The result of the debate was rename cats
As recently pointed out here in another discussion, we have numerous US city-specific stub categories that do not match their permcat parents, many of which have recently been renamed at CFD. Cat:Chicago stubs, for instance, should have its state named to match Cat:Chicago, Illinois. As such, i'd like to propose the following renames:
- Cat:Atlanta stubs → Cat:Atlanta, Georgia stubs
- Cat:Chicago stubs → Cat:Chicago, Illinois stubs
- Cat:Denver stubs → Cat:Denver, Colorado stubs
- Cat:Indianapolis stubs → Cat:Indianapolis, Indiana stubs
- Cat:Los Angeles stubs → Cat:Los Angeles, California stubs
- Cat:New Orleans stubs → Cat:New Orleans, Louisiana stubs
- Cat:San Francisco stubs → Cat:San Francisco, California stubs

- Rename to match parents. Caerwine Caer’s whines 03:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC) reply
- This seems like a futile exercise in rampant over-disambiguation. To take but one:
Atlanta is a redirect to an article that does not even use "Atlanta, Georgia" as its bold title, and
Cat:Atlanta, Georgia contains numerous subcats that don't have the state "qualification". Nor does the proposed use of a comma-separated compound as an attributive read especially well.

- Given that we're trying to follow the permcats, wouldn't those arguments be better addressed at CFD? In any case bolded wording in an article is a bit of a red herring when the article itself is at Atlanta, Georgia. As for the comma for an attributive, we already use that form for numerous other stubcats (e.g., Cat:Austin, Texas stubs). Grutness... wha? 01:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC) reply

We also have a completely unused {{ jacksonville-stub}}/ Cat:Jacksonville, Florida stubs. Since its empty, it should probably be deleted. There is a WikiProject jacksonville, but they look like they've started using a banner template instead. Grutness... wha? 02:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC) reply
