is corrct top use - making it less likely that any of the articles will be tagged and catalogued correctly, and therefore making it less likely that any of the articles will be edited by people who know about squirrels. So yes, it will hurt both your WikProject and Wikipedia. Now, would you care to explain why this should be kept, or at least address some of the reasons I've given why it shouldn't be, rather than just attacking the nominator and complaining about the fact that it's been nominated? Is it meant to be an assessment-style Stub-Class template or a standard stub template? Why does it not have a category? Why does it contain self-reference? Why was it not proposed? What is the difference between it and sciuridae-stub (other than the fact that the latter is correctly formatted and actually does the job it is intended to do)? Grutness...wha? 00:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I sincerely apologize for my blatant incivility displayed above. To put it in nicer words: try to improve rather than remove. You seem to know your stuff when it comes to stub templates, so why don't you spend a moment fixing it? I'm not knowledgeable about templates as such but it's definitely salvageable with but a moments
editing. -Pumpmeup 04:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

Apology accepted, BTW, and apologies from me, too, if you thought I was treading on your toes with this. Unfortunately, the best way to fix it is to delete it in this case, since it duplicates a stub which does the same job - {{
WP:BOLD, which primarily applies to articles. Grutness...wha? 05:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply
]
Don't worry, I know the bold policy, it's just more linkage. We've got one for the talk page, {{
squirrels}}. I might decide to expand it to rating/priority formats if I get time and the project gets members, but for now more basic framework is needed. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Squirrels|Squirrels WikiProject is of course in it's infancy (not helped by the fact it only has the original creator and myself with nil knowledge of our fuzzy friends - not at least here in NZ - as members). Thanks for the advice, I knew you'd be able to clear that up. In case reviewer doesn't get it I'm for deletion now. -Pumpmeup 09:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

The result of the debate was upmerge


Of the many stubs in the sub-cats of the Cat:Navarre, nearly all are tagged with {{Navarre-geo-stub}}. This one is used on one article (Parliament of Navarre) with little potential for further use. Delete. Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We have similar stubs for other Spanish autonomous communities, so upmerge the template into Cat:Spain stubs until there are enough non-geo stubs. Caerwine Caer’s whines 00:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No growth since its discovery in February; links to 15 articles. I suggest we upmerge the template and delete the category for now. Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please tell me this wouldn't get upmerged to Cat:computer stubs? I realize it's no longer #2 or #3 on the "oversized" list... but that's only because others have outgrown it. Alai (talk) 06:16, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meager population, no growth since February, and only 22 items under Cat:Education in Colorado and its sub-cats are stub-sized. Almost all are tagged with {{Colorado-school-stub}}. Delete. Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete

Unproposed, and destined to remain substantially undersized. Cat:Banjo-Kazooie has only seven articles - so the chances of 60 of them being stubs are nil. Template name is also non-standard (we have no Kazooie stubs for this to be a subtype of). Possibility of a rescope to cover all Rareware games, but other than that, delete is the most likely option. Grutness...wha? 01:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bordering on the nonsensically narrow, and having removed it from the one non-stub it was applied to, currently unused. Speedy delete. Alai 02:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Created in an interesting, but obviously well-meant, cart/horse reversal. Not needed (only 36 articles qualify) and covered by Cat:Comedy television series stubs. Delete. Her Pegship (tis herself) 15:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
