Because of this discussion I've done a mass CFD nomination at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_25#Luxembourgian_people suggesting a standardization on Luxembourgian. Assuming that the CFD goes as I've proposed, rename the stub category to match the new name of the parent permcat. Caerwine Caer’s whines 19:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To reflect change of scope implied by un-upmerging the 60s and 70s templates. Alai 18:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename to BluegrassKY-stub; upmerge to Kentucky stubs


Excessively cryptic. Possibly an upmerged {{Kentucky-Bluegrass-geo-stub}} or {{BluegrassKY-geo-stub}} since most of these are geo stubs and there is an associated WikiProject altho without the Wikiproject this is not large enough to warrant a stub type. Also ameniable to a {{Kentucky-Bluegrass-stub}} or {{BluegrassKY-stub}} on the same basis. Caerwine Caer’s whines 01:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Something must be done per nom. Alai 02:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either rename template and upmerge, or rename cat to Cat:British Rail stubs, since, going by BR... um, no, that seems to be a dab page. Just rename/upmerge, then. Be very careful with the naming, though - for most of the world Bluegrass only means a form of music, so it could cause some confusion. Grutness...wha? 05:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closing note: I chose {{BluegrassKY-stub}} because it seems the WikiProject encompasses more than just geo articles. Also, this would be similar to things like GeorgiaUS-blah-stub. ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 15:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete


Never proposed and highly unlikely to reach threshold. There is little here that a Scotland-stub or an appropriate hist-stub, org-stub, or lang-stub wouldn't cover just as well. No such permcat as Cat:Scottish Gaelic, either. Delete. Grutness...wha? 00:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Considering that Scottish Gaelic is only the 4th most used Gaelic language (Irish, Welsh, and Breton all claim more speakers) and only the third most used language in Scotland (after English and Scots), there's definitely a mismatch here between the template and the category. Delete per Grutness. Caerwine Caer’s whines 01:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Welsh and Breton are Brythonic languages, not Gaelic (or even Goidelic); Irish is rarely called "Gaelic" in English, whereas Scottish Gaelic frequently is; English and Scots are both dialects of the same language. But Gaelic is still somewhat ambiguous, and it seems much too narrow, so indeed, delete. Alai 02:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Don't forget Manx, either... Grutness...wha? 06:37, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename & change wording to be more inclusive


Never proposed, but at least it's well populated. It has several problems, though: 1) The template should be {{UK-boxing-bio-stub}}; 2) The category should be Cat:United Kingdom boxing biography stubs (pace Alai - this comment is based entirely on the current standard stub category naming scheme); 3) The template states that it is for boxers, whereas it should actually be for anyone associated with the sport, including trainers and managers. As such, I suggest renaming both, and not keeping the "British" template as a redirect. Grutness...wha? 00:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • As the template and category creator, I have no problem with renaming -- I didn't realize that either needed to be proposed (sorry!), but thought that having a separate category for UK boxers made logical sense, due to the popularity of boxing in the UK, and UK boxing's crossover appeal to the US, as well as the number of historical figures in boxing from the UK. I would, though, recommend keeping the "British" template as a redirect, at least temporarily, until the British-tagged biographies could be shifted over into a UK-named category, sort of how the category "Living People" (as opposed to the correct category of "Living people") is handled now. My apologies for the confusion! --Tthaas 02:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename, per nom. Weak preference for the more inclusive scope, can live with either. Tthaas, don't worry about the shifting over, it can readily be done by 'bot. (And you're right, this type does make perfect sense, I doubt anyone'll object in principle.) Alai 02:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whew, a load off my mind! One stupid question -- should I keep categorizing British boxers, and if so, should I do it with the {{British-boxing-bio-stub}} tag (my gut says yes, if it's going to be changed by 'bot anyhow, but I'd rather ask than commit another faux pas)?--Tthaas 02:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Tthaas - please note that my nomination was for renaming, not deleting. I agree that it is almost certainly a useful category, though renaming it to UK and changing the wording to allow for the inclusion of coaches, trainers, etc is more in line with other similar categories (have a look at the wording of {{Boxing-bio-stub}}).
