South American sculptor stubs
If I'm proposing painters, I should propose sculptors as well, I suppose.
 * Chile-sculptor-stub
 * Argentina-sculptor-stub
 * Peru-sculptor-stub
 * Bolivia-sculptor-stub
 * Paraguay-sculptor-stub
 * Uruguay-sculptor-stub
 * Brazil-sculptor-stub
 * Ecuador-sculptor-stub
 * Colombia-sculptor-stub
 * Venezuela-sculptor-stub
 * Guyana-sculptor-stub
 * Suriname-sculptor-stub
 * FrenchGuiana-sculptor-stub

Not sure there would be enough for a as yet, but that shouldn't be hard to make possible... -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:39, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Africa-painter-stub and Africa-sculptor-stub
Both feeding into the category for the moment. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

South American painter stubs
As with composers - with a couple of rubs. I propose creating most of the following:


 * Chile-painter-stub
 * Argentina-painter-stub
 * Peru-painter-stub
 * Bolivia-painter-stub
 * Paraguay-painter-stub
 * Uruguay-painter-stub
 * Brazil-painter-stub
 * Ecuador-painter-stub
 * Colombia-painter-stub
 * Venezuela-painter-stub
 * Guyana-painter-stub
 * Suriname-painter-stub
 * FrenchGuiana-painter-stub

Six are already created, but they aren't used on many articles. Furthermore, is underpopulated. Here's my thinking: if is deleted for the moment, and depopulated, that combined with what is a.) currently stub-tagged and b.) what can potentially be stub-tagged (I know there will likely be enough) should be enough to populate. This should go some way towards codifying what exists.

Does this make sense? It kind of does in my head, but I'm not sure I'm translating it well. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:29, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable to me. I'd expect it would get pretty close to 60 stubs if the Brazilian ones are included, but the separate Brazil cat is unlikely to be viable any time soon. Grutness...wha?  23:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

South American composer stub templates
I intend (and we all know what road is paved with those) to create a few more stubs on South American composers in the coming weeks. We already have a SouthAm-composer-stub, but I think it would be easier to break down the tags by individual countries. Thus:


 * Chile-composer-stub
 * Argentina-composer-stub
 * Peru-composer-stub
 * Bolivia-composer-stub
 * Paraguay-composer-stub
 * Uruguay-composer-stub
 * Brazil-composer-stub
 * Ecuador-composer-stub
 * Colombia-composer-stub
 * Venezuela-composer-stub
 * Guyana-composer-stub
 * Suriname-composer-stub
 * FrenchGuiana-composer-stub

None of them have nearly enough articles for a separate category of their own as yet, so all would feed into.

Any objections? I'm about to suggest the same with painters. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

As below with Romania; there were a lot of untagged ones in the category, so this should now just squeak by. Switzerland-composer-stub is the parent, of course. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:01, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * As below with Romania; Support Waacstats (talk) 13:12, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Split of
Just oversized we already have started to split this by department templates and regional categories. I propose we finish this with the following: Categories iff we have 60 articels to go in them otherwise upmerge to the parent category. Waacstats (talk) 16:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * - AmazonasCO-geo-stub Caquetá-geo-stub Guainía-geo-stub Guaviare-geo-stub Putumayo-geo-stub Vaupés-geo-stub
 * - Arauca-geo-stub Casanare-geo-stub Meta-geo-stub Vichada-geo-stub
 * - Cauca-geo-stub SantanderCO-geo-stub
 * - Chocó-geo-stub Nariño-geo-stub ValledelCauca-geo-stub
 * - SanAndrésandProvidencia -geo-stub
 * Support all. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:28, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support all, though I'd suggest changing the name of one of those templates to MetaCO-geo-stub to avoid the potential for confusion. AFAIK there's nowhere else called Meta, but the term does have a lot of WP-specific meanings. Grutness...wha?  22:44, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good spot, I had been looking out for other places and hadn't thought of that. Waacstats (talk) 13:14, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Split of
Oversized category it looks like the next level down in vurna is the district this would lead to the following I don't think any except the last one need any disambigs, but if someone could double check. Waacstats (talk) 12:01, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Sagaingdistrict-geo-stub -
 * Support all -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:08, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Some will need dabbing. I note too that named districts in Burma/Myanmar use a capital D, so all the categories will need to be changed appropriately. I propose the following (slightly renamed) variants on the above: Grutness...wha?  22:42, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * KaleMM-geo-stub -
 * Tamu-geo-stub -
 * Mawlaik-geo-stub -

