Split of Category:United States rail transportation stubs
I propose splitting by state - giving each state a tag and, where there are at least 60 stubs, a category. I aslso propose that we split the country into 4 regions (as we already do for other stub category types, including the child ). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I see that many of the pages concern railroad companies. I expect that quite a few of these crossed state lines; is the intention to apply two or more stub templates (one per state traversed) to these? -- Red rose64 (talk) 11:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Many of these referf to lines or companies within a single state. And anything which mainly belongs to a single state, but crosses state lines, I thinik should also be tagged for that state. Of about a dozen I sampled, only one crosses state lines. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:27, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

[//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Proposals/2010/November#.7B.7BWashingtonDC-politician-stub.7D.7D The WashingtonDC-politician-stub was proposed back in 2010] ... and these stub articles don't show up in the Category:Washington, D.C. stubs now, as if they don't exist. What happened? Djembayz (talk) 22:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Please note that the cat proposed was, not . As to what happened, the proposal was that the cat should be created at 60+ articles; but presently, is [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:WashingtonDC-politician-stub&hidelinks=1 used on 41 pages] (not all are articles, either). -- Red rose64 (talk) 00:14, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explanation. Do we repost when it gets to 60 articles? Djembayz (talk) 14:17, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I make the current count 62 articles; so yes, I would say it's ready. -- Red rose64 (talk) 15:20, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Someone created this as instead.  Dawynn (talk) 13:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Category:United States light rail stubs
I propose /US-tram-stub (category name is per ENGVAR, based on permcatr names) - has 187 articles tagged with tram-stub, as well as 128 other articles (total of 315) tagged as stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:18, 2 February 2014 (UTC) Support. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:20, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Propose / eulimidae-stub. Nearly 600 articles in the perm cat.

Also propose child category / eulima-stub, as this genus has over 150 stub articles. Dawynn (talk) 20:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

German football stub templates
Speedy proposal. German footballers stubs are split into both position and decade, but these three upmerged templates are missing. Mentoz (talk) 21:22, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Germany-footy-defender-1890s-stub
 * Germany-footy-forward-1880s-stub
 * Germany-footy-forward-1890s-stub
 * How many pages will these be used on? How are they stubbed at the moment? I take it that the intention is to have upmerged categories like /////. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:30, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Of the articles that are currently stub-sorted with Germany-footy-defender-stub or Germany-footy-forward-stub, there are approx 5-8 articles that will fit in each of the proposed templates, but there are more than 900 articles that use Germany-footy-bio-stub, so I guess it can be used on some more. Yes, they are intended to work like those other templates. Mentoz (talk) 09:16, 31 January 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, Support. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. --Fadesga (talk) 02:39, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support all. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:20, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy proposal. Considering that US-stage-actor-stub redirects over to US-theat-actor-stub, we already have two established sub-categories, along with a few other templates to add here. Will pick up: Dawynn (talk) 12:39, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * stage-actor-stub (6 P)
 * (2 C, 203 P)
 * (132 P)
 * Canada-stage-actor-stub (44 P)
 * France-stage-actor-stub (37 P)
 * Germany-stage-actor-stub (34 P)

Category:Roman gentes stubs
There is a huge with over 550 stubs. I propose the creation of a stub template Roman-gens-stub and its corresponding - please see this scan: 76 stubs. Regards, --Fadesga (talk) 22:31, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * No objections => category created. --Fadesga (talk) 02:38, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Category:Spanish journalist stubs
I propose creating - Spain-journalist-stub already has 53 transclusions, and a quick scan finds 87 relevant stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. Now there are 61 transclusions. Regards, --Fadesga (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Category:Arctiidae stubs split
is well over 3000 articles, and the permanent itself is similarly oversized. Splitting this category into subfamilies results in two oversized subfamilies. There are a few genera that could support a category of their own, but I would propose a tribe-level split to help tame these categories. Propose all of the following templates, with categories for any that pass the 60 article barrier. My intent is to also build similar tribe-level permanent categories.

