Proposals, March 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.

Hydrology
Propose a hydrology-stub template and category for hydrology. Currently some of these are under geology and others under engineering. There are currently at least 70 stubs under 512 in size, not counting the 19 water-supply-stubs categorized under Hydrology. The water-supply-stubs would presumably be a subcategory. --Bejnar (talk) 01:28, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * For example Drainage density is currently stub-tagged under geomorphology, and not categorized under hydrology at all. --Bejnar (talk) 01:50, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I think that this would be useful: hydrology articles cross forestry, geology, civil engineering, ecology, ... so a particular stub category should help interested Wikipedians find articles that need work within this very interdisciplinary topic. Awickert (talk) 04:22, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Addiction & recovery stubs
This is a stub that seem usefuls to add to the collection: The current category for Addiction is sparse. There seems to be a great amount of work on Addiction left to be done. - Wikiworld2 (talk) 14:12, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Addiction-recovery-stub

Found and moved from the archived January 2012 page. SeveroTC 07:51, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Reject: There are less than 60 articles in the whole Addiction category tree which have less than 1000 bytes, and only a small minority of these actually have anything to do with addiction or recovery - most are only in the addiction tree because is part of the tree. There are only 2 or 3 stubs I could find which would use this stub tag, and those would be better off with something like Treatment-stub. --Qetuth (talk) 10:12, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

American Revolutionary War
The American Revolutionary War task force currently has 386 stubs. Proposing to create the following: which would be subcategories of Category:United States military history stubs and Category:American Revolutionary War. Wild Wolf (talk) 22:04, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * AmericanRevolutionaryWar-stub and Category:American Revolutionary War stubs
 * Support, but not certain about the stub name: Usually we use US in place of American in a stub name, but 'American Revolutionary' is the actual name of the war - never mind, matches format of AmericanCivilWar-stub. A quick glance through the stub list shows many either do not have a stub tag at all or have one unrelated to the military (such as just a statename-stub), so this definitely seems needed. --Qetuth (talk) 00:00, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - necessary. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:58, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Split of
Recently, the Virginia geography stubs were split into unrequested categories, most of which are undersized. I propose a different split, by region, based on this map. There are three categories already built which have been organized to align with the map:
 * (covers the Blue Ridge Highlands and Heart of Appalachia regions)
 * (covers the Blue Ridge Highlands and Heart of Appalachia regions)

I propose the following additional Parent-only categories:
 * (179 P)
 * (31 P)
 * (3 P)
 * (19 P)
 * (52 P)
 * (4 P)
 * (16 P)
 * (25 P)
 * (9 P)
 * (31 P)
 * (4 P)
 * (22 P)
 * (7 P)
 * (11 P)
 * (8 P)
 * (70 P)
 * (2 P)
 * (12 P)
 * (33 P)
 * (22 P)
 * (8 P)
 * (6 P)
 * (5 P)

 * CharlottesvilleVA-geo-stub
 * ColonialHeightsVA-geo-stub
 * HopewellVA-geo-stub
 * LynchburgVA-geo-stub
 * PetersburgVA-geo-stub
 * PetersburgVA-geo-stub


 * (52 P)
 * (44 P)
 * (1 C, 166 P)
 * I would propose deleting this category and migrating all internals to Chesapeake Bay.
 * (86 P)
 * (3 P)
 * (95 P)
 * (60 P)
 * (60 P)


 * (9 P)
 * (6 P)
 * (12 P)
 * (100 P)
 * I would propose deleting this category and migrating all internals to Hampton Roads.

 * (68 P)
 * (7 P)
 * (2 P)
 * (9 P)
 * (2 P)
 * (10 P)
 * (125 P)
 * DanvilleVA-geo-stub
 * EmporiaVA-geo-stub
 * HenryVA-geo-stub
 * MartinsvilleVA-geo-stub
 * MartinsvilleVA-geo-stub

Which leaves the Eastern Shore without a separate category. But since it only has two counties, both of which support a separate category, I'm not concerned about a regional category. Dawynn (talk) 18:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support all (y'all). -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Divisions of American writer stubs
--Qetuth (talk) 23:16, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * US-bio-writer-stub and - child of, for those who write a US-bio-book-stub. This should absorb several hundred articles out of both  and , both of which are oversized.
 * US-music-journalist-stub and if 60 found, as a child of both  (oversized) and
 * US-novelist-1990s-stub - every other decade since 1800 exists, and clearly this will grow.
 * Support all. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:17, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Split of
Propose district-level splits. Current article listing should allow for roughly 80 articles per district. Dawynn (talk) 13:22, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Dawynn, I see the category tree for isn't very good - if this can be improved, I can run all these through my bot. Alternatively, a list of articles for each template will do. SeveroTC 11:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Split of
These genera each take up more than a column on a page of 200 articles for this family: Dawynn (talk) 13:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

American Civil War stubs
Category:American Civil War stubs currently has 1,255 stubs, several hundred of which are biographies. Proposing to create the following: Wild Wolf (talk) 14:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * AmericanCivilWar-bio-stub and Category:American Civil War biography stubs.
 * Agree, but stub name should be AmericanCivilWar-bio-stub (all bio stubs use -bio-). It can have both and  as parents. --Qetuth (talk) 00:05, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support with revised names. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:20, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Partial split of Pennsylvania NRHP by county
has over 1500 pages. Propose creating the following, using the same naming scheme as other states:
 * AlleghenyPA-NRHP-stub and (120+ stubs including both Allegheny and Pittsburgh NRHP lists)
 * CentrePA-NRHP-stub and if needed (about 50 stubs)
 * DauphinPA-NRHP-stub and if needed (about 50 stubs)
 * DelawarePA-NRHP-stub and if needed (about 70 stubs)
 * FayettePA-NRHP-stub and if needed (about 50 stubs)
 * FranklinPA-NRHP-stub and if needed (about 60 stubs)
 * LancasterPA-NRHP-stub and (about 130 stubs)
 * PhiladelphiaPA-NRHP-stub and (had trouble searching, but 533 places on list so should be plenty)
 * WashingtonPA-NRHP-stub and (about 80 stubs)
 * YorkPA-NRHP-stub and (about 90 stubs)

Additionally, upmerged stubs for counties with large NRHP lists of mostly redlinks:
 * BerksPA-NRHP-stub (130 places, 14 stubs)
 * BucksPA-NRHP-stub (160 places, 26 stubs)
 * MontgomeryPA-NRHP-stub (150 places, 14 stubs)

This should be enough to get the parent under 1000. --Qetuth (talk) 17:49, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support all. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 22:18, 2 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Support, just a common-sense move. Nyttend (talk) 11:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Propose new category for the defined Milwaukee metropolitan area. Would include Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, and Ozaukee counties. This will pull just a small piece out of the oversized, but it's a start. Dawynn (talk) 13:45, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * MilwaukeeWI-geo-stub (12 P)
 * OzaukeeWI-geo-stub (11 P)
