I have no complaint about the Opera singer stubs category, and the larger national categories that have been registered under it. However, someone has recently been creating new national categories without any proposal, and most of these are appallingly small.

I don't see a proposal for the following small categories. I'd suggest deleting the categories for now, but keeping the templates to upmerge to Category:Opera singer stubs, until these actually reach a reasonable size:

The following also were not requested. Although larger, they still don't fit the 60 article minimum. Should these also be converted back to upmerged templates?

Support according to proposal. --Kslotte (talk) 17:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Only the template exists under this category. Not sure why it was built. Indicates it's for articles about encryption. The main category for that article is Category:Cryptography. There is already a Category:Cryptography stubs. Might I suggest a redirect to Category:Cryptography stubs? Dawynn (talk) 12:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge seems to have been done. Delete or redirect left. I propose delete. --Kslotte (talk) 17:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Only the template exists under this category. Main category (Category:Universities and colleges in Algeria) only has one article. I suggest deleting the category for now, but we can keep the template as an upmerge for Category:Africa university stubs. Dawynn (talk) 12:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No associated category created with it. Oddly, currently filtering into Category:English cricket biography stubs. Not entirely convinced this is necessary – there are currently only 22 Afghan players who would pass WP:CRIN, which is an application of WP:ATHLETE to the cricketing world, and WP:GNG. May not hurt to leave it as a stub template that upmerges in to Category:Cricket biography stubs, though. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 22:47, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I didn't realise these templates were meant to go through a process to be created, and I also didn't notice I hadn't changed English to Afghan! Which is probably a good reason for me not to have created it in the first place.. There are likely to be more Afghan cricketers passing CRIN in the next few years (I suspect there are already more than 22, once first-class players are included, though I'm not sure about that.)

Given there are likely to be more, and the set up at Category:Cricket biography stubs; I'd also propose the creation of Category:Afghan cricket biography stubs. If not, then for the time being, an upmerge would suffice, along with Category:Afghan people stubs. Harrias talk 07:21, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:Cricket biography stubs and Category:Afghan people stubs atleast until we get 60. Waacstats (talk) 14:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No stub template. Looks like parent Category:Anglican cathedrals may have enough (72 articles came up in my initial query, but not all may rank as "stubs") for a category. Only 8 articles in this category right now. Existing approved stub category Category:Anglican church stubs is about mid-sized (315 articles). I would personally opt for closing down this category and moving the articles found here to Category:Anglican church stubs. Dawynn (talk) 01:46, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

although we have a similar category for RC i think this would be better upmerged to anglican church stubs if we had a template. As it is delete. Waacstats (talk) 15:00, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
