Wikipedia:WikiProject Cornwall/Recently created stubs

This is a list of articles generated from Category:Cornwall articles missing geocoordinate data on 5 October 2011. It has been created to capture over 500 recently created geographical stubs by User:Dr. Blofeld from redlinks in List of places in Cornwall. Most of these consist of little more than a description that the place is "a village in Cornwall, England" (when in some cases the location can barely be described as a village) and are not very well referenced with "Google Maps" (sometimes Google doesn't even show the place). These need to be checked, improved and expanded where possible.

Another 270 articles added to list on 12 October 2011.

What needs to be done

 * Check that the location actually exists (at least on OS maps)
 * If the location is large/notable enough, expand the article
 * Consider making the article into a redirect to a nearby village/civil parish if the article would be too small or never have a chance to be expanded
 * Check that the location is actually a village (perhaps use a rough definition of having more than 100 inhabitants and at least one amenity)
 * If not, describe as a hamlet, or otherwise, and change the category from Category:Villages in Cornwall to Category:Hamlets in Cornwall
 * Add geocoordinates of the location
 * Rewrite location to read "in Cornwall, England, UK" as per the guideline
 * Ensure the article talk page has been tagged with and assess the article (invariably "Stub", "Low")
 * Add a better reference for the location, perhaps an OS map (see Sheviock for an example)
