message: Hello,
I merged the article into the MUN page and kind of started a new one about the "real" position paper. I'm not too sure about the stub category I chose. I just couldn't find any one that suited better.
Do you think it's too small for a stub?

message: Additional sources needed; context needs to be provided.
Past edits on this article have focused only on position papers (PPs) as related to the Model United Nations. Scope should be dramatically expanded to cover:
# general concept of PPs 
# categories of PPs such as political, scientific, corporate, academic, etc
# famous or infamous PPs (and significant events affected by them)
# relation of PPs to similar documents such as white papers
That should do for a start. -- Low Sea (talk) 06:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have removed the notability tag from the stub. It's a topic that obviously has plenty of independent reliable sources available and therefore there is no reasonable doubt as to the topic's notability. Vassyana (talk) 01:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clearly notable 

message: The lead sentence of the article currently says, "A position paper is an essay that presents an opinion about an issue, typically that of the author or another specified entity.". The final sentence currently says,"In government, a position paper lies somewhere between a white paper and a green paper in that they affirm definite opinions and propose solutions but may not go so far as detailing specific plans for implementation.
One UNA-USA guide currently cited in the article describes a position paper in that setting as "an essay detailing your country’s policies on the topics being discussed in your committee."
Some results of a google search for "position paper" "white paper" "green paper" show several cases of a white paper sparks one or more green papers, which then lead to a position paper.  
I suggest that the final sentence be stricken and that the lead sentence be redone as a short paragraph something like the following (please correct or tweak):
