Proposals, January 2012
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.

Weightlifting biography stubs
Propose the following templates: COL in the main stub cat, BUL and FRA in the European one, RUS and TUR in both European and Asian. The Russia one could hit 60, if so:. SeveroTC 15:59, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

All should be speediable. SeveroTC 12:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Cross-country skiers and biathletes
The following upmerged templates seem useful to add to the collection: And: I'm not sure if or how much of an overlap there is between these two sets so I will postpone proposing categories until they've been sorted. All speediable. SeveroTC 11:59, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Ski jumping bio stubs
Propose templates and iff 60 (CatScan showing there or thereabouts) for: Some others won't have enough articles for categories (sub-60 in the permcat) and only currently 20-30 tagged articles for each, so a little smallish, but it seems worthwhile to create these templates now while I'm doing the job: Alread we have one subcat here (Norway) and a couple of upmerged templates so it's speediable.

Split of
Reference Municipalities of Republika Srpska. According to this article, there are 63 official municipalities in this area of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These are divided into 7 non-administrative regions. I propose building templates for all 63 municipalities, to be upmerged into the 7 parent-only region categories. I suspect a few of the municipalities may reach full category size, but that can be handled later.

Although does not appear to need such a split at this time, its parent category,, is oversized. Many of those articles belong in Republika Srpska and have been waiting for an approved system of splits. Dawynn (talk) 14:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. I just need to get this done.  As in the previous request, I'll build the templates for now, and leave the regions out.

Concert Tours
Propose creation of Music-concert-tour-stub. Currently there is a newly created article for Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour tagged with a generic music article stub. My thoughts are that it would be helpful to have a specific category for concert tour stubs. Stubbleboy 19:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * / Music-concert-tour-stub
 * We already have Music-event-stub which doesn't yet require a split. SeveroTC 13:47, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Relisting with a different proposed category. This is a request for a category for this template: UKward-geo-stub. According to the current placement and template text, this is about the electoral wards, not geography. Dawynn (talk) 11:09, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Support'. SeveroTC 08:58, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Split of
Yep, there's a pattern developing. The majority of nations that compete under the European Athletic Association have at least a template, although I do not see where the majority of these were ever officially approved. Consider this both a discovery request for approval for all the templates currently built, as well as a request to finish the job. Propose the creation of the following templates: Dawynn (talk) 11:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Similar story. The majority of nations that compete under the Confederation of African Athletics have at least a template, although I do not see where the majority of these were ever officially approved. Consider this both a discovery request for approval for all the templates currently built, as well as a request to finish the job. Propose the creation of the following template: Dawynn (talk) 11:07, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Sports car racing stubs
Would be a sub-category of Category:Auto_racing_stubs. Minimum 60 articles. --Sabre ball (talk) 15:01, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Support template. Category only if template can be tagged on 60+ articles.  Propose template of sportscar-racing-stub.  Suggest waiting for others to review template name before creating. Dawynn (talk) 13:47, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * We split by other types of racing so I don't see a problem with this line of split. I'd go for sporscar-autoracing-stub though - a child of autoracing-stub and I think we done away with the -racing- stem somewhere along the line. SeveroTC 09:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * (I'm going to guess Severo meant sportscar-autoracing-stub.) Dawynn (talk) 10:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

General category request: invention-stub
As editors of technology and invention related articles have discovered, there's currently no stub category covering short articles related to inventions. The closest stub category appears to be, which is completely vague. A number of short invention-related articles could use this category. Best: HarryZilber (talk) 16:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Invention-stub doesn't sound a bad idea, wait for 60 articles though before creating . Any other ideas on how to cut down? SeveroTC 16:49, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Kosovar sports
Propose building Kosovo-sports-venue-stub. There are currently 5 Kosovar stadiums tagged with Europe-sports-venue-stub. And that will get us very close to a possible category. If I can find a few more articles, propose building : Dawynn (talk) 13:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
