Proposals, December 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.

Splitting Antarctica
Due to some heavy lifting by User:Dr. Blofeld, User:Александр Мотин, and li'l ol' me, ballooned considerably a couple of months ago. I've been doing what stub-sorting I can, and have winnowed the parent category down considerably; this has, however, come at the expense of overpopulating some of the subcategories: and  in particular. So my question: what is to be done about them?

I've been giving it some thought, and the best thing I could think of would be to divide them further by segments - for instance, QueenMaudLand-geo-stub, RossDependency-geo-stub, that sort of thing. It's not ideal, and I can see that it might leave a lot by the wayside, but it might be a good start at dealing with the problem. I am, of course, open to any better suggestions you have for this. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:04, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:37, 31 December 2010 (UTC) Support– Certainly a good way to reduce where reduction is desperately needed. ~ Gosox ( 55 )( 55 ) 19:56, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. I've suggested a RossDep one in the past, but never got round to doing much about it. an AdelieLand-geo-stub might be useful, too, small though Adelie Land may be. Grutness...wha?  22:28, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What about something like SouthShetlandIslands-geo-stub? That would cover a deal of ground, too. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:34, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * They (and all other subantarctic islands) are covered by Subantarctic-geo-stub already. Sounds like there may be some under-sorting between the antarctica and subantarctic geo stubs. Mind you, the Subantarctic category's at over 800, so it may be worthwhile at that. Grutness...wha?  04:28, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, there are currently something like 300-odd stub articles in the South Shetlands categories, as I recall. Add those to the sub-Antarctic category and it risks overpopulation. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:30, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * In that case, a SouthShetlands-geo-stub (note the amended name) is a very good idea! Grutness...wha?  10:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Suppport all four above named templates and categories when they pass 60 (some serious lifting going on there a cat with almost 2000 articles and 2 subcats over 4000 each!! - major sorting required) good luck. Waacstats (talk) 13:13, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I shall probably begin tackling them sometime this weekend, then. I may dig up a few more to suggest, too. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:40, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Psychiatrists, part deux
Having sorted a bucket-load of psychiatrists using the new Psychiatrist-stub and US-psychiatrist-stub, it looks like there's enough for a speediable category for the Americans. Well, not quite speediable, owing to ambiguities about the name - it's a partner of but a child of. Given that the permcat is at, it should probably be at , but I'm open to offers...

It also looks like a handful more upmerged templates would be useful, too - UK-psychiatrist-stub, France-psychiatrist-stub and Germany-psychiatrist-stub would account for around 30 stubs each. Grutness...wha?  07:01, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support templates - and I'm in agreement with you about the category name. It's simplest, and simplest is often best, in my book. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:53, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support, I would prefer United States but American will be easier in the long run and no problem with the templates or any other nation that you think would be of use. Waacstats (talk) 13:15, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That was my thinking with the US/American business, too - personally I'd have preferred United States, but American makes more sense in terms of the category tree. Grutness...wha?  22:53, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

People/sportspeople speedy categories
Form existing upmerged templates, following are viable: SeveroTC 21:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * (107)
 * (105) (I think Mauritian??)
 * Mauritian it is - if in doubt, check List of adjectival and demonymic forms of place names. Grutness...wha?  22:10, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support both. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:19, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

NativeAmerican-politician-stub
A combination of two catscans, here and (if that isn't everything) also here. If they were involved in state or federal government, I would sort by state. If they were involved in tribal government, I would sort as NativeAmerican. ~ Gosox ( 55 )( 55 ) 17:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I think there's merit in this. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:54, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

sub-categories
Found the following as likely categories. Note: I used the size search in catscan, so these counts may be off, and may not reduce the parent category as much as indicated:
 * Osmeriformes-stub / . About 69 articles.
 * Lophiiformes-stub / . About 68 articles.
 * Gadiformes-stub / . About 113 articles.
 * Syngnathiformes-stub / . About 81 articles.

