split
I know I have been away for a while so just checking are we still splitting oversized US catgeories in the following way?

Oversized and that is with the templates that don't make 60. Waacstats (talk) 14:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - that's the way to go with US regional stub categories which get too big. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:21, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Speedys
A few templates I found that are over the 60 thresh-hold, I propose the relevant categories
 * Russia-judo-bio-stub -
 * France-wrestling-bio-stub -
 * also the templates that would upmerge to have a total of 60 so propose that as well
 * Finally with the Nicaragua category above that just leaves Belize in Central America with out the appropriate category, given the dispersal of these articles I propose we add this category, despite it not reaching 60 just to tidy it up a bit.

Waacstats (talk) 14:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. Dawynn (talk) 12:54, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Not quite speedies
ono my travels I have found these sport related template/categories would help reduce large (not oversized) categories or tidy up others.
 * France-athletics-Olympic-medalist-stub -
 * France-cycling-Olympic-medalist-stub -
 * Germany-cycling-Olympic-medalist-stub - (should this be canoeing?
 * Acrobatic-gymnastics-bio-stub -.

Hope no one minds, that i lobbed these in one proposal
 * Support. For the German proposal, I would use canoeing, because of similar rowing and sailing categories.  But I would also change the template to Germany-canoe-Olympic-medalist-stub.  Dawynn (talk) 13:07, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * well spotted on the template mix up.Waacstats (talk) 21:46, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Category:Nigeria geography stubs is already large in size. And since the stub template for Rivers State locations exists, I propose the creation of Category:Rivers State geography stubs. There are about 60 articles on places in the state. Stanleytux (talk) 21:00, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy - what you mean to say is that tere are 60 articles tagged with the relevant stub tags. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:06, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Rename Paralympics-stub
Given that the medalists are at Paralympic-medalist-stub and all the Olympics categories use Olympic-stub Before I complete my earlier proposal on splitting this I propse we rename this Paralympic-stub and then the proposal below follows suit. Just incase anyone hasn't followed I am proposing going from plural to singular. If there is somewhere else that this should be posted please let me know.Waacstats (talk) 00:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Gug01 (talk) 15:57, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Split of
Another oversized category, per catscan the following are viable
 * Norway-year-stub -
 * India-year-stub -
 * Ireland-year-stub -

not 100% sure about the names but the best I can come up with. Waacstats (talk) 23:55, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

split of
Not a part of the world I am familiar with but per the permanent category and catscan the following should be viable:
 * BowmanCoast-geo-stub -
 * DavisCoast-geo-stub -
 * FoynCoast-geo-stub -
 * JamesRossIsland-geo-stub -
 * JoinvilleIsland-geo-stub -
 * LoubetCoast-geo-stub -
 * NordenskjöldCoast-geo-stub -
 * OscarIICoast-geo-stub -

Categories for all that reach 60 which I think should be all bar the Davis Coast. Waacstats (talk) 21:07, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:02, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

1930s film stubs split
I propose 1930s-UK-comedy-film-stub and, as both parents and  are overpopulated and there are 250 tagged with both categories. Waacstats (talk) 10:08, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support, as well as any for otrher countries where there are enough stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:04, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

currently third largest stub category. The main split of the non stub parent seems to be by nation so I propose the following which catscan suggests would be large enough.
 * - France-geologic-formation-stub
 * - Germany-geologic-formation-stub
 * - Norway-geologic-formation-stub
 * - Canada-geologic-formation-stub
 * - UK-geologic-formation-stub
 * - US-geologic-formation-stub

as the US category would take over half of these, I propose templates for each state and subcategories for any state that reaches 60 along the lines of
 * - Texas-geologic-formation-stub