Split of
Pakisan Punjab is oversized but 2 upmerged templates have passed 60 and so the following two categories are viable Any objections to speedy? Waacstats (talk) 11:54, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - none here. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:07, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Change those "districts" to "Districts" (capital D), and you've got my support, too! The other "district" categories need renaming... all the permcats and key articles capitalise the District. Grutness...wha?  22:49, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Capital D's sound good to me and yes I had based this on the existing district stub cats. Waacstats (talk) 13:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure that this will aid in cutting down the oft oversized. Catscan suggests 75 articles plus. Waacstats (talk) 11:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support speedy -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:07, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Should now be viable with just over 60 tagged with Romania-composer-stub. As usual, there were a lot in the general category that could take the stub tag but did not have it. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 07:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy' as I'm sure there is 1 or 2 precedants out there somewhere! Waacstats (talk) 11:41, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Category:Lincolnshire railway station stubs
Apologies for not doing this first. Existing railway station stubs in Lincolnshire are allocated either to 'east midlands' or 'yorkshire & the humber', the current structure based on moribund english regions seems to have achieved little by way of reducing the number of stubs. Lincolnshire has an active project, and it makes sense to me to associate the articles more closely with the area people identify with than with discredited 1960s government pipedreams.

I have already found 41 members and have covered less than half of the historic routes. My plan was to build a list, then arm myself with some histories and work toward knocking them off.

I am also keen to have some sort of rational view of what is required for an article about a closed railway station. Thee amount of WP'ble info that exists for e.g. Braceborough_Spa_Halt_railway_station may well not exceed what is there already, and with the evidence of a stub list the Lincolnshire project would be free to decide that such articles may be complete enough.

Thus the stub list could be emptied in 2 or 3 years, which would be more useful than what is happening now.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 06:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I would suggest a tempalte upmerged to and whihcever of 'East midlands' and Yorkshire & humberside' it should really belong to till we get 60 then I see no reason not going for the category. Waacstats (talk) 11:40, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Railway station stubs in England are presently broken down by region (which is not "a discredited 1960s government pipedream" but a legally-defined area in current usage). Ceremonial Lincolnshire (the area covered by WikiProject Lincolnshire) is split between two regions because regional boundaries are drawn along post-1974 county boundaries; the present-day non-metropolitan county of Lincolnshire falls entirely within East Midlands (for which we have and, with 332 members); to the north of the non-metropolitan county of Lincolnshire lie the unitary authorities North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, which between 1974 and 1996 were part of the County of Humberside, and so they are in Yorkshire and the Humber (for which we have  and , with 474 members). See also WP:UKCOUNTIES.
 * Prior to the creation on 27 January 2011 of (and  which presently has 41 members), the only existing subdivisions of any of these regions were:  ( presently has 208 members);  ( presently has 91 members);  ( presently has 84 members).
 * There is no present (or even ) to which these could be upmerged. The best would be  (already populated by . But even if this is done, the articles so tagged should still be reachable through the tree rooted at . -- Red rose64 (talk) 15:53, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I must say that I( tend to agree with Redrose's comments. Robert, I suggest that this is yet another case where assessment templates make far more sense than stub templates (as explained at WP:STUB. A general Lincolnshire-stub/ would certainly make sense, though. Grutness...wha?  18:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

This is a new taxonomic classification as of last year for the Heterobranchia. Proposing this as a parent-only category that will pull in, , and {[cl|Planorbidae stubs}} as well as most of the templates currently found under. Dawynn (talk) 14:28, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

oops! I didn't realize that we had to propose the creation of stubs beforehand. So it's already created but I think I should still put here. Peaceworld111 (talk) 21:44, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ahmadiyya-stub Main article Ahmadiyya
 * No objection to the template, but it looks like there will be serious problems in this getting to the required 60-stub threshold... the category may need to be upmerged. Grutness...wha?  21:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support template - could be useful. I don't think the category will be just yet, though. --- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Split of
Time to breakdown yet another overlarge category. As I did with the, so I would like to do here. I'd like to use parent-only subcategories for further sorting. All tagging will either be at the Heterobranchia level (for smaller families), or at the family level. I propose the following splits at this time: Dawynn (talk) 13:08, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * . Aplysiidae-stub, Hermaeidae-stub, and Limapontiidae-stub will reside here.
 * ., , and , as well as a few templates will reside here.

 * Further review showed that Opisthobranchia and Pulmonata are no longer supported under the 2010 taxonomy scheme.  These will not be created. Dawynn (talk) 14:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Cetacean stubs
I propose creating - we now have 45 articles tagged as paleo-whale-stub and 19 as whale-stub, giving a total of 64 articles for this category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:06, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Canadian Internet Company Stub
There is no Canadian Internet Company Stub, although there is a US Internet Company Stub, per:
 * US-internet-company-stub

I have seen some instances where Canadian technology companies in general, including Internet companies have been falsely tagged as US Company stubs. If there is a US Internet Company stub, then, presumably, there should be for other countries too where there is a significant technology sector. (How many technology related sectors does Wikipedia recognize?) Enquire (talk) 07:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If you see any falsely tagged with a US-related stub, then simply change them to Canada-company-stub. Yes, a Canada-internet-company-stub might be worthwhile, and I don't think anyone here would oppose the creation of one, but it's not really dependent on the size of the technology sector - what's more important is the number of stubs which exist which are likely to use the template and how significantly it will reduce the usage of other templates. If there are 1000 internet companies in Canada but only ojne of them has a stub article, there's little point in making the templ,ate - if there are a considerable number, though, it would be worthwhile. How many Canadian internet companies are there with stub articles, approximately? Grutness...wha?  07:52, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

split of
Oversized (for now) sorting will reduce it but as we already have Scottish and English I think the following will be of use categories only if we have at least 60.Waacstats (talk) 22:12, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Cocculiniformia-stub
Proposal for a template for this clade under. I don't believe that there are enough articles for now to justify a category, but would like to separate these from the general gastropod template. Dawynn (talk) 13:45, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Category:Social scientist stubs
I propose creating this category, as a stub category for.