Also, the following should support creation of the template: Dawynn (talk) 16:06, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Stomiiformes-stub. About 49 articles.
 * Beloniformes-stub. About 47 articles.
 * Support -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Split of Jazz musician stubs
The following all appear viable Some of the non-US categories may end up in the 50-60 range but with a sub cat this should be OK. Waacstats (talk) 01:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Caribbean musicians
The following are both viable Don't think that individual nation templates are required at this point because I think the largest single country is Cuba with about 20 across the two categories. Waacstats (talk) 01:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Caribbean-musician-stub -

Trombonists
This one could proove a little awkward as the following would all be viable but may be not together. the numbers are my best guess as to the potential size of each category assuming that any subcats are not created (i.e amongst the 105 trombonists are 60 US-jazz and 45 others). I think the first and last will be enough for now, what does everyone else think. Waacstats (talk) 01:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Trombonist-stub - (105)
 * jazz-trombonist-stub - (75)
 * US-trombonist-stub - (70)

Split of european musician stubs
I thought we already had templates for each european country but it appears that a few are missing, some of the most obvious are Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Croatia and Slovakia. I propose we create templates for all missing countries that have stub articles. Waacstats (talk) 13:21, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Defensive back, 1990s birth stubs
There already is a category and a stub for each decade before (see Category:Defensive back stubs), so a 1990s version is due. —bender235 (talk) 15:19, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with a template (And likewise for other positions) but we normally only create categories which will (at the time of creation) contain at least 60 articles and as these guys would at most be 21 years old I think it may be awhile before we get to 60 articles. Waacstats (talk) 15:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support template for now. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Stub for electrical engineers
Catscan only turns up 14 stubs in the Electrical engineers category, but stub templates for civil and mechanical engineers already exist so it seems reasonable. Doctorhook (talk) 23:36, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support template for now. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you mean A stub for Electrical engineering or Electrical engineers as I can only find stubs for civil and mechanical engineering not engineers. Waacstats (talk) 14:33, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Split of
The following subtypes should almost certainly be viable for their own subcategories, and if not would be very useful as upmerged templates: Grutness...wha?  04:38, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * NEast-archaeology-stub / ("Near East" seems to be used in archaeology rather than "Middle East") (at least 70 stubs, plus many of those in, which would likely be a subcat)
 * Upmerged Egypt-archaeology-stub, Israel-archaeology-stub, Turkey-archaeology-stub.
 * UK-archaeology-stub / (≈75 stubs)
 * Asia-archaeology-stub / (≈65 stubs)
 * Upmerged PRChina-archaeology-stub
 * US-archaeology-stub / (not sure of the numbers, but likely >60)
 * Support all -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:15, 25 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Update - the UK actually had >200 stubs, not 75 - and amazingly there are enough if needed for a separate Devon-specific stub, though I seriously doubt that it's worthwhile at the moment! Grutness...wha?  06:31, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Psychiatrist-stub
We have Psychologist-stub, but no equivalent stub for its partner field of psychiatry. I feel that such a stub is long overdue and - if there are enough of them for a category, could reduce some of the strain on both and {{cl|Psychology stubs}{} (where they don't really belong anyway). Grutness...wha?  09:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I'm sure it myst be viable. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:39, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll guarantee it's viability as I have often thought about proposing it and not got round to it and I think an American category would be viable as well. Waacstats (talk) 20:05, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly adding US-psychiatrist-stub to the nom would be a good idea. Grutness...wha?  04:42, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

More South American airport stubs

split
I'd like to propose a new split of the New York Registered Historic Place stubs. Currently, all the articles have been split by county. But enough of the counties are still small enough that they upmerge into an oversized state category. I'd like to propose splitting the state according to the regions defined in this map: file:New York State Department Economic Development Regions.png. If I analyzed this correctly, the split would look like this: The new categories will all be holders only. No new templates requested. Dawynn (talk) 16:03, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Pakistan-sport-stub
Was surprised by our lack of a separate Pakistan-sport-stub, which - given similar templates for other countries - is probably speediable as an upmerged type. Grutness...wha?  22:07, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

above category is oversized suggest a US-case-law-stub and should be over 60 according to catscan. Waacstats (talk) 12:25, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

