A search using CatScan suggests that there are 61 articles in that could also go in this category. Add a few from the parent category, including the category, and you should have around 65-70 pages under this category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Cloud computing stub

 * Category:Cloud computing

i.e. Nivio. –xenotalk 14:25, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "i.e."? There's no need for a separate template if that's the only stub. I take it you mean "e.g." though... We actually had discussions about a cloud-computing-stub in the past, but it was rejected because there were few stubs and for definitional reasons (see here). This came a few monts after an unproposed stub template for this was created and deleted at SFD (see here). If there are enough stubs that would clearly take this which aren't effectively covered by other stub types, it might be worthwhile ("enough" being 60 for a separate category), but I suspect there are still the same concerns as voiced in November. Grutness...wha?  00:01, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, forgive the brief and grammatically incorrect nomination, I've never been here before and was kindof rushed. No worries if we don't need this. –xenotalk 00:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, by now we might, so it was worthwhile suggesting. I must admit to knowing very little about the subject, though, so will leave discussion on whether it would be useful to others who know more. Grutness...wha?  00:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

split of
SaintLouisCityMO-geo-stub has more than 60 stubs so propose or similarly named category, this will still leave the parent oversized so anyoneany idea on regions that we could use for splitting? Waacstats (talk) 09:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC) Counties of Missouri most likely, although there seems to be a high number of counties. Mmm that's a tough one as it is obvious there won't be enough for each category. There are Regions of Missouri but these seme to be loose geographical areas rather than official administrative regions. Other than this all I can suggest is to decide upon boundaries oursevles and created cateogries such as.

I'd split the map of Missouri on the right into four, northern, southern, western and eastern Missouri geography stubs. Informal but would seme to solve the category splitting problem. Problem is that some counties may be both southern and western Missouri for example so it isn't hard to in down. By the looks of it maybe we should leave it. Its oversized but at least it isn't like 2000 or something. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 13:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I had just finished sorting to upmerged by county templates (see proposal some way below relating to 5 states, only 4 to go!). I think only a couple of counties are even halfway to threshold so it may well be awhile before anything else becomes viable. Waacstats (talk) 15:49, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe we'd best just do Saint Louis for now then and leave it bloated. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 16:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

bloggers-stub
If this exists, I can't find it. It can be subcategorized into bloggers by nationality, subject, etc. I was trying to put an appropriate stub for Amit Agarwal and that was when I couldn't find one for bloggers. I was shocked! Postcard Cathy (talk) 21:44, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose We already have Internet-bio-stub, not to mention that we should not be encouraging articles about bloggers in my view anyway. I would however support  Dr. Blofeld       White cat 13:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. I agree, internet-bio-stub is certainly a good enough stub type to use at present. BTW, if we were to have a separate template, it would be at blogger-stub, not bloggers-stub. As for the separate category - if it reaches 60, then it's certainly be useful, but at the moment it's only used on 21 articles. Grutness...wha?  23:39, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Bank stubs
I was quite surprised to discover that the most fine-grained stub type for British banks was Europe-bank-stub. Given the number of companies in is nosing towards 700, a UK-bank-stub template would make a lot of sense, upmerged at least. It would probably be worth splitting out a few of the other major nation-specific bank types, too. As such, I'd like to see the following (upmerged unless they reach 60) for starters: Many of the rest have only a small handful of stubs, so doinbg every European nation might be overkill at the moment, but would make sense eventually. Grutness...wha?  01:03, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * UK-bank-stub
 * Germany-bank-stub
 * Italy-bank-stub
 * Netherlands-bank-stub
 * Spain-bank-stub
 * France-bank-stub
 * Switzerland-bank-stub

Support the major ones like this. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 08:18, 27 June 2009 (UTC) Support all of these. Not others, necessarily.

