- Agree. -Kbdank71 20:44, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Agree.--CDN99 21:13, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)- Oppose: Economics and finance stubs for the reasons below. --CDN99 15:34, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Should it be Category:Economics stubs instead? -Aranel ("Sarah") 01:49, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Neutral May not really matter a lot. doles 03:34, 2005 Mar 7 (UTC)
- I'm quite puzzled by this. I'd find it very odd if someone said "I study economy" as I've always thought of the academic field as "economics," e.g. "I study economics." Hence, Economy stubs would be short articles along the lines of Economy of South Africa, while Economics stubs would be short articles along the lines of Government spending. Is this some sort of British English thing? - RedWordSmith 05:33, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Just be explicit, I also like Economics and finance stubs as suggested below. - RedWordSmith 18:25, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose - basically I agree with Aranel and RedWordSmith's comments. While there are some finance related articles in there (correctly if you look at the template), most of the articles currently in this category are about things related to Economics - the social science. IMO the phrase on the category page needs to be changed to "...stub articles relating to Economics...", at the moment it says "...relating to Economy..." and Economy just points to a disambig. page. I also think the template text should be changed to economics rather than economy as well, I'll do it if that's what ppl decide. I would support a renaming to "Economics stubs" or "Economics and Finance stubs". -- Lochaber 13:39, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- change to Economics and finance, for all the reasons given above. Grutness|hello?
22:17, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC) - strongly oppose for reasons outlined by RedWordSmith, , Grutness's suggestion of Economics and finance is a much better change - if it needs to be changed at all. the word economics includes everything economy does, plus more such as economics theory that would not be covered by economy.

I changed the template to Category:Economics and finance stubs and changed the descriptions. "Let the bits fall where they may." -- Beland 14:46, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
