sport-official-stub / or
Pursuant to last month's discussion of the well-meant, I ran a PetScan and came up with over 500 articles that could be sorted under sport-official-stub (referees, umpires, etc.). If we can create this broad stub type now, perhaps later it can be diffused into sub-cats, if necessary. (Also, please check that I've formatted template and category correctly!)

 * ETA: tweaked the formats, hoping I got it right this time...) Her Pegship (talk) 18:47, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I suggest that this should be linked to Q27531628. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * For those of us who don't know what wikidata does...what does it do? Her Pegship (talk) 18:17, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Originally it was used to replace the interlanguage links that linked, say, London to fr:Londres. Now it does a whole lot more, and I fear that our page WP:Wikidata may be out of date. You may find d:Wikidata:Introduction to be more useful. -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:08, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I will create sports-official-bio-stub and upmerge it to for now. Her Pegship (talk) 19:17, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The term 'referee' is used as the standard term for match officials in association football, and also ice hockey (I believe). Why can't this remain and be a more specific sub-stub of the new/proposed 'sports-officials' stub? GiantSnowman 07:57, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * As I posted in two other places, creating the sports official biography stub type is the first step toward sorting out various types of officials and seeing which sub-types will need their own templates. Also, as mentioned above, the referee template is incorrectly formed and created out of process. There is no question as to whether "referee" is an appropriate or commonly-used term, only whether the stub type is viable. Her Pegship (talk) 20:54, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Settlement Stub
It seems odd that we don't have a stub for settlements or villages. There are plenty of stubs on small towns that could be sorted into this new stub. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HenryMP02 (talk • contribs) 03:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Mostly these are covered by the various xxx-geo-stub templates, see sub-categories of . -- Red rose64 (talk) 09:14, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
