Category:Zimbabwean ethnic group stubs

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

Was populated (in heavy quotes, with all of two articles) by {{Zimbabwe-ethno-group-stub}} which fed into three categories. Two of those made sense, i.e. the the double-upmerged ones. This one doesn't, on size and redundancy grounds (hence I've already recatted the template). Delete this, keep the upmerged template. Alai 21:28, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename, delete

Unproposed, unused, and above all, unnecessary. Also ambiguously named templates and misnamed and miscapitalised categories. Let's start with the templates: is "math-comp" for mathematical computation, computers, or competitions? With the categories, why the capital C and why competitions not competition? Also, why the second category, given that there is no permcat equivalent of Category:Mathematics competition biographies? Given that there appears to be a wikiproject, one stub template is probably reasonable (if it is properly named and iff it can reach the 30-stub threshold), but two is pushing it, especially since the equivalent permcat Category:Mathematics competitions has fewer than 90 articles in total, stub or otherwise. Rename the first type to {{Math-competition-stub}}/Category:Mathematics competition stubs (upmerge if size appears to be a problem); delete the second type, and use the first template, double-stubbed with {{Mathematician-stub}}.

Rename and delete, respectively-After listening to the reasons, I will agree with this. Temperal^xy 01:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