Dawynn (talk) 12:32, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * / Amerilini-stub
 * Amerila is the only genus here. Amerila has enough for a category (~ 60 articles).  Build as tribe to keep consistent category levels.
 * / Arctiini-stub
 * / Paracles-stub ~ 75 articles
 * / Callimorphini-stub
 * / Euchaetini-stub
 * / Micrarctiini-stub
 * / Nyctemerini-stub
 * / Phaegopterini-stub
 * / Spilosomini-stub
 * Not seeking a tribe-level split yet. But propose the following genus-level categories.
 * / Ceryx-stub ~ 125 articles
 * / Eucereon-stub ~ 65 articles
 * / Cosmosoma-stub ~ 80 articles
 * / Acsalini-stub
 * / Cisthenini-stub
 * / Eugoa-stub ~ 80 articles
 * / Endrosini-stub
 * / Eudesmiini-stub
 * / Lithosiini-stub
 * / Eilema-stub ~ 150 articles
 * / Nudariini-stub
 * / Asura-stub ~ 200 articles
 * / Cyana-stub ~ 75 articles
 * / Phryganopterygini-stub
 * / Asura-stub ~ 200 articles
 * / Cyana-stub ~ 75 articles
 * / Phryganopterygini-stub
 * Support as needed. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:05, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Category:Texas school stubs split
I propose / Texas-high-school-stub and  / Texas-school-district-stub to deal with the bulk of this parent category that has almost a thousand pages. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 20:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Support 2x templates and 2x categories. A quick glance shows that there are indeed well over 900 articles, and that the majority are School Districts, with High Schools a close second. I take it that Middle Schools and Elementary Schools will remain where they are. -- Red rose64 (talk) 21:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought I might start with the two big ones, since the terminology in Texas gets confusing around middle school, intermediate school and junior high school - and since there are fewer of these articles. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 01:32, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Category:Prehistoric mammal stubs split
is over 400 pages. We currently have 2 upmerged templates - paleo-primate-stub with 57 transclusions, and paleo-whale-stub with 67 transclusions. I think we should give each of them a category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 18:48, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Category:Prehistoric insect stubs
I propose /paleo-insect-stub - a quick scan finds 129 stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 17:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

/ Azacycloalkene-stub
Propose building this category under parent. There are over 60 articles dispersed over, and subcategories. Plasmic Physics (talk) 01:55, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - get consensus first what should go in here. --Dirk Beetstra T  C 06:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Split of
Propose finishing the split of along subfamily lines: The Arctiidae stub category is currently the 2nd largest stub category weighing in at over 3600 articles and growing. Dawynn (talk) 12:22, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * (existing)
 * / Ctenuchinae-stub
 * Already viable, as this will be parent for the existing
 * (existing)
 * / Pericopinae-stub
 * Propose building template first, and category once the template surpasses 60 articles.
 * Support all tags, and subcats where there are at least 45 stubs (given the size of the parent cat). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy proposal. To pick up 2010s-punk-rock-album-stub which now has 64 articles. Dawynn (talk) 13:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Support if you're right about the size. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 18:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

/ Cycloalkene-stub
Propose building this category under parent. There are over 60 articles dispersed over and subcategories. Plasmic Physics (talk) 00:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - get consensus first for what should go in here. --Dirk Beetstra T  C 06:38, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Plasmic Physics has dumped a bunch of articles into the cycloalkene stub category, many of which are not cycloalkenes. This has generated a lot of work in reverting back into the broader organic compound stub.  This categorization also makes little sense to me and others at the Chemistry WikiProject.  EdChem (talk) 14:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

/ Anthelidae-stub
Propose building this category under parent. There are just over 60 articles for genus Anthela sitting in. Dawynn (talk) 14:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

/ Acrolophidae-stub
Propose building this category under parent. There are over 200 articles for genus Acrolophus currently sitting in. Dawynn (talk) 14:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
