Me neither. The politicians and mayors, yes, but not the general bio types. They're probably better by nationality then profession. People move around way too much. Grutness...wha? 03:52, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Support - I am in favor of splitting biographies by subregion, and have wanted to do so with US states for some time. (I know this is controversial, but I think it would be quite useful.) Regardless, the politician and mayor stubs would be good. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:09, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure about these, I don't particularly like splitting bios by subregion. Waacstats (talk) 06:42, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Given that Category:Norwegian people stubs is very big (over 2 pages), and Category:Norwegian politician stubs currently needs to be split by century of birth in order not to be, I think that this will make things easier. Note also that we already have similar stub categorization in other sub-national level places, uch as the states of the United States and the provinces of Canada. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:27, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes to the politicians and mayors, no to the general bios. As WS says, we don't generally split standard bios by subnational region - far better to split them by profession unless there's a distinct tie to a location (as there usually is with politicians - constituencies, etc). People just move around far too much. Grutness...wha? 03:54, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Some good news and some bad news. I've just finished sorting the Ross Dependency stubs, and there were a lot of mis-stubbed articles, so it's down to around 900 stubs. This can easily be split into three roughly equal loads by making the following:

The bad news is that a lot of the stubs that were removed have gone into Category:Victoria Land geography stubs, which has now blown out to 1900 stubs. That's the last section of Antarctica to deal with. One section of it already looks worthwhile:

I have just sorted all of Graham Lands articles. Not just the stubs (though they make up 95% of the 1500 articles...) Graham Land is now comprehensively divided up into categories by landform and by its nine named coasts. But there are still 1360 stubs in Category:Graham Land geography stubs. So... stub types for the following three coasts will beat it down to a better size:

...leaving 700-odd stubs in the "rump" Graham Land category. That will mean that all of Antarctica except the messy Ross Dependency/Victoria Land area are at comfortable stub category sizes! Grutness...wha? 14:15, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Update - note that - because the main source used for the articles was the USGS guide (which ignores accents) - I've had to hastily change Fallieres to Fallières. The permcat is still at Category:Fallieres Coast, but I've put it up for CFR. Grutness...wha? 12:11, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Category:American mayor stubs, when the relevant stub tags are all created and in use, will have (based on current scans) a total of 780 articles and 40 stub tags (in addition to 10 subcats - including Virginia and Wisconson).

Category:Ottoman Empire stubs has almost 400 articles, and some half of them (all these Pashas etc) are biographical articles. Given how the coverage of Ottoman-related articles is still low and most of the new ones are stubs, both numbers are likely to rise much further. Constantine ✍ 11:59, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Support - I think this works. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:13, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

This would pick up the 549 articles in Category:Beetle stubs currently there via {{Buprestidae-stub}}. Is this a speedy? -GTBacchus(talk) 00:46, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Support - I think it is, yes. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:10, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Support speedy. However, it sure would have been nice if whoever tagged the stubs into the family would have also changed the category. Most of these are perm catted at the superfamily level, with only 23 in the permcat. Dawynn (talk) 22:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Question I changed a lot of these from {{Beetle-stub}} to {{Buprestidae-stub}}, but I don't understand most of what you said. What do you mean by "permcat"? It was my impression that the template was created in order to tag things and then create the category once there were enough of them. Is that not right? -GTBacchus(talk) 00:30, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
I think I figured it out. Permcat means the ordinary kind of category, not the stub one, and you're saying that a lot of those pages are in Category:Buprestoidea. I see that now. Hmm. -GTBacchus(talk) 00:32, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes, sorry. "Permcat" is a stub-sorting project term. In this case, Category:Buprestidae and Category:Buprestoidea are perm(anent)-cat(egorie)s. With these taxonomy categories, if there's enough reason to have a stub category (that is, sufficient articles), then there's probably reason enough to have an accompanying permanent category with the same (and hopefully more!) articles as the stub category. Dawynn (talk) 02:26, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
After reading through my earlier post, I can see much room for confusion. Again, my apologies. As you deduced, I was just wishing that the Buprestidae articles had been moved into Category:Buprestidae instead of continuing to sit in Category:Buprestoidea. As far as following the guidelines of the stub-sorting project, you've done everything right in this case, as far as I can see. Dawynn (talk) 02:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Someone has recently been creating a lot of short articles relating to seasons in European hockey. I'm not sure how many off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are enough to warrant creating a stub tag and category. Speaking of which, this weekend I'm going to start trying to work on the European hockey team stubs - there's potential room for some work there. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:22, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

The result of the debate was proceed with caution.

