Wikipedia:Stub Example

I believe this page is redundant to WP:STUB and Category:Stub categories. Delete. — _Maggot^Syn 10:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weakish delete per nom. An example might well be helpful within WP:STUB, but this separate page doesn't seem particularly useful. That said, I'm willing to change my mind if someone can suggest a good reason why this should be kept. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 11:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Unnecessary - there is already a more complete explanation of what a stub is at WP:STUB, which explains what a stub is far more comprehensively than this example of only one type of stub. As such, I don't see it as adding anything - in fact, it does the opposite, since it ignores many other types of articles which qualify as stubs (e.g., Ejura, List of Governors of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Czech migration to the United Kingdom - none of which look of stub size or meeting the deinition at Wikipedia:Stub Example, but all of which are composed almost entirely of lists and/or infoboxes, with little actual text - and are therefore stubs).

Redirect really, why are we bothering with MfDs for pages like this? -- Ned Scott 07:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment.I'd like to point out that we already have a redirect for Wikipedia:Stub example. Notice the e is in lower case. — _Maggot^Syn 10:14, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - redundant to WP:STUB, and as Grutness mentioned, not all stubs are one or two line articles. Redirection would serve little purpose as the page has no links (apart from within this MfD) and is an unlikely search term. People looking for examples of stubs will either go to WP:STUB or look through the stub categories. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 08:59, June 7, 2008 (UTC)

I assume that you all have no idea of what HUMOUR is. I created this page as an example of what a stub page is, following that abnormally long-winded essay wikipedia has about a stub. I felt that the best way to demonstrate a stub would be to put it right in front of the person. Plus, the only reason this page is not linked to is because the link was deleted from the WP:STUB page.

I believe we all know what humor is, but this is just not funny. The page was never marked as WP:HUMOR and if this was the reason it was created it would still be deleted. And also, WP:STUB did have a link to this page. — _Maggot^Syn 02:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rediect to WP:STUB. No need for deletion. It is even a useful redirect. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