Wow, I discovered most of the albums in are stubs. There are like 80 of stubs that I've found. Propose creation but would the name more fitting or ? Thanks - impact  F = 22:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 23:03, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I've created Turkey-company-stub but I think there is over 60 stubs. I would also propose creating company templates for most major countries and merging them until appropriate. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 16:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think most of the major countries already have templates if not cateogries. We could do with a  given that the template is over 60, but not seeing any obvious gaps, though I would support any templates that  we are missing. Waacstats (talk) 20:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll look into it tomorrow. Offhand I think there is a lot from the Middle East which haven;t got any templates. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 20:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

split of part 2
2 more upmerged templates have reached 60+ propose Waacstats (talk) 13:56, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Re-creation of Orienteering-org-stub/
Proposing re-creation of a organization stub for orienteering, with corresponding category named 'Orienteering organization stubs'. Articles that meats the stub criteria are 39 (32 federations and 7 clubs). The main reason is to reduce the amount of stub texts from two to three, see example Swiss Orienteering. The stub/category parents would be 'sport-org-stub' and 'Orienteering-stub'. See also discussion. Can this stub category be created even if the articles are only 39? --Kslotte (talk) 23:57, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A template would be reasonable, but 32+7 is still well less than 60 - so it should still be an upmerged type (i.e., no separate category). The template alone would remove double-stubbing, by feeding into both parent stub categories. If you can find another 21 stubs, then I'd have no objection to a category, but 39 is pretty low. Grutness...wha?  00:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * PS- I reworded the header to reflect what you're actually asking about (and fixed the link to the discussion). Grutness...wha?  00:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The amount of stubs is exactly 39. No more can be found for now. So, creating an upmerged type of stub is OK? Can I create it? Upmerged type sound like the best choose. --Kslotte (talk) 13:28, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Based in your earlier texts I assumed a template is OK. I created a draft. Is it OK? I will process the pages using AWB once accepted, or do you have any Bot that can do this? --Kslotte (talk) 14:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * My earlier texts by themselves indicate nothing other than my own opinion. As it says at the top of WP:WSS/P, the debate runs for several days before the template is made, just in case anyone spots problems with it. It certainly shouldn't be used for at least a couple more days yet. Once that debate period's over though, if there are no objections, the template you've made will work well - I've tweaked it slightly, but other than that it was fine. Grutness...wha?  00:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * What is the amount limit for creating upmerged type of stub templates? In WikiProject_Orienteering we have the following categories that may pass your criteria:
 * Swiss orienteers (31)
 * Russian orienteers (31)
 * Czech orienteers (26)
 * Are creation of stub templates for these OK? --Kslotte (talk) 14:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I'd support templates but not categories just yet. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 14:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I often propose templates splitting out a handful of nationalities from a particular sport and I normally use 30ish existing stub articles as a benchmark or if enough countries already have templates/categories will propose finishing off the continent. In this case I see no reason not to have these templates assuming all those articels are stubs. Waacstats (talk) 15:43, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If those counts are for stubs, I see no problem with them, but these appear to be the counts for articles overall. From the comments below, though, the numbers seem reasonable enough for upmerged templates. Grutness...wha?  00:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions ... --Kslotte (talk) 16:09, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Orienteering-org-stub Creation approved, template not yet reviewed. Still pending, more opinions needed.
 * Switzerland-orienteering-bio-stub Pending, more opinions needed, estimated that 29 are stubs
 * Russia-orienteering-bio-stub Pending, more opinions needed, estimated that 29 are stubs
 * CzechRepublic-orienteering-bio-stub Pending, more opinions needed, estimated that 25 are stubs


 * The complete breakdown of Orienteering biography can be found here. --Kslotte (talk) 17:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Verified the biography countries stubs: 30 Swiss, 30 Russian and 26 Czech. --Kslotte (talk) 18:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll support all the above templates given these figures. Waacstats (talk) 13:48, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

✅ Final structure --Kslotte (talk) 19:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Latest update: Grutness...wha?  00:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Note - I've just altered the names of two of the proposed templates - stub templates use the noun forms of country names, not the adjectives (adjectives can be confused with things like languages in a lot of stub types). Grutness...wha?  00:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

