In the present work, we consider the stub lattice and study the impact of the dilution of FB eigenstates on superconductivity. Among the most remarkable results, it is revealed that the SFW can be boosted by the decimation of the FB eigenstates. In addition, it is shown that the widely used uniform pairing hypothesis systematically predicts the suppression of the SFW, appears misleading and qualitatively incorrect. With the great progress in nanotechnologies, we believe that our findings could be realised and tested experimentally in covalent organic frameworks or in decorated structures in which defects/vacancies/ad-atoms are created/deposited in a controlled manner and even in multilayered structures with intercalated atoms.
