Category:Designer stubs
Hi people. I was taking a look at the. There is the template Design-bio-stub, which already covers 60 articles (and, looking at this scan, there is still place for making it grow a lot). So, what about creating a ? Regards, --Fadesga (talk) 20:39, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Category:Philatelist stubs
Hi people. As you can see, the Category:Post and philately stubs is very big (over 600 stubs there). At the same time, this search shows that there is enough room for the creation of a category:Philatelist stubs. What do you say? Regards, --Fabio Descalzi, aka Fadesga (talk) 14:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. Propose creating three templates:
 * US-philatelist-stub
 * UK-philatelist-stub
 * philatelist-stub (for all other countries)
 * For the time being, upmerge all three to the new category. I'm interested to see just how big this category grows before we build country sub-categories.  Dawynn (talk) 16:01, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Category:British football competition stubs
I see we have 3 of the natural children of the proposed category (, and ),, it seems odd we don't have the parent. I propose we create it, and possibly its templte (or should we just have it as a parent-only category?) עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:31, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It looks like the obvious corresponding permcats are all (currently) parent only (eg Category:Football competitions in the United Kingdom and Category:Football leagues in the United Kingdom). So it dosn't look like the template is strictly needed, but it always bugs me when I try to put a stub in a long-existing stub category and can't because it's parent only (it seems to happen at least once a week). So, either way... --Qetuth (talk) 12:44, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Some stub types for Catalonia
I propose the following: עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 19:31, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

 * /Catalonia-rail-transport-stub - 146 stubs, including the already existing
 * /Catalonia-railstation-stub - 77 stubs
 * /Catalonia-struct-stub - 244 stubs, including Catalonia-airport-stub and mentioned above, and Catalonia-museum-stub and Catalonia-university-stub
 * Catalonia-sports-venue-stub(upmerged) - 42 stubs

Greece geography stubs by regions
The is already subcategorised into region stubs. Two regions are missing, and judging from the current contents of (332 articles), there are many articles that would fit there. Markussep Talk 12:17, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Our geography stubs use preserved counties, which seems strange to me, but I think geo and struct trees shouldn't be using different subdivision styles if avoidable. I'm not sure there is yet reason to split at all, with 172 articles in the main category over 22 counties coming out with less than 8 avg per tag, and churches an easy split-off if needed. --Qetuth (talk) 04:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You're forgetting that I'm around..♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  22:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * As below - if you're the one that's going to be doing most of the work in the area, I trust your judgement, but we've previously gone with a different way of dividing Wales. --Qetuth (talk) 23:23, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You state "our geography stubs use preserved counties, which seems strange to me, but I think geo and struct trees shouldn't be using different subdivision styles if avoidable" - I've checked, and although preserved counties are used for the stub cats, the stub templates are all named after the Principal areas of Wales, and that seems to be the scheme requested by here. -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Support (disclosure: I've been asked about this by at User talk:Redrose64) I don't have any objection, but I do have some observations. First, I think that we should hold off on creating the county categories; they can all upmerge to  until there are sufficient pages using each template. Second, I would like the names to be consistent with those used to populate subcats of  - at present there are two discrepancies:  is suggested above, but the existing -geo- template is ;  is suggested above, but there is no . -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:18, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes for some counties at present there might be half a dozen at present max, but I intended creating a few stubs on Grade I listed buildings. If you consider that the Vale of Glamorgan alone has over 700 listed buildings I can assure that there will be plenty of stubs by county to make it worthwhile! Its just quite a few times I've created a stub and been surprised that Powys-struct-stub for example didn't exist!♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:25, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Minor point: they should have dashs not spaces before stub. I know Victoria (Australia) gets stub tagged as VictoriaAU, so maybe append ES when it's needed? After checking, it looks like we do that already for LaRiojaES-geo-stub but thre is no prior Guadalajara stub tag as it is covered by CastileLaMancha-geo-stub. I notice this list is a lot more extensive than the geography categories, eg A Coruna, Lugo etc are grouped under Galicia-geo-stub, and many others are similarly collected by autonomous community rather than province. I don't know how many articles you are making, but it would currently average less than 10 articles per province. Is a full by province split the best idea when it is already largely split by building type (and Catalonia), or would by Autonomous community to match the geography cats do the job better? --Qetuth (talk) 04:12, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Well, you have a better idea than me about the scope of growth (obviously) - I was just pointing out that there were two possible ways to split up Spain and we've previously gone with the other one. If you believe province is better, I'll trust you on that. --Qetuth (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Please review main article FIBA Americas. Looks like most everything not already included in the two subcategories could be moved to this new category. This would effectively create the third subdivision for the Americas, including all of the CONCECABA nations. Propose the following new categories and templates: The following would move into the new category: Finally, any articles found in NorthAm-basketball-bio-stub would be reviewed for a move to one of the new templates (or to the NorthAm, or SouthAm template), depending on the nationality of each bio.
