Upmerged district templates for Nepal geo stubs
And here's part two! I propose that these stub templates be created and upmerged to their province categories until such time as their articles number 60+.


 * Upmerge to :
 * Dhankuta-geo-stub, IlamNP-geo-stub, Jhapa-geo-stub, Panchthar-geo-stub, Sankhuwasabha-geo-stub, Sunsari-geo-stub, Taplejung-geo-stub, Terhathum-geo-stub, and Udayapur-geo-stub


 * Upmerge to :
 * Bhaktapur-geo-stub, Chitwan-geo-stub, Dhading-geo-stub, Dolakha-geo-stub, LalitpurNP-geo-stub, Makwanpur-geo-stub, Ramechhap-geo-stub, Rasuwa-geo-stub, and Sindhuli-geo-stub


 * Upmerge to :
 * Kaski-geo-stub, Manang-geo-stub, Mustang-geo-stub, Myagdi-geo-stub, Nawalpur-geo-stub, and Tanahun-geo-stub


 * Upmerge to :
 * Arghakhanchi-geo-stub, Banke-geo-stub, Bardiya-geo-stub, DangNP-geo-stub, EastRukum-geo-stub, Parasi-geo-stub, and Pyuthan-geo-stub


 * Upmerge to :
 * Dolpa-geo-stub, Humla-geo-stub, Jajarkot-geo-stub, Jumla-geo-stub, Kalikot-geo-stub, Mugu-geo-stub, Surkhet-geo-stub, and WestRukum-geo-stub


 * Upmerge to :
 * Bajhang-geo-stub, Bajura-geo-stub, Dadeldhura-geo-stub, Darchula-geo-stub, Doti-geo-stub, Kailali-geo-stub, and Kanchanpur-geo-stub

Nepal geography stubs
Howdy folks - I've been sorting these by province, and it has become painfully clear that many of the districts within those provinces need their own stub templates, if not categories. The complete list is in my sandbox; here are the logical first choices for templates and categories. The number after each district is the number of articles currently marked as stubs.


 * Province No. 1:
 * Bhojpur = 70
 * Khotang = 87
 * Morang = 73
 * Okhaldhunga = 62
 * Solukhumbu = 64


 * Province No. 2:
 * created
 * Bara = 114
 * Dhanusa = 105
 * Mahottari = 77
 * Parsa = 91
 * Rautahat = 110
 * Saptari = 120
 * Sarlahi = 103
 * Siraha = 119


 * Bagmati Pradesh:
 * Kathmandu = 80
 * Kavrepalanchok = 101
 * Nuwakot = 65
 * Sindhupalchowk = 87


 * Gandaki Pradesh:
 * created
 * Baglung = 69
 * Gorkha = 71
 * Lamjung = 72
 * Parbat = 61
 * Syangja = 73


 * Province No. 5:
 * created
 * Gulmi = 87
 * Kapilvastu = 82
 * Palpa = 68
 * Rupandehi = 88


 * Karnali Pradesh:
 * created
 * Dailekh = 63


 * Sudurpashchim Pradesh:
 * created
 * Achham = 79
 * Baitadi = 69


 * The rest of the districts have fewer than 60 stub articles; I will propose upmerged templates for them later. Her Pegship (I'm listening) 00:24, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Support per my earlier comments. Good work! Grutness... wha?   03:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

PRChina stubs & China stubs
I propose that the remaining PRChina stubs be merged or renamed into the corresponding China stubs. This would result in one simplified tree of “China” stubs paralleling the categories tree, and avoide the need to consider whether a stub should be “PRChina… “ or “China ….” At present there are “PRChina” stubs for building and structure stubs, geography stubs and transport stubs with subcategories. And while China media stubs and China sports stubs are just “China” they are confusingly subcategories of “People’s Republic of China” stubs. It appears that "PRChina-media-stub" actually generates “China media stub”. Similarly "PRChina-sport-stub" actually generates ”China sport stub” Hugo999 (talk) 11:47, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * No opinion but just for some context, the has this note at the top: "NOTE: This category is specifically for the People's Republic of China alone. For articles relating to China in general - including any relating to China before 1949, use China-stub." Someone would need to tackle this as a re-sorting project (and don't look at me, I've just finished West Bengal and Nepal!!) to restore some consistency between the PRC period and any previous eras.

Nepal geo-stubs
Hi all - I notice that four Nepalese geo-stub categories and templates are based around old national subdivision Zones that haven't existed since 2015. I suggest that these be smerged in with the existing (and correct) province stub types, and we see from there whether any districts have enough stubs to separate out (which is quite likely). Grutness... wha?   04:19, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hiya Grut! I'm slaving away over those at the moment and sending the outdated zone-geo-stub types to the appropriate deletion pages as they're emptied. Mind, it's mostly stub & cat sorting, so the content of the articles is still going to need updating eventually. Job security... Her Pegship (I'm listening) 04:46, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Peg - excellent :) I'm not as active in WSS as I used to be, so it's no surp[rise someone beat me to it :) Keep up the good work! Grutness... wha?   05:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Africa transport stubs

 * I propose that the stub category Category:Africa transport stubs be made a category that can directly contain articles like all the other stub categories by continent e.g. Category:Asia transport stubs. There are a number of articles that should be in this category rather than Category:Transport stubs but do not fit into any of the subcategories (eg Ministry of Transport (Gabon) or Ministry of Works and Transport (Botswana)). I have not checked the "Transport by country" stub categories but similarly they should also directly include articles. Hugo999 (talk) 04:39, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The other continents contain upmerged templates which place articles in the continent category; if an upmerged template gets used on more than 60 articles it generally gets its own category. In, for example, there are 13 upmerged templates for different Asian countries. That said, fellow stubbers, should we create upmerged country templates and Africa-transport-stub to parallel Asia-transport-stub? Her Pegship (I'm listening) 05:09, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: Other African transport stubs by country (at present only Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa) could be increased by adding say the DRCongo, Kenya, Morocco and Tanzania. Hugo999 (talk) 01:38, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
