Template:CfD RETAIN

MOS:RETAIN does not apply outside mainspace. It is a last-resort instruction to prefer the choice, between multiple acceptable styles, that was used in the first non-stub version of it, when there is no clear consensus on which should be used. By design, RETAIN specifically apply across sets of articles (i.e. categories). It prevents forcing arbitrary consistency across the titles and content of multiple articles. Such consistency is generally in a category naming schema. Not all article rules apply to categories, or vice versa. (And there is no such thing as a stub vs. Start-class-or-better version of a category.) RETAIN is often confused with MOS:STRONGNAT (a.k.a. MOS:TIES), an actual rationale to prefer one English variety over another when there are strong national ties. If meant to make that argument, they should clarify their statement. < !--Template:CfD RETAIN- ->
