Several new English football stub types
A new set of unproposed and misnamed stub types appeared today: and The last one is thin, at 50 stubs, and may need upmerging - and also needs renaming ("footyclub" is standard, not "footy-club")... the top three need both upmerging (the category has only some 30 stubs) and renaming to Foo-footyclub-stub, per stub standard naming. Grutness...wha?  08:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * NorthernCountiesEast-team-stub
 * NorthernLeague-team-stub
 * NorthWestCounties-team-stub - all feeding into
 * England-footy-club-season-stub (feeding )
 * Rename – I created the top three stub types as a gradual sorting of the stubs in the english football stubs category that had already started. I based them on five stub types that exist in as a northern premier league version of the same, so I assumed that as these ones were there that the process could continue to the other level 7–8 leagues (maybe an incorrect assumption i admit).
 * The season stub type was made as there were many season stub articles with football club stub tags, so I wanted to separated them out so that people would know they were football club season stubs instead. I support renaming to any naming conventions of which I was not previously aware. Delusion23 (talk) 09:36, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment – Just to say that if a stub category were made for the Midland Alliance the stub category for the northern premier league would have way over 60 articles in it. It now has 53 with the addition of the United Counties League team stubs (another league which feeds the NPL). The southern league category has already been brought over the 60 articles threshold with the addition of the United Counties League teams. This would be increased further with the Midland Alliance teams too. Delusion23 (talk) 09:55, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Mmmmm. I take it you mean a template for the Midland Alliance.... well, if so, then a category seems reasonable. Should still have been propose, though. As for the template naming, the Southern ones look very odd as well, so I'll nominate them for renaming, too. Grutness...wha?  02:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * comment/question. Is it a good idea to have stub templates by division? At first glance looks like teams are bound to promote or demote and change division, and thus change in the stub categorisation. Is there some other possible splitting criterion? Maybe geographical? - Nabla (talk) 12:07, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * May be a good idea. What do you have in mind? When I came across the Southern League ones I simply thought I may as well extend it to the Northern Premier League so I have no attachment to these stub types that I created. Whichever way is best to categorise them I'm happy with. So long as it's easy for me to go through them as I'm gradually trying to bring as many to start class as possible. Cheers.

 * Nothing, really... Only hoping for something more lasting, not terribly important though, as we do not expect stubs to last for years (yet, some do). Something like splitting by County FA, regardless of league level? The above templates look like that already, it is roughly by "set of counties", as in File:Levels_9–10_Football_League_areas_in_England.png. So, if it is possible to have a rule that is clear, which apparently is _not_ the case of the previous map, and of use for level 7-8 as much as _any_ other, I'd say it would be better. - Nabla (talk) 22:08, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose upmerging of England-footy-club-season-stub. There is a lack of explicit identification, but certainly not a lack of stubs. A significant proportion of the ~6,000 stubs here are on English football club seasons. —WFC— 06:10, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
