An unproposed undersized category which (given the size of the stub and non-stub parents) seems unlikely to get close to threshold:

Cat:Swedish mathematician stubs (18 articles)

This should be upmerged into Cat:European mathematician stubs and Cat:Swedish scientist stubs. Grutness...wha? 00:29, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Several tiny Ukrainian stub categories

The result of the debate was delete (speedy, with creator's consent)

All unproposed, all VERY undersized. Given the size of the stub and non-stub parents, nome of them seems likely to get close to threshold:

Cat:Ukrainian mathematician stubs (2 articles)
Cat:Ukrainian business biography stubs (2 articles)
Cat:Ukrainian culture stubs (4 articles)
Cat:Ukraine media stubs (1 article)

Given that it seems highly unlikely that any will reach the 60-stub threshold, and that none has oversized stub cat parents, they should all be upmerged into their respective continental/subject parents and into Cat:Ukrainian people stubs or Cat:Ukraine stubs.

PS -i note also that several of the Ukrainian geography stub categories are fairly severely undersized...they may need checking. Grutness...wha? 00:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I (the creator of the first 4 mentioned categories) didn't know there was a 60-stub threshold ; I'll upmerge them. Never created a Ukrainian geography stub category. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 00:53, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to upmerge Template:Ukraine-mathematician-stub but have no idea if I actually did so. Please tell me if I got it right or just did something pointless to it... — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 01:04, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite - it should still go to stub categories rather than a "permanent category". I've fixed it up (have a look at it now) - if you're willing to have the others done the same way, then this could be speedied. Grutness...wha? 07:30, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just did ! — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 16:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) By the way, if the templates do get to be used on over 60 stubs, then it's likely that the categories will be re-created. Grutness...wha? 00:48, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
