49 articles, no growth since February 2007, and the category would need renaming anyway. Upmerge for now to Category:Asian television stubs. Her Pegship (tis herself) 17:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi there! In regards to your comment on the WP:SFD page, about Taiwan-tv-stub and ethics-stub, the proposal is to keep the templates and delete the categories for now. Does your comment support the proposal, or is your preference to keep both the templates and the categories? Thanks for clarifying - Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I support keeping both the categories and the stub templates, as no justification for their deletion has been offered. The mere fact that a category has a small number of articles does not justify its deletion. John254 23:30, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The justification is that, by stub sorting standards, it's not efficient to have a stub category with fewer than 60 or so articles (although if there's a WikiProject associated with a stub type, 30+ will do). There's a different standard for stub categories than for "regular" categories. If we keep the templates, and they end up on more than 60 items, the categories will be created in due time. Would that compromise be acceptable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pegship (talk • contribs) 03:07, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I fail to see how the number of articles in a stub category affects the efficiency of stub sorting at all. The stub templates include the associated categories, and add articles to the categories automatically when they are transcluded. No extra work is required for categorization.

- It's not a matter of efficiency of the sorting (though over-sorting is potentially excess work, no-one is likely to care if it's someone else doing said work), but of sorting in such a way as to produce stub categories in a size range thought to produce a reasonable turnover of stub-expansion (i.e., not so many that individual articles are swamped, not so many that a tiny category languishes in obscurity with no-one visiting it. See WP:STUB#numerosity for the guestimate as to the sweet-spot. Alai 04:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Now 64 articles. Talk to ► Kevin 05:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
