edit- 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
Unproposed, very peculiar use off upper/lower case, hyphens and spaces that defies naming guidelines. Category has no parents, though it must be admitted that the logical permcat (Category:Davis Cup) has enough items that thiswill be able to pass threshold. Category:Tennis stubs is not in need of further splitting, at just 240 stubs, but this one, if adopted, wouold pretty much clean it out - I count some 130-140 Davis Cup stubs in there. As such, rename the template to {{DavisCup-stub}} (deleting the current name), but keep and fix up the category. Grutness...wha? 23:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Seemed a bit odd to me, too, but as there's an actual Davis Cup-Fed Cup Project, I assume this is a useful split at least to some. But I'll at the tennis WPJ, just to make sure. Otherwise, rename per nom. Alai 02:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I brought it hre rather than to the discoveries page because I initially didn't think it would get close to threshold - Iwas quite surprised when I say how many stubs it could deal with. BTW, there are quite a number of Fed Cup stubs too, though not threshold - perhaps two templates leading into a Davis/Fed cup stub category might make some sense?

- The project (or at least, the one responder so far -- I don't think it's exactly a large project...) says "nothing to do with us, gov" (and expresses no desire at all for a Davis/Fed cat, or indeed to populate this one). OTOH, it would likely be easily bot-populable, and it'd split a 2-page cat into two 1-page cats (a possibly desirable, if profoundly non-urgent step). So it looks like a bit of a toss-up between upmerge and populate (after first renaming the template in either case). Alai 16:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to clarify: I'm not against having the stub, I'm just sort of "meh" about it. It does seem like a good division, and if it's easily bot-populated, then that shoots down my main reason for not liking it. Also FYI, there will be more Fed Cup stubs coming, once we start making team articles. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 02:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- "Meh" is what I'd inferred, and was trying to convey. :) If it's potentially useful, let's rename and populate, and then do the same with the Fed cup stubs in due course (for which we might create an upmerged template now, to save retagging later). Alai 23:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was speedy delete
Where to start? Never proposed. Misnamed template, in terms of capitalisation, blank space, and "not what it says on the can". Misnamed category, both in terms of capitals and abbreviations. Malformed category links. Already covered by other categories, such as soviet-stub, various hist-stubs and geo-stubs. Delete. Grutness...wha? 06:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Tag with {{Soviet-stub}} instead. Valentinian T / C 07:25, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Sped as unused. Alai 16:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was speedy delete
Not what it says on the can (I was expecting a stub type for biograpohies of actual warriors, or at the very least for New Zealand's top rugby league team) - this is an unproposed stub for a series of books. The parent permcat only has about 25 articles, so the chances of this reaching the 60-stub threshold are zilch. If it were needed it would have to be renamed unambiguously and upmerged , but since it's hardly likely to be needed editorially or for stub-sorting purposes, deletion seems the better option.

- Delete. I, the creator of this template, give the closing admin the full permission to delete this template. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Sr13 (T|C) ER 06:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Sped. Alai 09:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
