What follows is the discussion as it was occurring at
WP:TFD - it is quite clear from some of the discussion that the people commenting were unsure of stub guidelines as regards disputed territories, which is that they should not have stubs. Furthermore, no discussion had taken place as regards the category which this template fed into, and as such, there could be a horrible refactoring of discussion if it was added in at this stage.

Yes, there is a WikiProject, but no, there are not the required 30 stubs.

Basically, this is a copy of TRNC-stub, which was proposed and rejected in September (debate
here. We do not split stub types by countries/regions that are disputed to the point of being only internationally recognised by one or two countries, for reasons of POV and potential accusations of bias. As such, similar stub types have been deleted in the past for places such as Transnistria and Kurdistan. To make matters worse, the stub template is very poorly named as regards stub
naming guidelines, so even if it were to be kept it would need to be renamed. If that wasn't enough, this contains five stubs, of which four are actually cyprus-geo-stubs (Cyprus-X-stubs referring as they do to the entire island), so shouldn't be in a non geo-stub category anyway. Delete

That's not a "silly" policy at all. The purpose of that policy is to avoid hindering Wikipedia's progress. It helps avoid members like yourself to game the system. Kingjeff 19:26, 22 November 2006 (UTC) reply

The result of the debate was move/rename
To follow the permcat. Move template, keeping redirect, and rename category.

Basically, this is a copy of TRNC-stub, which was proposed and rejected in September (debate
here. We do not split stub types by countries/regions that are disputed to the point of being only internationally recognised by one or two countries, for reasons of POV and potential accusations of bias. As such, similar stub types have been deleted in the past for places such as Transnistria and Kurdistan. To make matters worse, the stub template is very poorly named as regards stub
naming guidelines, so even if it were to be kept it would need to be renamed. If that wasn't enough, this contains five stubs, of which four are actually cyprus-geo-stubs (Cyprus-X-stubs referring as they do to the entire island), so shouldn't be in a non geo-stub category anyway. Delete

Simple rename to match the usual capitalization rules and its non-stub parent
Cat:Sport wrestlers.

Bewilderingly titled stub template for... guess. No? This
Red Bull Air Race World Series related article is a
stub.. No category (it feeds directly into
Cat:Stubs. No articles, either. Mind you, when you consider that
Cat:Red Bull Air Race World Series and its one subcat between them have only five articles (and four of them are biographies), and only two of them could be accurately dewscribed as stubs, it's not really suprising. Delete!

I've added the category mentioned above. No parent listed, stub or otherwise, only one stub article and that's a bio-stub. The creation of the category simply doubles the number of recommended deletions. Grutness... wha? 12:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC) reply

It's been awhile and it seems that this hasn't been sorted out yet. Here's what I see:
So, basically, opinions are all over the place. Based on this, my personal suggestion would be to go with a WikiProject talk page template to track these stubs and other articles related to the project. That would allow for easy tracking for the WikiProject as well as keep POV out of stub categories. If there are any more opinions, please let me know. Thanks. ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 18:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Need I say more? Okay, I will. Used on two of the (seemingly) only four articles on Teletubbies on wikipedia. There is no
Cat:Teletubbies, but that's presumably okay because this stub template doesn't have a dedicated category either - it's got no category at all in fact. Not to mention the space-ridden name. Never prposed, funnily enough. if it had been, I don't think we'd have had such a template. Delete.

Consistent with naming guidelines. The rest of the cats in the parent are in the format "Xian history stubs" -

See the
related proposal. These 2 cats are too small and their templates will be upmerged.

From
WP:WSS/D. I'm not sure if this is the right way to go. The articles should probably be resorted into things like {{
US-business-bio-stub}} or {{
software-stub}} or whatever. (As a side note, the category creator's user page is full-protected, so I was unable to notify)

From
WP:WSS/D. Unnecessary split of items already covered by
Cat:London geography stubs. Certainly not a county, which is how England is split geographically - never proposed, and with only nine stubs (5 railstation-stubs, 3 struct-stubs and one genuine geo-stub). Not to mention the frankly ridiculously ambiguous template name (have you checked
Richmond?). Delete.
