On the topic of sub-stubs, this was discussed some weeks ago on the list, and I believe the general opinion was that there's no need for such sub-stubs.
It was certainly discussed, and I'm the one that brought it up, but I honestly don't think that any consensus was reached on them. If a deleted page's history is preserved and easily read, then I will certainly join the consensus to delete them (whereas before I was just being provocative to suggest it).