taking the geo categories and templates as the basis for state names (ie GeorgiaUS and Georgia (U.S. state)). Waacstats (talk) 02:33, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * For the categories, shouldn't we go with the "Foo geologic formation stub", tomatch other regional stub categories? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Good point I'll go with that. Waacstats (talk) 13:36, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Fifth largest stub type, 2525 articles, and with no previous split. With other countries we have gone by geographic region represented (not very often given), parliment (vast majority are from the chamber of deputies) or party. I suggest a split by party similar to Germany and France if memory serves, this would give us
 * - Mexico-politician-NationalAction-stub (723 per catscan)
 * - Mexico-politician-InstitutionalRevolutionary-stub (950 per catscan)
 * - Mexico-politician-DemocraticRevolution-stub (464 per catscan)
 * - Mexico-politician-EcologistGreen-stub (106 per catscan)
 * - Mexico-politician-Citizens'Movement-stub (62 per catscan)

Any better suggestions greatly appreciated. if we go with this I would suggest splitting the Institutional revolutionary stubs by dob, but lets cut this down and check the figures first. Waacstats (talk) 01:54, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

oversized, main split of non stub parent appears to be by county so I propose
 * Akershus-church-stub -
 * AustAgder-church-stub -
 * BouvetIsland-church-stub -
 * Buskerud-church-stub -
 * Finnmark-church-stub -
 * Hedmark-church-stub -
 * Hordaland-church-stub -

 * Support. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:57, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

split
Per catscan there are over 100 articles in which have Norway-bio-stub so I propose Waacstats (talk) 21:31, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Norway-gov-bio-stub -

split
I've had a quick look through this overpopulated category and can't see any obvious by country split so propose Should atleast cut it down a bit. Waacstats (talk) 19:14, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Europe-pageant-bio-stub -
 * Asia-pageant-bio-stub -
 * Amended to correct category name and matching new subtypes
 * Support - templates, as well as categories if there are enough. I eould also go for North America (US cateogry is well populated) and South America (Venezuela is only 4 short of a full-sized cat). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

yet another speedy
Replace three oversized categories with one, Pakistan-railstation-stub is upmerged but has over 1000 uses so I think it might just be time to create and then look at splitting it.Waacstats (talk) 22:59, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Another speedy
Norway-biathlon-bio-stub has passed 60 uses so I propose. Waacstats (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Cat has passed 700 so I propose splitting along the same lines as other football biography stubs Categories only for those templates that reach 60. Waacstats (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Austria-footy-goalkeeper-stub -
 * Austria-footy-defender-stub -
 * Austria-footy-midfielder-stub -
 * Austria-footy-forward-stub -

Split
Oversized category and Netherlands-yachtracing-bio-stub has over 100 articles, easy solution is to create. Waacstats (talk) 01:19, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Split of
Category is classed as large so would like to break this down in the same way as 1980 cat, by year of birth do we would have the following templates with categories for those that reach 60 Waacstats (talk) 01:08, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Russia-footy-midfielder-1990-stub -

 * Russia-footy-midfielder-1997-stub -
 * Russia-footy-midfielder-1998-stub -
 * Russia-footy-midfielder-1999-stub -

Categrory is large so I would like to prose a split similar to the Olympics stubs so we would have a separate category for populated by Winter-Paralympics-stub and 2014-winter-Paralympics-stub, 2010-winter-Paralympics-stub etc with categories along the lines of  for any template that reaches 60. Also, etc with similar matching categories along the lines of  for any that reach 60. Waacstats (talk) 01:01, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

 * - Argentina-athletics-bio-stub
 * - Kenya-footy-bio-stub
 * - Uganda-footy-bio-stub
 * - Japan-footy-midfielder-1990s-stub

Split of
Category is up to 700 would like to propose a split by date of birth along the lines of Categrories only for those where the template reaches 60 as I haven't done a full count. Waacstats (talk) 00:27, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

More splits for
Looks like the following are at least worthy of an upmerged template. The numbers are the articles in the permanent category. Expecting the majority to also qualify as stubs. Dawynn (talk) 11:31, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Achrysonini-stub‎ (39 P)
 * Graciliini‎-stub (34 P)
 * Oemini‎-stub / (123 P)
 * Pteroplatini‎-stub (33 P)
 * Tillomorphini‎-stub / (106 P)
