Note to archivers
When archiving stubs creations and discoveries, please check to ensure they are listed on
the stub type list. If they are not, please list them there when you archive their discussions.
The archives
A new page exists that is meant to assist in the preservation of information leading to the creation of stub-types:
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Criteria/Creations. Discussions from Archives 1-6 and 8 have been copied and edited to this page; editing consists of removing text that is not aimed at the rationale for creation, the usage guidelines for the stub-type, or the position in the stub hierarchy. This is meant as a reference page to assist in using existing stub-types and in creating new ones.
