April 30[edit]
{{Casino-videogame-stub}} / Cat:Casino video games stubs[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 upmerge
Unproposed; misnamed (pluralised) category is very small and has no stubcat parents. Given that the permcat parent has only 15 articles, this is not liukely to come close to the threshold for a separate stub category, and since there are fewer than 200 unsubcategorised video game stubs there is no need for a further split at the moment. Delete the category, no opinion as to whether upmerge orr delete would be the better option for the template. Grutness...wha? 03:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I was unaware of policy. I'm all for some kind of merge here, so long as it makes sense. Lifeisrill (talk) 07:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Upmerge until it grows up. Her Pegship (tis herself) 02:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{Life-simulation-game-stub}} / Cat:Life simulation game stubs[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 rename template
As above, created by the same editor. A bit larger, and with more potential, though the category is still only about 40 stubs and the apparent (but unlisted) parent stubcat (Cat:Simulation video game stubs) is hardly oversized. Delete the category, upmerge the template - and perhaps rename it to {{Life-simulation-videogame-stub}} to reflect its contents. Grutness...wha? 03:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep I know it's only at about 40 articles, but give it time. There's a substantial amount of life simulation games out there and a lot of stubs. I wouldn't consider "simulation video game" to be a parent either. It's complicated, but let's just say that the simulation game category is full of all kinds of games making it impossible for most editors to work through them. You have first person shooters, card games, and sports games thrown in there simply because they have some element of realism. Drawing out life simulation games creates a more manageable stub class because all the stubs actually have some relationship to one another. Lifeisrill (talk) 07:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename; it's now up to 65 articles. Her Pegship (tis herself) 02:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Its picture(a video game controller) clearly means that its video games. It has some membership, so we shouldn't delete it. The only thing I'm surprised about is that only two Sims games are in it. :) DA PIE EATER (talk) 01:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