European-film-stub and Cat:European film stubs, and related
S2. I found a german film stub and there is no category for it. Alternatively I recommend there be a European-film-sub and Cat:European film stubs for any european countries not mentioned (And along that, the same for the other continents). -  Floydian  <sup style="color:#3AAA3A;">τ <sub style="color:#3AAA3A;">γ  07:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Floydian we have Germany-film-stub and. Where appropriate I think it is better to create film templates by country. I'd support the creation of any missing film templates by European country and merge them intoa European category though until they become viable. Dr. Blofeld      White cat 09:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'd have to agree. Splitting using the term "German" leaves it ambiiguous as to language or country of origin, and it's far easier to split films by country a lot of the time (there are plenty of multilingual films to cause real problems). I also support Dr B's suggestion of a catchall European category but with by-nation templates (as per the usual naming formats, i.e., the forms here). Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  01:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The Germany-film-stubs isn't listed in WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types/Culture. I will add it so that others do not come here proposing another german film stubs category. Perhaps just adding European film stubs, Asian film stubs, and North American film stubs onto the list will let people choose it when they can't find a specific country on the list. --  Floydian  <sup style="color:#3AAA3A;">τ <sub style="color:#3AAA3A;">γ  01:45, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a cat for European stubs at Category:European film stubs with either a sub-cat for more popular countries (including Germany), or templates for less popular countries that upmerge to the main cat (for example, Albania). The German stub is at Germany-film-stub and not Germany-film-stubs (I think all stubs have the suffix of stub rather than stubs). There is also the parent cat of the European stubs at Category:Film stubs by country which covers everything else. If you can't find a particualr film stub, please drop a note on my talkpage and I'll get back to you.  Lugnuts  (talk) 09:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Split of
Over 1000 articles. My gut feeling is that splitting by topic area is a good one, perhaps with the following templates for starters, plus separate categories for any which reach the 60-stub threshold:


 * clinical-psychology-stub
 * psychotherapy-stub
 * perception-stub (and/or psychophysics-stub)
 * cognition-stub
 * child-psychology-stub (or developmental-psychology-stub)
 * behaviourism-stub (with redirect at behaviorism-stub, or vice versa)
 * social-psychology-stub
 * phobia-stub

and possibly one for sexuality-related psychology, name to be debated (just sex-psychology-stub, perhaps?) These would parallel the existing splits at, +c. Open to other ideas, but this seems a good series of options to start with. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  02:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Support. Although some of them like "perception stub" seme a little offbeat. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 09:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Air-disaster-stub and
Not sure about this one, as I haven't done an exact count; given the number of articles there, though, one would think it might be viable. Category title is along the lines of "Category:Aviation accidents and incidents" etc. What say you? --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 17:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you mean Aviation-accident-stub? For the record, a similar discussion has been had before (see Stub_types_for_deletion/Log/2009/February/4). There may be enough stubs for a category by now, though... BTW, is a bit of a mess - a lot of its contents seem to be earthquake-doubles stubbed with both disaster-stub and earthquake-stub, even though the latter's cat is a subcat of Disaster stubs. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  01:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Interestno, as my grandmother would say. I've never noticed that stub before - there's quite a few things double-stubbed that could use it, so perhaps I'll go on a fix-up spree ere long.  Not sure if it's enough for a category yet, but I could be wrong. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 13:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

India-food-stub and
Would it be OK if I moved this stub template to India-cuisine-stub and have it record stubs to ? This would be to bring their naming structure into line with the other national cuisine related stub templates and categories.

Tokelau-bio-stub and
There is a Tokelau politician stub but not a general Tokelau bio stub yet. I accidentally created the Tokelau stub category today, but I'm unsure how to fix it and make it a working page. Scanlan (talk) 18:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC) 'old your 'orses Mr Grutness. I'll see what I can do. The category has been created now so may as well fill it! Dr. Blofeld       White cat 19:01, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * At my last tally there were only 25 stubs concerning Tokelau, which is why there was (deliberately) no category. Unless that number has blown out to over 60, that should still be the situation, so the category should be deleted and any templates connected with it upmerged. A bio-stub is probably a good idea, though - but it should be upmerged to . Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  02:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like it's climbed all the way to 26 stubs, so I've taken the category to SFD. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  02:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Good luck... but remember I keep an eye on the geos and country generics that haven't reached threshold (less so than I used to, I'll admit) - last time I checked there were no stubs in the Tokelau-specific or Oceania-specific permcats that could be marked with tokelau-stub that hadn't been tagged.

