{{Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus-stub}} / Cat:Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus stubs[edit]

The result of the debate was delete

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.

Actually, 've just nopted that the earlier debate took place after the creation of TRNC-stub, which was then deleted. As such, this can be speedily deleted as a re-creation. Grutness...wha? 23:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, I am the creator of this template. At the date of creation, I was no aware of first template TRNC-stub and deletion process. I didnt aimed to create a new edit-rv war or any new dispute in wiki. Since there is a country-TRNC- (recognized or unrecognized no matter) and many stub articles related with this country, I wanted to collect these stubs in one category. Now, I am not insist to keep this template if community wiev is delete. Regards.Must ^TC 08:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An alternative method you could use (one used by some smaller wikiprojects) is to keep a subpage of your user page with a list of articles on it. Given the number of stub articles on TRNC that might actually be more useful to you, since you could note what is needed for each article on it as well.

Or, use a talk-page template of some kind. Conventionally, these are per-wikiproject, but at any rate there's less concern about multiply-tagging than there is in the article per se. Alai 23:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
