Split of
Indiana's story is similar to Illinois. Formally request asking approval for the Indiana templates already created by county. Templates names follow this pattern: Template:FooIN-geo-stub. Dawynn (talk) 02:12, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Split of
I can find references to approvals for some of the various regional Illinois geography splits. However, I do not see a request for a split by county. So, here is a formal request asking for approval for the Illinois templates already created by county. Templates names follow this pattern: Template:FooIL-geo-stub.

Various Afghanistan templates
From the list of templates to vet: I don't see requests for any of these, but I don't see any problem with them either. Propose keeping all. Dawynn (talk) 12:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Gloucestershire-geo-stub / GloucesterShire-geo-stub
Yes, these two are identically named, with the exception of the capital 'S'. While Wikipedia can handle this just fine, I would think this could easily cause confusion for editors. Propose renaming the second one to GloucesterShireAU-geo-stub. Dawynn (talk) 11:59, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Since I'm requesting a rename, I'm moving this to the Delete log for discussion. Dawynn (talk) 02:26, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Siege-stub
I had no idea that there was a process of getting permission to create a stub group. I created a stub today called Siege of Newcastle and as a siege is either not a battle or a type of battle (depends on ones PoV) I decided to create a siege-stub and a category:Siege stubs as sub category to category:battle stubs. I have since moved all the articles that start with the word Siege and had a battle-stub template into the category. If there is a consensus not to keep the stub or the category, let me know and I'll move the score of articles back into the battle-stub category. -- PBS (talk) 03:25, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem a bad idea. Quite small at the moment (24 articles) but a look at how many siege articles are already stub-tagged suggests that with a bit of sorting there shouldn't be a problem in taking it through threshold. SeveroTC 11:49, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