FrenchPolynesia-bio-stub

conservation-stub
Suggested text "This article about a Project or Organization involved in Conservation is a Stub"
 * I'm surprised there isn't one like this already Zarano (talk) 16:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Could be as sub types e.g. philanthropy-org-stub

Original proposal could be greatly improved but I was short on time Contributions/78.32.124.28 (talk) 20:55, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Examples: Save the Tiger Fund


 * A lot of those things would likely currently be double-stubbed with ecology-stub and org-stub. Perhaps ecology-org-stub would make sense, and would cover a slightly larger catchment of articles than a simple conservation-stub, perhaps? Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  02:20, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

This is a request regarding this new stub - Could we please make this follow the format of the other food and drink biographical stub formats of xxx-bio-stub and rename it chef-bio-stub before it gets deployed in any real capacity? --Jeremy (blah blah) 17:31, 14 June 2009 (UTC) No, I am asking that it follow the same naming standard we are already following in the WP:Food project for biographical stubs which is demonstrated in the two examples you have just listed. I am just looking for a single format so people don't get confused when tagging a food or drink related biographical stub.
 * I don't really see the need to rename it, but a redirect from chef-bio-stub is probably a good idea. We only usually use -bio- when the actual name of the occupation in the template is ambiguous (e.g., we have politician-stub and historian-stub, because politician and historian can only be occupations- and it's the same with chef). Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  23:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with G and with the precedants given. Unless you are proposing Food-bio-stub and Drink-bio-stub which we seem to have already?Waacstats (talk) 07:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, I would prefer that there be two different stubs for this subject since there are two different categories and they really are different occupations. The has 39 articles and dozens of sub-cats and is assigned the chef-stub template, so the  with two sub-cats and 126 articles should have its own  template. The reason is that while they can sometimes be the same person they are often not.

Examples:
 * Julia Child was a chef;
 * Norman E. Brinker was a restaurateur;
 * Emril Lagasse is both

--Jeremy (blah blah) 09:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable Jeremy. Maybe you could sort it out and stub tag the articles appropriately see chefs by country I haven't got around to it yet. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 14:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have moved the chef-stub template to chef-bio-stub, changed the articles that had them and will be speedy deleting the redirect. I will also will be creating the restaurateur-bio-stub. --Jeremy (blah blah) 01:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

food-stub and drink-stub
I recently turned up the drink-stub template which assigns articles to. The problem is that food-stub assigns articles to. Would it be okay if I create a separate group and edit the food-stub template so it only assigns articles to that group, thus eliminating the overlap? --Jeremy (blah blah) 11:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * sounds like a good idea. Waacstats (talk) 17:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me, too - but it's probably still worth keeping the old one as a parent of both. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  23:37, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead and done this. --Jeremy (blah blah) 08:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Japan-school-stub and
There are over 60 articles now using Japan-school-stub, so this is an S1 for creating the Category:Japanese school stubs. Almost all the articles in Category:Japanese education stubs are using Japan-school-stub. I was bold, though, and created the category already. It's likely there are more articles as I keep stumbling on orphan articles for schools in Japan. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

There are over 850 articles in Category:Japan university stubs, but I'm unsure of how to break it down further. We could do it by location for some of them, perhaps. Ideas? ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Japan-tech-university-stub would be a good one as there are at least 45 articles with "Technology" in the title, plus another at least 15-20 universities and colleges which have a focus in that area. Another could be Japan-med-university-stub for medical colleges and universities as there are well over 60 of those. Another possibility is Japan-junior-college-stub for junior colleges as there are at least 60 of those. There are also a high number of private universities (at least 60), so Japan-private-university-stub may be good. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:19, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The only country that I am aware of having been split before is the US where we split by state so I would suggest going by location rather than by type. Waacstats (talk) 08:26, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree - location seems a more logical type of split than type of university, especially since so many universities have faculties of various types (it could well end up with a lot of multi-stubbing). We've split the US by state, as WS says, and I think that the UK is getting close to being split in the same way. Mind you, we have split out seminaries in the past and - I think - law schools, so by subject's not completely out of the question. Location would be my first choice, though. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  08:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think there should be some by subject. I'm most sure of Japan-med-university-stub and Japan-private-university-stub. My thoughts on regional splits are below. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 07:59, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Guys why don't you break them up by Region? Dr. Blofeld      White cat 15:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Kantō-university-stub
 * Chūbu-university-stub

 * Chūgoku-university-stub
 * Shikoku-university-stub
 * Kyūshū-university-stub

I would support the creation of prefecture templates for all 47 of them and merge into region e.g. The categories should definately be by region. It just depends on how many we are likely to have eventually to decide whether or not to create templates by each prefecture rather than region. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 15:45, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If we did that and had them dump into a by region category (unless they were large enough on their own), that would be fine. I was suggesting by type because I didn't think most prefectures would have enough to be created. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

