Proposals, October 2011
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.

Category:European bridge (structure) stubs
Given that we have a category, we should probvably also have for any other continent, subject to there being enough stubs. And in the case of Europe, we already do - we have 35 Europe-bridge-struct-stubs and 56 Portugal-bridge-struct-stubs, as well as 2 well-populated subcategories. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:05, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I just checked out bridge-struct-stub and found 193 that could be tagged with Europe-bridge-struct-stub so that will definitely be viable, probably with some more country level templates but I haven't checked which ones will be good. Support templates for all other continents and categories iff 60. SeveroTC 16:02, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Only Russia-bridge-struct-stub and Sweden-bridge-struct-stub look viable at the moment, both in the low 40s. SeveroTC 15:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Corsica-stub, Corsica-struct-stub
Would be very useful.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:29, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - I have no objection. Unless they should be divided by department? -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:00, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Dominican Poets
I just think this one needed a category of it's own, Leopoldo Minaya being a good example as it's a poet stub and a dominican stub. Might as well just be both

Dom-poe-stub -
 * Oppose - I don't believe there are enough articles to support this now. Perhaps a "Caribbean-poet-stub"?  That one I'll look into. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:51, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Big Oppose to the template name, no reason to drop the t from poet and dom could be anything, and going on the perm cats it would be Dominica poet stubs, but as we don't even have a I don't think this is needed at the moment. Waacstats (talk) 21:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think it's meant to be poets from the Dominican Republic, so it would be under . Even so, I don't think it's viable.  Also, if that's a challenge to make  a viable stub category, perhaps I'll take you up on it. :-) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:07, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Category:Turkey geography stubs
I have been given warning by the evil Doctor that a lot of stubs on Turkish villages will soon be created so it would be an idea to create templates based on the provinces of turkey and categories iff they reach 60, so I propose the following; and any redirects excluding diacreticals if needed.

Category:European tunnel stubs

 * How many articles use (or would use) each of these templates? I picked a couple at random and their usage was well below 60, the usual threshold. I support both new templates, and conditionally support any category that would be at least 60 articles big. We already have a number of undersized subcategories in - 8 of 15 subcategories have less than 50 articles and another 4 are in the 50-59 range. SeveroTC 04:44, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

- 20 rural raion, 16 city, 15 setlement, 824 village

- 22 rural raion, 16 city, 29 setlement, 1483 village

- 22 rural raions, 20 city, 46 setlement, 1435 vilage

- not in Kiev Oblast, there are 10 urban raions, about 300 streets, about 400 schools and other

- 27 rural raions, 17 city, 61 setlement, 1680 village

- 18 rural raions, 9 city, 31 setlement, 658 village

- 20 rural raions, 13 city, 24 setlement, 1414 village

- 19 rural raions, 9 city, 17 setlement, 894 village

- 16 rural raions, 11 city, 16 setlement, 1000 village

- 18 rural raions, 15 city, 20 setlement, 1466 village

- 20 rural raions, 14 city, 22 setlement, 915 village

- not in Crimea, there are 4 urban raions, about 200 streets, about 75 schools and other

 * And how many of those are stubs? By all means tag away, but categories should wait until the template is used 60 times, and at the moment, none of them are:
 * Chernihiv-geo-stub 23
 * Dnipropetrovsk-geo-stub 20
 * KievCity-geo-stub 20
 * Kharkiv-geo-stub 26
 * Kherson-geo-stub 12
 * Khmelnytskyi-geo-stub 25
 * Mykolaiv-geo-stub 11
 * Rivne-geo-stub 31
 * Sumy-geo-stub 14
 * Zaporizhia-geo-stub 12
 * SeveroTC 05:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Support All templates. I anticipate growth in this area...♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:58, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose all the categories until they each reach the threshhold of 60. Anticipated groth is a reason for a stub tag (which would help figure out when we've reached 60), but not for a category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:57, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * If someone were to go about creating articles for every village (and my reading of administrative divisions of Ukraine is correct, it is slightly confusing), then templates on raion level would be the next step. For now though, there are not enough articles to go down that route. SeveroTC 09:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Support templates for now, categories as needed. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
