Oversized but thankfully two upmerged templates have over 60 articles should reduce the parent category. Waacstats (talk) 19:21, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Category is oversized looks like splitting out the Baronetcy should bring it down to size. this of for articles like Bagot baronets rather than the actual people who held the title. Waacstats (talk) 11:44, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy cats
The following templates have all reached 60, propse creating relevant categories for them. Waacstats (talk) 08:58, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Haiti-footy-bio-stub –

Category is oversized, no existing split other than for bishops, I propose the following (categories only if the templates reach 60, split looks odd on catscan) not sure which one to go for on the last two, clergy matches stub parent while minister matched perm cat.

 * UK-RC-clergy-stub –
 * UK-Anglican-clergy-stub –
 * UK-Methodist-clergy-stub – or
 * UK-Baptist-clergy-stub – or
 * Maybe it's oversized because it contains non-notable people? I see a lot of priests in there below the level of bishop (or equivalent); do they all warrant articles? I was under the impression that regular parish priests needed to be notable in some other way to warrant an article (see WP:CLERGY) - in which case some other (non-religious) stub template would be more suitable. We didn't create an article for Libby Lane until her appointment as Bishop of Stockport was announced: as a parish priest, she was probably not notable; as a bishop, she's automatically notable (even if she hadn't been the first female C of E bishop). -- Red rose64 (talk) 13:52, 25 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Tentatively support UK-RC and UK-Anglican templates, until it looks like a category is viable. Her Pegship (talk) 20:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Oversized and we have already split out the Olympic medalists, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of permcat splitting by road, track, mountain bike etc so the only thing I can come up with is either French Tour de France stage winners, which I don't like or by decade of birth similar to US basketball or leave as is. My prefered choice would be and further back if deemed necessary, categories only for templates that pass 60. Waacstats (talk) 08:58, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Another oversized category, the following appear viable unless we want upmerged by country templates. Waacstats (talk) 08:58, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Europe-year-stub –
 * Asia-year-stub –
 * Oppose. Personally, I haven't understood the concept behind tagging these year articles as "stubs".  The overwhelming majority of these articles, is simply a list of events that happened during that year.  And lists, as I understand it, are a different classification from stubs.  Thus -- my preference would be to remove the stubs off of all year articles that amount to nothing more than an event list.  I expect this would make  a barely occupied, underpopulated category.

Oversized, most articles appear to have the district in them so propose a split based on districts seems viable. I have added PK to templates where I have found places outside of Pakistan with the same name and added Pakistan to categories where I found districts elsewhere, do we need district in the template to distinguish the district from the capital of the district? Obviously categories only for those that reach 60. Waacstats (talk) 08:58, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Can you please say how many stubs there will be in each category? Gug01 (talk) 13:33, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Not easily, but I suggest the templates be created and populated and only those templates that pass the 60 mark get a category. Waacstats (talk) 19:00, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * OK. I suggest that is done. I will support. Gug01 (talk) 21:32, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Split of
Uhhh! It's happening again! Lamiinae is skyrocketing upwards. I will also create the permanent categories too. To combat this, I propose the following:

Astathini-stub/ - 99 pages, not including the following:
 * Bacchisa-stub/ - 80 pages

Batocerini-stub/ - 141 pages

1920s silent Western film stubs
currently has 227 articles. However, 183 of those also have the stub tab silent-film-stub:. I think that there should probably be a new stub tag that covers both, such as 1920s-silent-Western-film-stub, since is in danger of becoming overpopulated again. There used to be a silent-Western-film-stub, but it was deleted in favor of the decade stub tags for Westerns. And most of the other silent film stub tags have retained the decade when being split, such as 1910s-short-drama-film-stub and 1920s-silent-drama-film-stub. Thoughts? Fortdj33 (talk) 20:27, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * There are several upmerged decade stub templates under, some of which once had their own categories. Perhaps it would make sense to ensure the pages in the parent category are tagged according to decade first, at which point we can see what sub-cats can be made and whether is truly oversized.

Split of Category:Asia transport stubs by region
has over 200 stubs, excluding subcats. I recommend splitting it by region (as defined by, with the possible exception of the Caucasus region - we do have a transport stub category for at least one country in each region (Kazakhstan in Cerntral Asia, Japan in East Asia, Iran in the Middle East, India in South Asia‎, Vietnam in Southeast Asia). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:51, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Propose Ommatidae stubs
Propose a stub template for Ommatidae stubs. Note that this is only the template and not a category, since there are only 11 Ommatidae articles. Gug01 (talk) 16:12, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Opppose. Approval already granted in July 2011, and template created. In May 2012, the beetles were reorganized under suborder.  Ommatidae-stub exists, and can be used, but it is a redirect to suborder tag Archostemata-stub.  There are only 22 articles tagged in the suborder, so no need for subdivision (i.e. revival of the family tag) yet. Dawynn (talk) 10:22, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't know that. Gug01 (talk) 13:47, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Some Lamiinae subcategory splits
I propose the following:


 * Ostedes stub / - 35 pages
 * Goephanes stub / - 40 pages
 * Nealcidion stub / - 58 pages
 * Jordanoleiopus stub / - 55 pages
 * Auxa stub / - 28 pages
 * Doliops stub / - 37 pages
 * Mimosybra stub / - 28 pages
 * Hippopsis stub / - 42 pages
 * Agapanthia stub / - 21 pages
 * Bisaltes (genus) stub / - 35 pages

Gug01 (talk) 14:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Support templates, with revisions. We use dashes instead of spaces in template names.  I approve the following. Dawynn (talk) 10:47, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Ostedes-stub
 * Goephanes-stub
 * Nealcidion-stub
 * Jordanoleiopus-stub
 * Auxa-stub
 * Doliops-stub
 * Mimosybra-stub
 * Hippopsis-stub
 * Agapanthia-stub
 * Bisaltes-stub (I don't predict much need for a stub template for the myth)
 * Weak oppose Nealcidion and Jordanoleiopus categories. While technically under 60, these are close enough for me to overlook, and will remove articles from an overpopulated parent category. Dawynn (talk) 10:47, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose the remaining categories. No others close to the 60 threshold, and we don't need more underpopulated categories. Dawynn (talk) 10:47, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * OK. I'll just create the Nealcidion and Jordanoleiopus templates/categories for now. Gug01 (talk) 13:46, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Religious structures
I propose creating a category tree for /reli-struct-stub, which would cover (among other things) churches, mosques and synagogues - which would include stub tags for any geographical region (e.g city, U.S. state) which has at least one of church-stub, mosque-stub and synagogue-stub, as well as any country with at least a dozen stubs where such a tag would be appropriate; and a category for any such area with at least 60 stubs for it (including any region with a Foo church stubs category). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Category:Medical biography stubs
Needs a subcategory for African medical biography. There are 353 in the residual category and a good proportion are AfricanRathfelder (talk) 18:01, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