Further split of
Proposing a further split of the Caenogastropoda, using the same major splits as the main category : Dawynn (talk) 11:51, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Architaenioglossa-stub / . Would pick up Cyclophoridae-stub.  May need to bypass this for now, unless another 6 articles can be found.
 * Hypsogastropoda-stub / . Would pick up several stub categories, including the over-sized, , , and.
 * Sorbeoconcha-stub / . Would pick up several smaller families, most too small for their own category, as well as,  and.
 * I was overlooking some things. The Architaenioglossa category would also pick up Ampullariidae-stub, Viviparidae-stub, and .  So, a category is justified. Dawynn (talk) 12:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Support -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:16, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * In order to cut down on cross project fighting, I'm choosing to make these parent-only stub categories for now. The mollusc / gastropod projects have indicated that they would rather not stub at any levels outside of families.  By creating parent-only categories, we can keep our categories to a minimum, while allowing them to keep stubbing just at family-level. Dawynn (talk) 03:41, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

European television stubs
Making a start here, will be back with a few more as the process goes on. 690 articles in with some big countries not having their own stubs, and some upmerged templates above threshold.

Airsoft stub
About 13 stubs that don't have any real classification because they aren't firearms and using the "technology" stub is the only one that fits. If we could have an airsoft one it could help.


 * An upmerged template might be useful, but there are too few stubs for a separate category. Porblem is, where would we upmerge it to? Any suggestions, anyone? Grutness...wha?  04:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Hm... Is there a section for extreme sports? Or shooting sports? What is paintball listed under? TheFSAviator ( T &bull; C ) 22:59, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point, we don't have one for extreme sports, though that's a pretty amorphous category with everything from paintball to bungy to paragliding... There'd probably be enough stubs for a category, and certainly a template - possibly extreme-sport-stub - though how to define it might be a problem. Grutness...wha?  21:59, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Split of
In the spirit of, I'd like to propose the following: Building templates with these categories will allow us to move articles that may have families too small to even bother with templates at the family level. Ultimately, this should allow us to bring the Gastropods down to a reasonable level. Dawynn (talk) 17:13, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Caenogastropoda-stub /
 * Will pick up several categories, including the very large, and
 * Vetigastropoda-stub /
 * Will pick up some categories, including the mid-sized, , and
 * Support stub-sorting. Oppose gastropods.  (Yecch.) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

further subcategorize Croatia geography stubs
We now already have stub templates for each of the 21 Counties of Croatia, but 4 categories within Category:Croatia geography stubs. Does anyone mind if I split them up? --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - I don't mind in the least. :-) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:57, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Here's the statistic - now updated after sorting --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 15:25, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Most meet the speedy criteria already, there is potential for other immediate upgrades (237+91 are still left in generic categories), and it should all be done purely for the sake of consistency anyway. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 23:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

New division level splits for
Based on this discusion, I'd like to propose the following Division level splits. Per the discussion, there will be no division templates:
 * will pick up
 *  (67 articles)
 *  (41)
 *  (5)
 *  (37)
 *  (35)
 *  (59)
 *  (2)
 *  (36)
 *  (54)
 *  (54)

I will point out that the indicated discussion is from 2007, and only one of the divisions have been created so far. Further, although a category exists for Mysore, none of its districts have been moved under it. Is this just a matter where the work hasn't been completed? Or has there been a change in thinking of how the Indian states should be split? Dawynn (talk) 16:27, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Category: Ibis-related stubs
We have some for other birds already, so why not? (75.189.148.4 (talk) 16:50, 11 January 2011 (UTC))
 * Birds are divided by order - Ibises are covered by Ciconiiformes-stub - which is only marginally large enough for its own stub category. In any case, the permanent category for ibises only has about 40 articles, so even if all of them were stubs there wouldn't be enough for a separate stub category.

 * Wouldn't charities come under US-philanthropic-org-stubs, I asssume the US-trade-org-stub is for organisations linking people of the same trade i.e lawyers assoc. etc but could possibly do with another name so not to confuse with trade-union-stubs otherwise everything seems OK. Waacstats (talk) 23:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point about the trade ones (and you're right about what I was intending with them)... as for the charity ones, US-philanthropy-org-stub would be the name - and already seems to exist (the generic parent used to be at charity-org-stub, but seems to have been moved at some point to philanthropy-org-stub... a redirect at US-charity-org-stub is probably worthwhile) Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  09:19, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
