Rename to more appropriate, and memorable, name. Mike Peel 11:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems sensible, especially given the possible ambiguity. Alai 01:54, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
sounds like a good idea to me, too. BTW, you original comment about this on a WSS talk page menttioned {{astro stub}} and {{Astronomy stub}}. Those two redirects should be deleted, since they don't adhere to the naming guidelines (I've marked them as such - neither is used, BTW). Grutness...wha? 05:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The latter of those I created, and have tagged for speedy deletion. The former was not created by me; I support its' deletion. Mike Peel 10:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had to think about this for a moment, but I support it. At first, I thought that the only other thing that "astro" could stand for was astrology, which I thought probably does not have its own stub template. Then I realized that "astro" could also stand for astronomer, which does have a stub template. The move therefore makes sense. Dr. Submillimeter 09:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There's quite a few meanings at astro, and there's also an existing Category:Astrogeology stubs type... fed from {{crater-stub}}, just to confuse matters. Alai 02:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rename. Definitely avoids confusion. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 14:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Current name is concise and on-target. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:41, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per Amalas Kamope | userpage | talk | contributions 12:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename makes sense to me. "Astro" brings to mind astronautics, rather than astronomy. — RJH (talk) 22:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename. Why not. Nick Mks 17:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
