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 upmerge to Cat:Switzerland geography stubs. The Lucerne one will need a separate sfd nomination.


Only 4 articles. Scan can find 18 - not enough for a stub category. Upmerge. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:58, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename to Australia-garden-stub, delete redirect


A peculiar case, this one. Rosiestep correctly proposes {{Botanical-garden-stub}} and {{Arboretum-stub}}, then creates both and this national variety less than a day into the discussion of them (there are both support and oppose comments at the discussion on the generic types, and other alternatives have been suggested). Given that (a) there's no decision yet on the generic types; (b) no discussion at all on by-nation types; (c) a good possibility that if they are approved they will be with different names; (d) no indication that by-nation types are even needed for such a generic stub type; and (e) no clear indication of whether both botanical gardens and botanic gardens should be covered by this (they are not always identical), I feel that this should be deleted.

An intersection of Cat:Judaism stubs and Cat:Theologian stubs. This intersection appears to only contain 4 articles. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:45, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - and delete the template as well. Not only is it poorly named, but it is highly misleading if it is intended to be an intersection of Judaism stubs and theologian stubs - the template states that it is for Jewish theologians - i.e., for theologians whose religious persuasion is Jewish, irrespective of whether their specialist area of research is Judaism or not. The category states that it is for articles related to
jewish theology (a redirect to Jewish philosophy). Given that it is more than likely that some Jewish theologians - template definition - are concerned with other religious studies rather than Jewish theology - category definition - in the same way, for example, as there are Christians who are experts on Buddhism, the whole nature of the purpose for this stub type is pretty unclear. In any case, the topic is pretty thoroughly covered by {{Judaism-bio-stub}} - a stub type which seems, BTW, to be being fairly thoroughly misused to apply to any Jewish biography, whether the person whose article is marked with this template is notable for their religious work or not (why, for instance, are Sigmund Livingston, Henri Bernstein, Wilhelm Salomon Freund, and Jeff Ballabon marked with that stub? The various reli-bio-stub types - including this one -are for people whose main claim to fame is their religious work, not for people who simply happen to be of one particular faith) Grutness...wha? 11:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply

Given the number of unsubcategorised

Historical regions of Latvia (which are too vague to use easily) we wouldn't be considering Livonia as a major split. I suggest deleting these and considering a proposal to split the geo-stubs either into the five regions, 33 districts/cities, or 109 municipalities.

Unproposed stub which defies the naming conventions for stub templates. PL could stand for any of dozens of things, of which Poland would seem the most likely by some distance. It is, however, for computer programming language. The template certainly seems useful enough, and its associated category (which also needs renaming from the plural to the singular as Cat:Programming language topic stubs) is full enough. Rename, but do not keep the current name as a redirect. Grutness...wha? 23:47, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you'd read the note at the top of the page which says "DO NOT rename any stub type that has been nominated here while discussion is still in progress. Any necessary renaming will be done when the discussion is closed." Prog-lang-stub is an equally bad name, since this is a computing-based stub - not a linguistics one, and lang-stub types are all for linguistics stubs (also, prog could be progressive, computer program, television programme, or any of several other things). I've added the new name to the nomination - it should also be deleted and renamed once a rename to a more appropriate name has been discussed, and not before. Grutness...wha? 03:37, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to {{proglang-stub}}, and delete redirects. I believe that the claim that "prog" has other meanings is irrelevant, since none of them have anything called "language". However, "lang-stub" isn't a natural component, since a programming language isn't really a language. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
