Proposals, August 2010
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the list of stub types. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page.

Proposal for both a Northern Irish and Welsh sports bio stub
There currently exists an English, Scottish and Irish sports stub. Welsh sportsman are listed under UK stubs while Northern Irish sportsmen are listed under either Irish or UK stubs. One example is Tony Dobbin who is listed under Irish sports stubs. I feel he should be under Northern Irish stubs.Captainbeecher (talk) 07:06, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Category:Sportspeople from Northern Ireland stubs

 * Oppose. Most people have never heard of Lower Saxony's districts and this just adds confusion. The proposal should not be carried out unless it has been discussed and agreed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany. The number of stubs is not excessive and quite a few are no longer stubs anyway. I have already removed around thirty by expanding them or deleting them where appropriate and will continue to assist in driving nos. down further. --Bermicourt (talk) 06:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Maybe best to organize categories by canton also like Category:Populated places in the West Herzegovina Canton and then by municipality.Starzynka (talk) 21:52, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

German state structure templates
Given that there are thousands of articles to transwiki and existing could do with organization:

Split of
The various Hylidae articles were already very well sorted by genus in main categories. Gathering these into subfamily categories allows for some splits amongst the stub categories.
 * Hemiphractinae-stub / . Cat scan indicates somewhere around 70 articles.
 * Pelodryadinae-stub / . 121 articles.
 * Phyllomedusinae-stub / . 56 articles.  Willing to start with an upmerge template, and build to a category, if we can find the extra 4 articles.
 * Hylinae-stub / . 364 articles so far, and I'm still carving this one.  Asking for a few subcategories under this guy:
 * Dendropsophus-stub / . 91 articles.
 * Hypsiboas-stub / . 73 articles.
 * Scinax-stub / . 89 articles.

That should go far toward breaking down what had become an overlarge category. Dawynn (talk) 16:15, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

(and national subcats)
The organization of association football biography stubs loses some value of the categorization process IMO. One clear opportunity for improvement is in the categorization of women's football articles. For example, includes Claudia Müller and Isabell Bachor. The only existing subcategories in which to classify those players would be their position on the field. However, a German women's football enthusiast might wish to assist in expanding stubs for women's footballers, regardless of position.

I didn't go to the effort to quantify the number of articles for such categories, but hopefully it's self-evident that "lots" of stubs would qualify. Regards, PhilipR (talk) 16:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not generally to keen on splitting stub categories by sex but I think this is one of the few areas where there is a massive disparity between the followers of the mens and womens sides. I think that for starters it may be best just to have 1 category as a subcat of fed by a generic template Women-footy-bio-stub? and a few national templates for the larger nations in womens football (Germany, US, China, Norway, Sweden, Brazil) and see how many we have got.  I also think it would be an idea to keep them in there current categories where these are more descriptive than the womens category (i.e keeping someone in norwegian midfielder stub cat stays there and goes into the womens cat.)Waacstats (talk) 12:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support what Waacstats suggests - I suspect there are enough American women alone to warrant a separate category. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Just started looking at this category. I'm working on breaking the parent category apart by subfamilies. It's already becoming clear that there should be support for a few subcategories here: Dawynn (talk) 15:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Tephritinae-stub / . I believe this will eventually have enough to support being a category of its own.  It will also serve as an intermediate category, containing the already existing.
 * Rhagoletis-stub / . Genus-level category (see parent ).  Cat scan indicates over 70 articles.
 * Trypeta-stub / . Although this main genus-level category still needs to be formed, there appear to be about 200 articles here, most of which are likely stubs.  See main article Trypeta.
 * Trypetinae-stub / . This also appears to have enough for its own, once the parent gets cut apart.  In the meantime, it will serve as an intermediate category for the Rhagoletis and Trypeta stub categories.  Main category has been started, but not fully filled:.
 * Phytalmiinae-stub / . I anticipate this will also have enough, once everything is cut apart.  I'm willing to build this as an upmerge template until 60 articles found.  Main category has been started, but not fully filled:.

whale-stub and paleo-whale-stub
paleo-whale-stub was created out of process. Scans I have just done propose that there may be nearly 60 articles which could be tagged as whale-stub, and of these, 39 could be tagged as paleo-whale-stub. I propose creating the former, and keeping the latter, as upmerged templates until we have a few more. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:37, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
