November 30[edit]

{{Youtube-videos-stub}} (redlinked)[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was delete

Incorrectly named, redlinked, and unproposed, not to mention the fact that the usefulness of this is questionable, to say the least. If kept, it would need to be upmewrged and renamed to the naming-compliant {{YouTube-video-stub}}, but given that most youTube video articles are speedily deleted, the rationale behind having such a template is wanting. Delete. Grutness...wha? 00:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete in favor of the broader Cat:Internet publication stubs. Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:18, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Unlikely to have a significant population. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:18, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; this presupposes that Wikipedia should have articles on Youtube videos, which it assuredly should not. Stifle (talk) 10:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I doubt any youtube video would warrant an article except for one on which dozens of sources already exist. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 18:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Created by the same person as the YouTube one above, and perhaps marginally more useful, though it too is redlinked, unproposed, and faces the same problems of populability (again, most internet memes are deletable, the few remaining are usually quickly written up beyond stub size). if kept, it would need upmerging, but Deleteion seems preferable. Grutness...wha? 00:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as too ephemeral by nature. Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; internet memes should generally not be on Wikipedia anyway and if they're notable enough, they quickly cease to be stubs. Stifle (talk) 10:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Europe" subtypes renaming[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was no consensus

Per the 22 other subtypes of Cat:Europe stubs that use the form "European" (not counting the 'original usage' case of "European Union"), and well, the English language. Alai (talk) 06:36, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very strong oppose to Universities, since the premcats are of the form "Universities in Noun", as are all the other stub cats - if you change the Europe one, it'll be the only one of about 35 university stubs categories not to use a noun form; ditto Political parties (which is already listed below - listing it twice in two days is overkill, I'd say). As for rail, we don't follow permcats at all with this one. Theoretically it should be Cat:Europe rail transport stubs, since the permcat is at Cat:Rail transport in Europe. Grutness...wha? 22:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I plan on nominating the rest of the universities immediately afterwards, so don't let that concern you too much. Or I'll do so immediately, if you want to be having the same conversation and/or dialogue of the deaf in yet another location. And on the parties: so, they're already in hand, so the objection hardly has even that much standing. I had missed that there was a Europe-level perm-parent for the rails -- typically there isn't, the continents are just there for our "lumping" purposes as a rule, so I thought that we might see a brief respite from the "follow the permcat" argument. OK, let's go with Cat:European rail transport stubs, then. This "theory" seems to be entirely your own. It's not part of the naming guidelines, it's not followed on the ground, recent creations and renaming and particular have not followed the "standard" you claim, and unless I'm entirely misrembering, you yourself have supported such. Like I say, there are 22 subtypes at "European" -- you telling me that those are all counter-consensual rogue operations? Alai (talk) 04:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
