PrawoiSprawiedliwość-politician-stub
I propose renaming to LawandJustice-politician-stub to reflected English-language title of the article name -> Law and Justice. Category should be renamed as well. - Darwinek (talk) 14:38, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * given the article and related permcats have already been changed I think this is another that can be speedied. Waacstats (talk) 23:06, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I was trying to be helpful here. I renamed the template.  The category rename is a bit beyond me. Dawynn (talk) 23:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Built new category, and tried renaming. Please check my work. Dawynn (talk) 15:44, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

2010s-play-stub
As per 2000s-play-stub, this would be upmerged into until there are sufficient stubs to warrant a category of their own - danyoung - 21:02, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think this can be speedied based on precedant now that we are in the 2010 decade. Waacstats (talk) 23:05, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Miami-stub
I propose to you creating a stub category specifically of Miami-area related topics. The greater Miami area is the third largest metro area in the united states and is extremely significant in the cultural zeitgeist of the nation, as well as it its arts & entertainment. PeterbrownDancin (talk) 19:08, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Closed Airports
A stub should be created for airport which are closed such as Quartz Hill Airportbecausew there is currently not a very descriptive stub to place them under. Fly it 'till the last piece stops moving - somebody, Sumsum2010 23:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I would have thought that more people know about airports in a certain vicinity (Country) rather than airports that are open/closed I would rather have only one axis of split for airports and have that by country. Waacstats (talk) 13:53, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

This currently has over 800 members, most of which aren't likely to be expanded in the near future. I propose the creation of stub templates for all 105 counties, upmerged to a few regional categories. Not sure on what regional boundaries I'd like to see, but perhaps we could use this map, with Kansas City merged into the northeastern region? I'll admit that I don't know whether these regions would have 60 stubs each; we could adopt these boundaries and wait for a few more stubs to be created if one or two regions didn't have enough stubs. Nyttend (talk) 02:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Another reasonable split (105 templates! what is going on here)Waacstats (talk) 20:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

The Slovenia Problem.
We now have 2,600 stubs and it would seme the decision to split regionally was a failure. Who supports the idea of creating geo templates for each municipality and create stub categories by Statistical regions of Slovenia splitting where possible? Dr. Blofeld       White cat 16:18, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Škofja Loka is viable (62 stubs)

2010 Transylvanian history stubs
History of Transylvania has 12 subcategories with 66 articles. There are a great many Transylvania-related stubs not marked as such (eg. Gelu). Transylvania is a special historical and geographical, albeit currently not administrative region which was first mentioned in 1075 and had throughout its history a special multi-ethnic political, cultural and demographic character. Articles for history are split between Hungary and Romania-related articles, although in most cases a Transylvanian history-stub would be appropriate as an addditional or even alternative marking between the two.Rokarudi 14:44, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Totally support this. PeterbrownDancin (talk) 20:59, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

2010 Aurangabad, Maharashtra stubs
Lately a lot of people haver been creating articles connected to Aurangabad city and thus I feel there is a need to create a stub. Aurangabad is one of the known tourist sites that consists of two world heritage sites and so I feel it would be apt to create a stub for articles related to Aurangabad city. Nefirious (talk) 13:39, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Very few cities have a stub type and unless someone can show me 60 stub articles relating to this city I don't think we need a category or even a template. Waacstats (talk) 13:17, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Mmm on looking at Category:Aurangabad, Maharashtra it looks as if a lot of them are not stub tagged at all. If the proposer wants to tag them and will work through improving them I support.. The best thing though would be to use district templates/cats. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 08:01, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Yep, I have already worked on many Aurangabad related articles, such as Himroo, Bibi Ka Maqbara, Aurangabad Caves, Panchakki, Daulatabad etc. It would be a pleasure to improve and work on their improvement sir. Nefirious (talk) 15:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

split of
further to discussion below I propose splitting out members of the state senate along the same lines as we have already done with the house of representatives I propose Pennsylvania-PASenate-stub and. Waacstats (talk) 21:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC) OK. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 16:19, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Possible creation of American film stubs by year
I know the genre categories exist but what are the thoughts on creating stub categories for US films? I really don't see why they should be exempt from stub classification. The genre categories cover all world films but I think the time has come when we should be organizing American films into stub categories and rooting out wihich need expanding from each year. I'd be happy to see a 2001-US-film-stub etc as we really have hundreds of stubs from each year. Any thoughts? Dr. Blofeld      White cat 14:07, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess that by decade as we normally do would be to big, I can not say that I'm happy with a by year, but would not oppose on those grounds. Would not a split of the existing genre categories say 2000s-US-drama-film-stub or something similar not work. Waacstats (talk) 13:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I agree, but the reason I said about by year is that, particularly in the 2000s we have enough stubs by year to make year categories/templates viable... If you look at the stub count of all American films A 2000s American film stubs is likely to be overly bloated. Yes your idea would be better. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 23:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, support the decades by genre for the US films.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:44, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Offhand I would say Delta, Edo, Imo, Kano, Niger, Ogun, Plateau, Rivers. Edo, Imo, Kano may clash with some Japanese article I dunno.... Dr. Blofeld       White cat 10:45, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Split of
Recommend creating templates by decade e.g 2000s-Japan-film-stub and splitting where viable. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 14:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

2010s film stubs
Required to mirror all the 2000s film stubs. I am not sure I have the skill to do this so where would I ask once approved? Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 22:35, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I see no reason for NOT HAVING a template (or even templates following the pattern of 2000s) but caetgory can wait till we have 60 (If we don't have 60 already).If you need help in creating them I'm sure it says somewhere on WP:STUB or just drop a note on my talk page.

Oppose. 60 articels is not valid. 60 stub articles though I will support...I am kidding as you've picked up on tiny errors in stub tag proposals previously.. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 13:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Hitler Family Stubs Hitler-family-stub

 * added by User:Gigogag.


 * Oppose. Not needed in any way. We don't have stub types for specific families, and there's no reason why this one should be any different. only has 22 members, and only about six of them are stubs - this os only 10% of the number of stubs needed for a separate stub category, and these six are already well covered by other stub types. It is unlikely that there will be any more articles on members of the family either, so this will never get to the necessary threshold for splitting. (BTW, a template of this name was created, but was also speedied since it was so far removed from a working stub template and was unused - if the decision is to have such a stub template then a proper one can be made). Grutness...wha?  01:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree with Grutness. Pointless given the narrow scope... Dr. Blofeld       White cat 10:14, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe you could widen it to "Hitler Stubs" in general, meaning any stub that has something to do with Hitler?--98.114.243.75 (talk) 00:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Agreed: Novels written in 2010 are plenty and there has to be a stub designed for it.Nefirious (talk) 22:48, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Motion Picture equipment stub
I propose for a stub as this one Motion pictures equipment stub. It is needed and is essential since a lot of film students access the internet to study about the equipments being used for motion picture productions. There already are more than 50 articles on this subject. Looking forward for a positive response. Nefirious (talk) 22:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
