Noticed this one today - all the other RU bio-stub cats are in the form "Fooian..." - somehow this one slipped through without the "n" on the end. "Rename' to match the others.

Very oddly-named stub type (in terms of naming conventions for stub templates), which has no category link (not even a redlink), and was used on one article already correctly marked with {{
RMacedonia-geo-stub}}. Can't see any real purpose for this other than to confuse and conflate stubs which are already marked appropriately. If kept, it will need a major overhaul, but Deletion is a far better idea.

keep it because it points Macedonia as a whole not as divided. Vlatko ( talk) 13:49, 7 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Oookay. Vlatkoto - firstly, as already explained, the stub type is already covered by other stub types, and is not needed for that reason. If, however, you wish to consider it from the the political viewpoint, consider how many problems it is likely to cause as a stub type. Consider an analogy. for much of its recent history, Pakistan was part of British India. Once the region won its hard-fought-for independence from Britain, it engaged in a series of bloody wars with India, and even today there is only an uneasy peace between the two nations, and decidedly mixed feelings towards the UK. Consider if you were a Pakistani, how would you feel if someone created a {{ BritishIndia-stub}} template and added it to the article on your home town. Would you be likely to leave it there, or would you remove it? Would you feel inclined to leave a heated comment on the user page of the editor who had added the template? A similar problem exists here. As you are no doubt only too aware, the relationship between the Former Yugoslav Republic, Greece, and Bulgaria is not entirely friendly. The use of a template which attempts to indicate that the articles for the entire region belong together is not likely to do anything except engender edit wars and heated arguments. So the stub type isn't useful from the point of view of stub sorting, and would be detrimental to cooperation on Wikipedia in terms for its potential as an edit-war magnet.

An unproposed mishmash - mainly of of PRChina-hospital-stub and {{
China-university-stub}} articles and with a few culture-stub articles thrown in for good measure - using the ambiguous term "China" where the term PRChina is more appropriate ("China" is only used on stub template names where there's likely to be a clear bias towards pre-1949 subjects. In fact, {{
China-university-stub}} probably need renaming for this reason - sdee below). No other country has a specific health-stub subtype - the only such subtypes are related to specific topics of health study or concern (e.g.,
Cat:Dentistry stubs). I will note that there is currently no {{
PRChina-hospital-stub}} type - this should probably be rectified (and I'll propose same at
WP:WSS/P). Delete.

Given that we have a separate {{
Taiwan-university-stub}}, I'm not entirely sure why this template isn't at {{
PRChina-university-stub}}, as is usual for stub types relating primarily to the PRC. Propose renaming to {{
PRChina-university-stub}} and
Cat:People's Republic of China university stubs respectively.
