**The projectahs been around for a while, and seems inactive. I nonetheless moved it to a more appropriate location recently. Also the word digimon is usually invariable in the plural. And anyway, the stub name refers more likely to the anime than the individual creatures, so the name is appropriate, AFAIAC. 18:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Serbia-stub (and its category, Serbia-related stubs). Looks to be well used... the one minor niggle with this is that the geographical equivalent is SM-geo-stub (Serbia and Montenegro geography stubs), which therefore covers the whole federation. 01:35, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

It was just added to the list badly. :However it does need fixing (after a fashion) because it was created today by without going through the procedure listed above. Quite frankly, I m not sure if it s even needed. :It is currently used on two articles (both created by Germen). The bucket chosen for the list (
Don t have much of an opinion on them, other than they don t seem to be particularly useful... -- 23:23, 19 October 2005 (UTC) :Britcartoonist was the original name of the comics one, ISTR, but has possibly done its time. Of the others, the only one that seems worth keeping is government-stub. Three of the other four are badly named (mind you, so are BiH-stub and Afl-stub), and the fourth is redundant. 23:50, 19 October 2005 (UTC) ::Strangely enough, I think might be worth keeping. We have a bunch of near synonyms for that we are already keeping, and might just want to add more, such as . I m being a tad sarcastisic here, but not much since I wouldn t call a lyricist an author or vice versa. :::You should vote on sfd then.

The category needs parents, and it s capitalization leaves something to be desired. But this is probably useful, given the size of (although it s not clear whether we re splitting that by country or type or both). -- 03:56, 21 October 2005 (UTC) :Would be clear enough a name 10:11, 21 October 2005 (UTC) ::I think it would be. -- 01:53, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Created in september by joshurtree. Over 100 stubs. Looks ok. 23:00, 21 October 2005 (UTC) :Mmm. Not so OK. :/ We ve been splitting the UK by county and region, and the Hebrides straddle two regions. Scotland does need splitting (I ve been putting that off until England was a bit more close to completion) but I m not convinced that this is the way to do it, and it s going to play merry hell with trying to split the rest of Scotland up. 00:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC) ::So split it into Inner & Outer when it gets big enough, shirley :) - 10:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC) ::: Surely you can t be serious Of course I m serious - and don t call me Shirley! 10:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

All created today. Loco-stub isn t to the point where it needs splitting (it s only 2 pages), but these would cover most engines, I d think, so some/all might be viable. -- 02:29, 22 October 2005 (UTC) :True, but it would probably make far more sense to split by country. A railway buff is likely to know far more about all locomotives from their country than about a motive power category worldwide. 05:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Created on 2 September, doesn t appear to be used on anything at the moment. Has two category redlinks. Not sure if there s enough to make this useful, but if kept it would descend from . And would need fixing. -- 06:47, 22 October 2005 (UTC) :redirect 10:50, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

And the redirect *Weird. And with a circularity in the categories, for good measure. I ve reversed category and redirect, and moved the articles and sub-cats. But this is probably reasonable and possibly viable, depending on numbers in UK-stub. Though let the ritual scolding of the creator begin, regardless. 04:32, 23 October 2005 (UTC) *No need to have a redirected category. Once it s been empty a couple of days it can be speedied. I agree that is the better name, and I don t see any problem with this one being filled (but now that it exists, expect someone to come along and create Wales-stub and England-stub!) 08:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC) *The standard naming of such stubs is foo-related stubs , so why did Alai move it to the non-standard foo stubs It really is a mess with the circularity of the redirect. I tried to reverse it to Scotland-related stubs, but as a newbie I do not understand why the artcles (11 of them ) did not automatically go back to Scotland-related from Scotland. This will have to go to 11:47, 26 October 2005 (UTC) *The standard is not foo -related stubs , but foo stubs . If this is to be discussed on a deletion page, it has to be 12:39, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Created today, used on 2 articles. Very likely viable, given the size of it s parent categories. -- 03:27, 23 October 2005 (UTC) :I say we inform the creator of this template and category of the procedures, for future cases, add this one to 16:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Zero articles and no stub template. Note there is also the repurposed / with 158 stubs, with redirecting to UN-stub. The UN-stub should probably be renamed to Intl-org-stub, and the United Nations stub category should probably be deleted. 03:56, 23 October 2005 (UTC) :This was the original category fo UN-stub... but it hasn t been used since February . That s slightly longer than 48 hours, so it can safely be speedied. UN-stub does need a rename, and un-stub is surely deletable. I was sure that it had been on sfd in the past, but apparently not - that is about to be remedied. 08:53, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

22:52, 23 October 2005 (UTC) : We ve already got a Canada-school-stub and (well, had) a Canada-university-stub, so this really isn t necessary...

Badly named, uses . Also has the horrible redirect . Currently unused; I doubt there s that many non-geo Azerbaijan stubs... *There was a proposal on the WSS/P page for an , and there was an opinion that while that might not be useful, a would be. I d suggest that Azeri-stub should be deleted and caucasus-stub created, since the cultures and politics of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan overlap greatly (I can just see the edit wars over which template to put on a stub for someone from Nagorno-Karabakh now...). As to the ones listed here, Azeri is simply one of the races in Azerbaijan, so is a poor name. And as for the other two... urgh. 06:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC) **Whoops, the first link was supposed to be a category link; so there s only one bad redirect. But deleting this one and creating a caucasus-stub sounds good... -- 06:19, 26 October 2005 (UTC) *Rename/delete and recreate, as per. Delete , exceedingly. I know it s a redirect, and that it doesn t end in -stub, but as it s a redirect to a sub-template, we might as well deal with it, and since it s between mini-namespaces , it s in extreme need of deletion. 06:24, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Been around since May, but apparently not listed.

I like the bevity. 09:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC) ::no, quite the opposite. It is far better for everyone - especially editors - to have a logical full name, rather than have to remember different abbreviations for different stub templates, especially since those abbreviations can be ambiguous. That s why the 05:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC) *Keep. Environmental issues are a large body of knowledge and so a specific stub is needed. It may not have been used due to a lack of knowledge of it. I have noted its existence at 09:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC) *I m inclined to keep, too - with a rename as Aecis suggests (although I d suggest rather than ) - especially since there s a WikiProject. I would, however, suggest that it replaces rather than supplements the small - all the sustainability stubs could get the new template and then that category could go to SFD. 11:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC) :The should be a subset of . I hope to resurrect the . 04:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC) ::I m not - what I m suggesting is that the name Environment stubs is too wide a category - it would take in stubs that are better served any of a dozen or more stubs.

Created today, and used on 36 articles. Might get enough use to be worth keeping... -- 06:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC) :...many of those articles would, if anything, use a Valencia-geo-stub. This is probably in response to the Catalonia stub created last week (which was created with the specific instruction to keep the Spain-xxx-stub on geo and bio-stubs). Sigh. 07:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I know this is a bit of a surprise to me and since Grutness used it as an example when discussing the deletion of another stub, {Independance-stub}, it ll probably be a surprise to him as well. Probably ought to be made at least a redirect of if not the main stub. I m moving all the sociologist that use this to the new pending what we decide to do with this one. 22:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC) :To be honest I typed sociology-stub without thinking, alhough i meant socio-stub. Sociology-stub is probably a better name, really, but definitely one of them should redirect to the other. it s just a case of which to which 00:50, 28 October 2005 (UTC)|