A proposal, but for a change, something other than a stub type. I'm putting it here because it's more likely to get actioned here than a simple comment on the talk page. {{Stub}}'s talk page starts with two very useful templates - {{WikiProject Stub sorting}} and {{WPSS-talk}}, which read:

" This {{pagetype}} is maintained by WikiProject Stub sorting, an attempt to bring some sort of order to Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can choose to improve/expand the articles containing this stub notice, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks."

and

"Most of the discussion relating to this and other stub categories occurs at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting. You may wish to consider leaving a note there rather than here."

How often have we seen, at WP:SFD or elsewhere, someone say "this was discussed on the category's talk page"? I think it would be a very good idea if a bot could be used to put these on the talk page of every stub template and category, preferably run regularly so that we ensure it's on all new stub types too.

Any thoughts? Grutness...wha? 07:52, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

This isn't a bad idea - I think it would be a great help. Doesn't even need to be a separate bot - AWB can probably do it just as well. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm for it. Just be careful with the bot. Not everything that has 'stub' in the name has to do with our project. For instance, Category:Steubenville Stubs players keeps showing up in several of our lists of all stub categories, even though it has nothing to do with our project. Evidently, the Steubenville Stubs were some kind of baseball team back in the early 1900's or so. This category should not be tagged with any WPSS-related templates. (At this time, this and Category:WikiProject Motorcycling stubs are the only non-WPSS "stub" categories that I'm aware of). May have to somehow blacklist such specific instances to make the bot ignore them. Dawynn (talk) 23:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Finally got this continent just about sorted, though - there are only five categories of Antarctica geo-stubs with over 800 stubs, and of those only two have over 1200: Ross Dependency (1600) and Graham Land (1700). The following should hopefully reduce them considerably:

Two of the other three over-large categories (Victoria Land and Queen Maud Land, about 1150 each) aren't easy to split, but South Shetland geography stubs (currently 1020 stubs) can be easily subdivided:

...should each remove about 300 stubs from it. With any luck, that will be just about it for Antarctica, unless I can work out some other Graham Land split! Grutness...wha? 12:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Support. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Congrats on getting these down to size. I think anyone who can get the Antarctica cats down to this level can do anything in stub sorting, next stop sorting out Category:Main Belt asteroid stubs ? Waacstats (talk) 13:16, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
I've left that one for you, WS ;) Next stop for me will be a short wikibreak. Grutness...wha? 01:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Update - the Edward VII one isn't going to be particularly useful (only about 40 stubs), so it's not really worthwhile. Grutness...wha? 08:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

With this proposal, every nation of at least 150,000 people will have an approved {{foo-sport-stub}} and {{foo-sport-bio-stub}}. Just in case its decided that its unnecessary for smaller nations, I've broken it down a bit by population. :

A few more Antarctica stub types. Just about got East Antarctica licked now (it tastes icy). These three should clear the bulk of what's left:

Grutness...wha? 11:09, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Ach - to hell with it. Add in the final few to complete East Antarctica - these will probably remain upmerged, but they might as well go in for completion:
The last one is a problem. Believe it or not, there doesn't seem to be any name for the wedge of Antarctica between about 35° and 80°W further south than the base of the Antarctic Peninsula. Most of it is covered by the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, though, so this seems the most appropriate name.
I also made {{AdelaideIsland-geo-stub}} as a redirect to the Graham Land template, thinking it might get enough to be useful. IThere are over 100 stubs marked with it, so I'd like to turn that into a full template and category.
If all of these are done, everywhere on the Big Ice will have a specific subtype of East or West Antarctica. There may still be one or two very large sections that will need paring down (Graham Land is likely to have a couple of thousand stubs) but other than that, this will be just about it. Grutness...wha? 11:40, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Support the whole thing. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:54, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Propose speedy approval of the following:

Note that all of these either already have, or can support, a valid sportspeople sub-category. Dawynn (talk) 13:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Support each and every one. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Support all, with two minor tweaks I'd change that "Dominican" category to "Dominican Republic" if I were you, and it's probably better to stick with "Trinidad and Tobago" rather than having one category at "Trinidadian". Grutness...wha? 11:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, Grutness. Corrections made to proposal. Will build new templates and categories when time permits. Dawynn (talk) 16:30, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Just a thought for discussion rather than a firm proposal - is it would having stub templates for mayors for each of the US's states, as subtypes of the politician stubs? The thought came to me while SFD'ing a Montclair-politician-stub which we seem to have inherited. Would a NewJersey-mayor-stub, for mayors of cities/boroughs/towns in New Jersey be useful, and the same for the other states? Grutness...wha? 00:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Support. We have precedent (Category:New York mayor stubs) and permcats (subcategories of Category:Mayors of places in the United States). Dawynn (talk) 01:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Support. In fact, I believe we already do this for some states (CF Category:California mayor stubs). --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
A scan shows that we have for California, Massachusetts and New York. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:34, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
And a different scan confirms that there are plently of articles in the Category:Mayors of places in New Jersey category tree to justfy a stub category. Not all of the states, though - Alabama has only 26. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:51, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
