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]

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 Category:Judaism stubs and Category: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 Category:Latvia stubs, splitting off regions seems a poor option. It could be seen as a good move with Category:Latvia geography stubs, since that is getting close to the golden number of 800 stubs, but if we were to split it, then Livonia would not be a prime candidate for a split. Latvia's administrative reguions are a bit difficult, since they've recently changed from five regions divided into 26 districts and 7 cities, but this year they changed to 109 municipalities. But even if we used the old 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. Each of the nominated templates was only used on one article, BTW. Grutness...wha? 12:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A category for 5 articles? I think the template should be upmerged to Category:Paraguayan people stubs and Category:Writer stubs. Borgarde (talk) 10:38, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Upmerge. Indeed it should - even more so since this has only four articles (you counted the template!). Looks like it was created without proposal two years ago by User:Jbmurray, and hasn't gained any more stubs in all that time. Of course, if another 56 can be found, it would be worth keeping, but judging from the size of the two stub parent categories and the history of the category so far, that doesn't seem likely.

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 Category: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've renamed it to {{Prog-lang-stub}}, which is probably sufficiently explicit give how the other stubs in Category:Computer science stub templates are named. You'll probably need to use a script to fix all uses if you delete the redirect though. No objection to renaming the category. Pcap ping 23:57, 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]

Category:Computer language stubs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Since we don't have an article on "computer language" for almost a year now, I propose this category be deleted. The only reason I'm doing this busy work rater than redirecting {{compu-lang-stub}} to {{PL-stub}} is that an administrator thinks it is necessary and undid my redirect although he has no comment on content of my action, only the form thereof.