U.S. television stations
I believe that this is an S2. Completing pieces of the existing stub template and category structure. All proposals are for upmerged categories at this time, and would be populated via retagging articles in Category:United States television station stubs:

Visual novels
Over two years ago, the visual-novel-stub template was created, but instead of using Category:Visual novel stubs, it was decided here that Category:Anime game stubs would suffice. However, there was a recent discussion at WP:VN at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Visual novels on the fact that anime games (which redirects to List of video games based on anime or manga) have never been apart of the scope of the visual novels task force under WP:VG, so we needed to change some things. The Category:Anime game stubs itself states This category is for stub articles relating to anime games. As it is, the term "anime games" has become a misnomer for classifying what visual novels and dating sims are, and I am here now to remove the misnomer by proposing the creation of the category:


 * Category:Visual novel stubs

as visual-novel-stub is already in use. I would further like to clarify that a visual novel and dating sim are also not the same thing, and it's also a common misnomer to interchange the two, which is why we have the two separate categories Category:Visual novels and Category:Dating sims. However, since dating sims are similar in gameplay to visual novels, dating sims are under the scope of WP:VN, and we have a related template Dating sims and visual novels as well (which was also just moved from Anime games in an effort to remove the misnomer). Now, while I'd also like to propose the creation of dating-sim-stub and its related category Category:Dating sim stubs, there are not enough articles in Category:Dating sims to constitute this, but there are many stubs in Category:Visual novels which would benefit from the creation of Category:Visual novel stubs, along with finally removing the "anime games" misnomer.--  十  八  20:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Visual-novel-stub is only used on 39 stubs, which is well below threshold. This really isn't used enough for its own category at the moment. If you can find a further 21 visual novel stubs and mark them, I'm sure there'd be no objection to a . The other option might be to find 21 stubs that could use Dating-sim-stub. If so, perhaps a combined stub category would be an appropriate compromise until such time as each has enough stubs for its own stub category, given that - as you say - they are different but the terms are often used interchangeably. Personally, I'd think the former way would be better - so i've started to hunt for a few more stubs for it myself. If it reaches 60...

As part of the reorganisation, the contents of the current categories, and  would need looking at and possibly double categorising. I would prefer to subsume into the proposed Congenital malformation category however am happy to receive guidance.

Beeswaxcandle (talk) 10:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a great idea of a category that has needed splitting for a long time. I would suggest the following templates first and categories for those that reach 60 articles

Waacstats (talk) 19:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * neoplasm-stub
 * blood-disease-stub
 * endocrine-disease-stub
 * metal-disease-stub
 * NervousSystem-disease-stub
 * eye-disease-stub
 * ear-disease-stub
 * CirculatorySystem-disease-stub
 * RespiratorySystem-disease-stub
 * Skin-disease-stub
 * Musculoskeletal-disease-stub
 * Genitourinary-disease-stub
 * Pregnancy-stub
 * Perinatal-disease-stub
 * congenital-disease-stub
 * injury-stub
 * A couple of these templates need to be expressed as disorder rather than disease. Mental-disorder-stub, Perinatal-disorder-stub and Congenital-malformation-stub. This is because most conditions that are classified to these categories are not the result of a disease process. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I favor the term "condition" over "disease" or "disorder," and would prefer at least the dermatology-related stub category and template to use such terminology, perhaps and Cutaneous-condition-stub?  Regardless, thank you for your work on this! ---kilbad (talk) 12:50, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've used the term "disease" because (a) the stub category is and (b) of basing this proposal on the International Classification of Diseases. Chapter 12 is called "Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue". I'm more than happy to take guidance on appropriate names for categories and templates. I just want to be sure that it will be usable by editors seeking to improve the articles. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Is this supposed to replace the relatively simple current system, in which things are simply tagged as being a disease, without specifying the type? Kilbad, have you done any stub sorting?  Having dozens of very specific tags make the process much more cumbersome, and therefore much less likely that anyone will actually do it.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Stub categories are there for people to be able to find articles to work on, does having a category of 1200 articles assist this, in my opinion not and breaking down the category will I believe help in getting the number of stub articles down. I don't think anyone is suggesting getting rid of disease-stub so that will still be there to be used and people with expertise in eye diseases can more easily find what they are looking for. Waacstats (talk) 07:50, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I am willing to do the stub sorting for this category - this is my area of expertise as a clinical coder. And, yes, I'm fully aware of what it means having stub sorted the Birds at the beginning of the year. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The ones with "system" as part of their names should use a lower-case "s" (e.g., Circulatorysystem-disease-stub - Circulatory System is not a proper noun in this context, and the article is at Circulatory system (what's more, Circulatory System is a band!) ). Alternatively, they could simply be at Circulatory-disease-stub, Neural-disease-stub (maybe? expert advice needed on that one...), and Respiratory-disease-stub without making them too ambiguous, I would think. Other than that, I don't know enough about this to suggest a better way of splitting it, and BWC sounds like (s)he knows what (s)he is talking about, so support, but with all the caveats that my previous comments suggests.

