Category:German football forward stubs speedy category
The 1990s birth template has gone over 60 articles. I suggest creating Category German football forward, 1990s birth stubs‎ since the template has already been created. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:41, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support as an existing template with enough uses for a category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:32, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Created. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:43, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Category:United States sport stubs split
I propose creating state tags for this cateory, and categories for any state with enough stubs (this would include any state with a full-sized sports venue category) and for the 4 regions (based on the tree). In addition to venues, this would include sports teams, major compititions, etc. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 05:44, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Category:Chicago, Illinois railway station stubs
I'm in the middle of sorting out, and I've passed 200. One possible subcat which seems obvious here is /Chicago-railstation-stub, which already has 59 stubs and will probably go higher - a likely scan gives 82. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:17, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Upmerge template for Category: German football forward stubs
While sorting these stubs, I've noticed that there are some German footballers in this category who were born in the 1880s. They are currently tagged with Germany-footy-forward-stub. Since there is no category for the 1880s, I suggest making an upmerged template. Germany-footy-forward-1880s-stub --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:56, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy create as aprt of an established pattern with some pages which could use it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:58, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Done --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:42, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Split of Category:Missouri geography stubs
This category is oversized; after consulting with WikiProject Missouri, I think we should devide it based on List of Missouri conservation areas, which would be as follows: That leaves the St. Louis area, which has 8 counties - but doesn't quite correspond to, since it includes Crawford County and excludes St. Francois County; I was thinking that the best solution would be to nominate it for renaming and rescoping. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:05, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1)  - consisting of Audrain, Boone, Callaway, Camden, Cole, Cooper, Gasconade, Howard, Maries, Miller, Montgomery, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage and Saline counties - 105 stubs

SouthKorea-spacecraft-stub
Requesting to rename the previously tacitly approved ROK-spacecraft-stub to SouthKorea-spacecraft-stub. This is the only stub template that uses the ROK (Republic of Korea) designation, instead of SouthKorea. Dawynn (talk) 12:12, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Propose this as a bridging category. I plan to use it to gather the various European spacecraft templates, and include it as a sub-category under (as well as ). With this hierarchy in place, it would not be necessary to tag spacecraft articles with a 2nd space programme tag.

Propose collecting these categories and templates:
 * ‎ (95 P)
 * ‎ (357 P)
 * Europe-spacecraft-stub (20 P)
 * France-spacecraft-stub (22 P)
 * Germany-spacecraft-stub (10 P)
 * Italy-spacecraft-stub (5 P)
 * Luxembourg-spacecraft-stub (9 P)
 * Netherlands-spacecraft-stub (11 P)
 * Norway-spacecraft-stub (5 P)
 * Spain-spacecraft-stub (7 P)
 * Sweden-spacecraft-stub (5 P)
 * UK-spacecraft-stub (24 P)

Inline hockey team templates
Propose a couple new templates: Dawynn (talk) 11:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * inlinehockey-team-stub. To be used to prevent double-tagging with rollerhockey-team-stub and inlinehockey-stub.  Double-upmerge to  and, until it can support its own .  rollerhockey-team-stub will then be used only for quad-skate teams.
 * US-inlinehockey-team-stub. This will avoid additional overtagging with US-sport-team-stub.  For now, feed this into, , and.

Category:Louisville metropolitan area stubs and LouisvilleMSA-stub
The Louisville metropolitan area comprises 13 counties in north-central Kentucky and Southern Indiana. I had been errantly placing Louisville metro area articles into Category:Louisville, Kentucky stubs via Louisville-stub, and that category has been getting very fat (~1,000). So, I want to correct two problems at one time. At first, this category will be used to take everything from outside of Louisville, Kentucky (Louisville Metro). Later, this will be sorted into constituent county and subject (e.g. bio) stubs (given they are necessary). Here's one catscan that intersects Louisville, Kentucky stubs with just one constituent county, so if all constituent counties are taken into account, this will very much reduce Category:Louisville, Kentucky stubs. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 17:21, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Category:Chicago, Illinois building and structure stubs
I propose creating /Chicago-struct-stub - this would be the intersection of 2 categories, which has almost 150 right now - and there are probably a lot more. Given that is oversized, I think we should create this. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:03, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

There are at least 100 articles in the current Category:Wisconsin stubs which are biographies. Additionally, there is the daughter category Category:Wisconsin politician stubs, with four daughter categories of its own, and containing over 400 articles. I believe this may be an S2, but am not sufficiently familiar with this area of Wikipedia to say. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  18:32, 13 July 2014 (UTC)-- Orange Mike  &#124;  Talk  18:32, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support but create too: the threshold for stub templates is lower than for stub cats, so if a cat is justifiable, the template must be as well. -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:15, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Not sure - how many of these 100 people are notable due to anything related to Wisconsin and are not politicians? Politicians in the US are always state-level, with the exception of candidates to become President or Vice President - and these usually had previous political roles. Any other person, though, is usually just some notable person who happens to have lived there - not enough to have them stub-tagged for it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:00, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Owners and founders of local busiinesses; ditto local sports teams; chancellors of major universities; heads of Wisconsin-based religious bodies -- need I go on? -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  03:46, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support with caution. Please only populate with people important for their impact on Wisconsin.  For instance, the article on Augustin Langlade claims that his trading post helped establish what later became Green Bay, WI.  But really -- Americans move around so much that, unless the person truly impacted the state in some way, there's no reason to tag them specific to the state.  That all being said, precedent had already been set with other states (e.g. Texas-bio-stub). Dawynn (talk) 11:22, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Europe-space-programme-stub
Proposing a template for category. Currently, the only template here is ESA-stub, but the category title does not restrict itself to just the one programme. Would like to have a template that could more generally apply to any European space programme or products of such programmes. Respondents: feel free to propose a better name for the template. Dawynn (talk) 00:28, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Category:Plant disease stubs
I propose splitting this category into, and. The plant disease category contains over 1400 stubs and more than half of these are fungal diseases. I expect that the fungal plant disease need to be subdivided further but that is beyond my technical knowledge.Staranise (talk) 07:01, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - would the template be fungus-plant-disease-stub? Just guessing per the existing sub-cat . Pegship (talk) 18:47, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Category:Louisville, Kentucky building and structure stubs
I propose creating /Louisville-struct-stub - the inte4rsection of the 2 obvious parents is 69 stubs, and there are probably many more. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 15:10, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Australia-lighthouse-stub
Catscan does not indicate enough for a category at this time. Scans indicate somewhere between about 15 - 30 articles. Propose template for exploration. Dawynn (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Propose first creating Europe-lighthouse-stub as an exploratory template. Guessing that this won't take too long to fill, so also proposing the category now. In addition, propose building the following templates: With the Netherlands already having a tag with 15 articles, this should be easy to fill up the European category. Dawynn (talk) 23:36, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Norway-lighthouse-stub (est. > 40 articles)
 * UK-lighthouse-stub (est. > 20 articles)
 * Support - Even if no other European country had any (which I find it hard to beleive), and even with a 25% false-positive rate (probably high for lighthouses), there would still be enough. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:30, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Template:Canada-airline-stub
This stub tag would have 52 transclusions. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:49, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Category:Canada transport stubs by province/territory
I propose the folowing: Note that each these proposed categories, except Newfoundland, has at least one full-sized subcat already existing and well-populated. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:17, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