As these follow precedent for other Burkina Faso provinces, they should be able to go speedy. Dawynn (talk) 17:52, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

split
Propose adding a few new categories here:

. As with the precedent set by other region stubs for Burkina Faso, this will be built as a holder category with no template. It will become home to:
 * , built from Comoé-geo-stub. 188 articles.
 * Léraba-geo-stub will upmerge here.

. Again, holder category with no template. It will become home to:
 * , built from Gnagna-geo-stub. 283 articles.
 * Gourma-geo-stub will upmerge here
 * Komondjari-geo-stub will upmerge here
 * Kompienga-geo-stub will upmerge here
 * Tapoa-geo-stub will upmerge here.

is nearing the 800 article oversize mark. This will knock out over half of that count. Dawynn (talk) 17:23, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Slightly oversized (at over 1000) suggest a split by war with the Civil war, WWI and WWII all viable. suggest the following: Suggestions for improvements to names greatly accepted as these need improving. Waacstats (talk) 01:25, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * US-army-civilwar-bio-stub -
 * US-army-WWI-bio-stub -
 * US-army-WWII-bio-stub -
 * I fixed a couple of caps in the category titles for you - may I suggest US-army-CivilWar-bio-stub instead? That sounds a bit better to me, "Civil War" being as much a title as a description of what it was.


 * Incidentally, what's the status of Confederate biographies, any idea? That may be viable grounds for another stub tag, though I'm not sure. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:56, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the corrections they all look good. As for the confederate biographies I have always put them in this category and according to catscan ther would not be enough for a  and  maybe using two templates Union-army-bio-stub and Confederate-army-bio-stub  to populate a civil war category.  Waacstats (talk) 15:26, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That works - but perhaps Union-mil-bio-stub and Confederate-mil-bio-stub instead? While most of the articles would be about soldiers, there was a significant enough naval presence in the war, too, which would probably take in at least a few articles about naval personnel. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:17, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That would depend on if we are then taking out those people from the civil war first then splitting the rest by specific force. Waacstats (talk) 22:36, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Category:Oregon organization stubs
The high-level Oregon stub category, Category:Oregon stubs, has about 220 entries. Up to half are businesses and many of the others are organizations like festivals, farmers markets, clubs, etc. At the moment, I was looking for a stub tag for a volunteer mountain search and rescue: there doesn't seem to be a better category than the general Oregon stub.

I am completely oblivious to the inner operations of the stub group, but 200 seems like it adequately exceeds the suggested threshold of 30 to 60 category members where it would be reasonable to subdivide this classes of articles. In view of that, perhaps it would also be satisfactory to further subdivide this into commercial and for-profit groups versus volunteer and non-profit groups. —EncMstr (talk) 21:47, 6 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I therefore suggest Oregon-corporate-stub and Oregon-organization-stub with corresponding category names. But I didn't check for parallels anywhere.  —EncMstr (talk) 22:21, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:35, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak support. 60 is the number of stubs that would be in the new subcategory, not the number currently in the category to be split; usually splitting out of an existing category only becomes a major issue when it has 600-800 stubs. The "sweet spot" at for a stub category is usually regarded as 150-400 stubs, so the current size of is pretty near spot on. Having said that, if there are as many org-stubs there as you say, it's a reasonable option. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  04:23, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not keen on splitting businesses by state, but admit I don't think it is a major nono. If we are to go ahead I think that to fit in with elsewhere the templates would actually be Oregon-company-stub and Oregon-org-stub as -company- and -org- are used elsewhere. Waacstats (talk) 15:17, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed they would - well spotted. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  22:21, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