Reorganisation of Pharmacology stub categories
With there being 2823 stubs articles in the main category as I write this with some apparently random subcategories, I propose a complete reorganisation based on the reorganisation that has occurred recently for Category:Drugs by target organ system. The reorganisation is based on the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, which is a World Health Organization adopted classification. Obviously with !voting still happening for levels 3 and 4 of this reorganisation (at WT:PHARM:CAT), I can only propose that the stub categories follow the levels 1 and 2 at this stage. However, I think that doing so would at least give us a better idea of which level 2 categories needed further division. I doubt that many level 4 categories would be required for stubs. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 09:51, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think a split at level 1 should clear this category for now but would like to see sugested names for categories and templates before offering full support.Waacstats (talk) 19:10, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough, herewith suggested names for level 1:
 * Anti-infective-agent-stub
 * Antineoplastic-drug-stub
 * Blood-drug-stub
 * Cardiovascular-system-drug-stub
 * Dermatologic-drug-stub
 * Gastrointestinal-system-drug-stub
 * Genito-urinary-system-drug-stub
 * Systemic-hormonal-preparation-stub
 * Musculoskeletal-system-drug-stub
 * Nervous-system-drug-stub
 * Respiratory-system-drug-stub

The current stub subcategories need to be moved to the appropriate place with the above level 1 cats or deprecated where they don't match the ATC. For example, should be a subcategory of  with  as a sub-subcategory. Whereas should be deprecated as it falls across multiple categories of the ATC. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I would suggest dropping some of the hyphens and using CamelCaps to comply with normal stub usage on AntiInfective, CardiovascularSystem, GastrointestinalSystem, GenitoUrinarySystem, SystemicHormonal, MusculoskeletalSystem, RespiratorySystem.  Also any chance of using -drug- on all of them or is the above suggestion normal usage. Also any reason why on disease the cat would be Genitourinary and here it s Genito-urinary?

 * I didn't use -drug- on the anti-infective agent and systemic hormonal preparation categories because the ATC uses these terms. And these are the titles of the non-stub categories. This is in part because not all pharmacological agents are drugs in the strictest sense. With respect to the Genito-urinary vs Genitourinary: I hadn't noticed that. The two classifications actually spell them differently even though they have the same publisher (WHO). The stub category for anatomy is without the hyphen and the hyphenated version for the articles are redirects to the unhyphenated version, so I guess for consistency this should also be Genitourinary.

 * They wouldn't use camelcaps, BTW - thats only if the words would normally have capitals (e.g., NewYork-geo-stub). These would simply be Respiratorysystem-... and the like - though see also my suggestion for the "system" ones in the section above.

The first district template in the punjab reaches 60. Category as in title? Waacstats (talk) 15:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * add to that . Waacstats (talk) 09:31, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * and . Waacstats (talk) 20:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Presumably as in title, as long as (a) there aren't any other places with the same name to disambiguate between, and (b) previous Indian splits have used a lower case "d" (ISTR they have). If these points are fine, then, support. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  08:54, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * answers: a-The articles for each district (and for that matter city) have no notice about other city/region/etc of same name and i can find no disambig page for them. b-indian districts do use lower case "d". So I'll get onto it - should get another cat off the oversize list. Waacstats (talk) 12:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

NRHP-stubs
Someones been busy with these so I propose the following categories based on the already existing templates having already reached 60 and based on the fact that 58 is close enough - especially as it would be the last state in the South with out a category Waacstats (talk) 10:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

split of
I did say someone has been busy (1323 articles) I propose splitting by county (as per Massachusetts). Templates of the form AlleganyMD-NRHP-stub with categories for any that pass 60 being of the form using BaltimoreCity and BaltimoreCounty to distinguish these two.
