It seems to be mainly the European ones that don't, for some reason.

I'm swayed towards the idea of using noun form for them all, simply because of the possible confusion between nationality and language (is an English school one in England, or one that teaches English? What about a Japanese school?) Whatever happens, there needs to be some kind of uniformity, so it's either change all of the countries to adjectival form or change them all to noun form. In either case, subnational regions should be left in the noun form and the UK and US ones should be at "United Kingdom" and "United States" (as is standard practice for stub types). The template matter is irrelevant, BTW, ''all'' stub templates should be in the noun form.

Category:Scottish school stubs → Category:Scotland school stubs
- Rename per naming conventions to match {{Scotland-school-stub}} and the other UK school stub categories. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Weak support, with extension to other possible similar categories. This one's a bit of a problem by the looks of it. A lot countries use the adjectival form for the categories ("Canadian school stubs", "Australian school stubs", etc) - the ratio's about 3 to 2 in favour of them. It seems to be mainly the European ones that don't, for some reason. I'd suggest either changing all the European (which are in Category:European school stubs, not Category:Europe schools stubs, note) and similar ones to the adjectival form or changing all of them to the noun form. I'm swayed towards the idea of using noun form for them all, simply because of the possible confusion between nationality and language (is an English school one in England, or one that teaches English? What about a Japanese school?) Whatever happens, there needs to be some kind of uniformity, so it's either change all of the countries to adjectival form or change them all to noun form. In either case, subnational regions should be left in the noun form and the UK and US ones should be at "United Kingdom" and "United States" (as is standard practice for stub types). The template matter is irrelevant, BTW, all stub templates should be in the noun form. Grutness...wha? 23:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose. No such convention; precedents highly mixed; proposed name is extremely clumsy and goes against all normal English usage and category naming. Alai (talk) 16:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
