[edit] June 3[edit] {{London river stub}}Unproposed, and a problem on several counts. It defies naming conventions, and worse, it isn't "what it says on the can". This is not a stub type for rivers in london, it's for London River Services. Given that there are only some 20 unsubcatted items in Cat:London Transport stubs and only 33 items in Cat:London River Services as a whole, this seems thoroughly unnecessary. If kept, this will need upmerging as well as a change of name (possibly to {{LondonRiverServices-stub}} or similar), but as it stands it doesn't seem worth having at all - delete. Grutness...wha? 05:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC) [edit] June 5[edit] {{E.tiaratum-stub}}
The result of the debate was Delete A textbook example of an unproposed and overspecialised stub type. Stubs by family or even genus may be acceptable, but stub types for an individual species? Consider two questions: a) howe many articles could be stubbed with this? b) How many stub types would this form a precedent to, in terms of stub types for individual species? As it is, this ewas used on one article, probably the only one it could ever be used on (one which was also happily stubbed with two adequate stub templates). It also has no category link, which, in a way, is just as well, since it's one less thing to consider deleting. Grutness...wha? 01:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC).
[edit] Cat:Pittidae stubs
The result of the debate was upmerge An upmerger candidate, per discussion at WSS/D. Unlikely to get close to 60 stubs any time soon, though the template is fine as an upmerged type, per similar precedents. Grutness...wha? 01:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] June 6[edit] {{User:Willisis2/football_stub}} / Cat:Football player stubs
The result of the debate was delete Need I say more? Oh, all right. We don't have user-specific stub types (imagine trying to patrol stub types if every user had their own specific stub templates! Aaargh!). We don't use ambiguous terms like "football" for specific sports - it explains why on the "proper" {{Football-stub}}. The template and category have names that do not indicate their relationship. Even if we igore that it's a user template, the name "Football stub" is against stub naming conventions. And in any case, we already have a host of established stubs for soccer players. All of thse are reasons why these should be deleted. Grutness...wha? 01:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] June 7[edit] {{2000s-emo-album-stub}}
The result of the debate was delete Unproposed, unused, and pretty much unusable in its current form anyway. If kept it will need a serious overhaul (and a category) to makee it useful, but I suspect that deletion may be the better option. Grutness...wha? 02:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] June 19
The result of the debate was delete cat, upmerge template. Note - it appears that neither cat nor template had an sfd notice on them... please be careful when nominating! [edit] {{Phenol-stub}} / Phenol stubsPer this discussion at Discoveries, this has only been used on 4 items for over a year. Permcat has 159 articles; Cat:Aromatic compound stubs (its next higher stubcat) has 77 articles, so I don't think this one is needed too badly. I propose we delete the category and either delete or upmerge the template. Her Pegship (tis herself) 19:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Several Cape Cod stub types
The result of the debate was delete
All bar one are redlinked, and most would in any case, fail threshold even if this was a sensible split (which it isn't). There is a new Wikipedia:WikiProject Cape Cod, the creators of which clearly didn't read {{Wikiproject}} or WP:STUB - a single talk-page banner template would be far more useful to them than a multitude of low-use stub templates. Delete all. Grutness...wha? 02:25, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] June 26[edit] {{Lauenburg-geo-stub}} / Category:Lauenburg district geography stubs
The result of the debate was rename per nom
An archaic English name of the city is "Lauenburg on the Elbe", but that is rarely used. As far as I can tell, the district website always uses "Herzogtum Lauenburg" or the Kreis when discussing the modern entity. In contrast, the websites for Virginia and Lübeck use the shortened names as common usage. Olessi (talk) 12:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC) I scanned the websites of a few German newspapers (Kieler Nachrichten, Lübecker Nachrichten, Hamburger Abendblatt, Die Welt), and they overwhelmingly use "Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg" and not "Kreis Lauenburg" to refer to the district. The English translation of the name would be "Duchy of Lauenburg District", but that is not actually used in English, and the aforementioned WikiProject only encourages translations for city names with widely accepted English names. The historical state was the Duchy of (Saxe)-Lauenburg, while the modern district is "Herzogtum Lauenburg". Olessi (talk) 15:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Good catch. The other district in question was de:Landkreis Lauenburg i. Pom., for those interested. Olessi (talk) 18:49, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Practically all districts in German begin with Kreis/Landkreis, but that system is not used on the English WP; instead we only include "district" in the article title for disambiguation purposes and in the manner "Foo (district)". Compare, for instance Uckermark (region) & Uckermark (district) / Oberspreewald-Lausitz (no corresponding main article) / Kamenz (city) & Kamenz (district). The German phrase "Herzogtum Lauenburg" is probably not going to be used in the search box to find the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg on the English Wikipedia, so the district is fine at Herzogtum Lauenburg; a hatnote at the beginning of the article mentions the duchy.

[edit] wonky US-company-stub redirects
The result of the debate was delete Third time wasn't the charm: {{UnitedStates-company-stub}} would have been technically correct, but needlessly multiplying entities. Two usages between the three. Delete as non-NG. Alai (talk) 19:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
