October 19 edit

{{PJ-stub}} 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 Speedy delete

Delete. Faulty on many levels:

unproposed (if it had been, and on the rare chance that it had been approved, it would have been radically reworked)
despite its name, it's use seems to be as a Stub-Class assessment template, not a stub template -as such it should be a talk-page banner assessment template
hyper-ambiguous name -PJ could refer to many things far more easily than to the actual subject (Percy Jackson & the Olympians). Peter Jackson, Pyjamas, Punjab, Police Judiciaire, and PJ Harvey, to name but five. Percy Jackson and the Olympians isn't even mentioned at PJ!
No indication that the stub category which is currently used for these articles is in need of a split.

Comment Sorry for the fuss :(. I'm inexperienced with templates in general, and although I tried to research them before creating, I will support the delete because:

It has been deleted before. (as told to me by Pmlinediter)
The constructive criticism/reasons for deletion raised above.

I guess the PJTF will have to stick with the more general {{Fantasy-stub}} for the time being. Airplaneman ^talk 23:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it sounded familiar from somewhere - I'd forgotten it had been deleted before (under another name). I'd suggest using a banner talk page template - that way you can assess all the articles covered by the task force, not just stubs ({{WPNZ}} is a good example of this type of template). They're more complex to make, but with any luck it'll be easy to find someone with a bit more experience of templates who'd be able to make one for you Grutness...wha? 23:54, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll certainly consider that. Thanks for your help! Airplaneman ^talk 00:01, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There already is one {{NovelsWikiProject}} that supports stubs for the Percy Jackson task force - so no need for anything more just use what is there. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we can go ahead with the delete :(. Airplaneman ^talk 03:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
