Society stubs - as a Top-level stub category
I have been going through the available and there are some of them that could maybe fit into a new  (after all, there is indeed a  which happens to be among the ). Apart from this, the might include, , , etc. What do you say? Regards, --Fadesga (talk) 19:27, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. Makes sense. Might be able to create other top-level stub categories from the main topic classifications as well, either here or in future proposals. – Liveste (talk • edits) 06:06, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

UK footballer biography stubs
Surprised this doesn't exist yet, since several articles already exist that would fit under such a stub category. This would be populated by said articles that are not in a stub category or already in Category:Association football biography stubs and/or Category:British sportspeople stubs. The template could be UK-footy-bio-stub or something similar. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 18:52, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Neutral. I have already thought over the same matter. The point is: there are no "UK association footballers", as soccer in the UK has always been divided into four: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. That's why. --Fadesga (talk) 19:30, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose A quick check of shows that we already have, ,  and . Notable football players who are British by nationality are registered with one or another of the four national associations. Since there are no players registered with more than one national association, there can be no need for an umbrella UK category. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 23:11, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak support I realise that constituent countries all have their own separate stub categories, and that all notable registered players would be registered with these constituent countries. But I still think it would be useful as a container category, and as a way of directing people from . The latter category also contains and, for which the constituent countries also have separate categories. There's also the Great Britain Olympic football team and Great Britain national rugby sevens team, in addition to constituent national representative teams. – Liveste (talk • edits) 06:06, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Changed to support parent category only per Grutness below, and to get this resolved. – Liveste (talk • edits) 01:04, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Support parent-only category for the individual national subtypes, but oppose template, which is unnecessary given that templates for each separate footballing nation already exist. Grutness... wha?   10:48, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Support parent cat per Grutness. Her Pegship (really?) 16:40, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Climate change stubs
This will be the stub category for the newly launched WikiProject Climate change to support the project's article improvement efforts. With over 1,600 total articles in scope, I am sure there are at least 30 stubs. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:02, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support creation of . There's already a climate-change-stub template (created July 2017, no discussion) that's only used in a few articles. However there are almost 400 pages in, so there shouldn't be a problem with the number of articles (barring some mass miscategorisation). – Liveste (talk • edits) 00:44, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. --Fadesga (talk) 19:28, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

American blues musician stubs
There are 650+ articles in, and this is an obvious non-inclusion, with potential splits down the line if necessary. Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:17, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support creation of category and template. PetScan shows over 100 potential articles, though only 28 of them are in itself. BTW, what did you mean by "non-inclusion" and what would be split down the line? – Liveste (talk • edits) 12:11, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Just that we currently don't have that category, where it seems like an obvious one to add (and one of the more actually useful stub categories). Potential splits down the line would be similar to what we have for jazz musicians -- blues singers, guitarists, etc. -- if the category ends up getting large.

Ethnic group stubs
Not sure if this qualifies as speedy (S2). is split by continent for Africa, Asia, Europe and South America, but not currently for North America and Oceania. So I propose creation of the following: These new categories could also be populated by articles currently in Ethnic group stubs. Cheers. – Liveste (talk • edits) 01:18, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * / NorthAm-ethno-group-stub
 * This would include the subcats, , and  (this last category is apparently for US citizens/residents of Latin American descent)
 * / Oceania-ethno-group-stub
 * This would include and
