Argentina football midfielder stubs
This category is getting large, so I propose the following speedies:
 * Argentina-footy-midfielder-1970s-stub (107) -
 * Argentina-footy-midfielder-1980s-stub (277) -
 * Argentina-footy-midfielder-1990s-stub (175) - Old Man Consequences (talk) 17:21, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Harpalinae stubs
Oversized caregory, 1 existing subcat, I propose the following joins it I have added genus to the category to match the permcat but not to the template as I think the chances of having a stub tag on any specific individual with the name, or the moon crater are rather slim. Waacstats (talk) 23:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Harpalus-stub -

United States judge stubs
An oversized category, I propose the following Waacstats (talk) 23:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

 * US-state-judge-stub - may well be  oversized but might be best to look again after it has been created.

American engineer stubs
Oversized category, the following are all viable but I don't think they will be enough to reduce it below the 800 mark. Waacstats (talk) 23:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * US-mechanical-engineer-stub -
 * US-electrical-engineer-stub -
 * US-inventor-stub -

 * Fungus-tree-disease-stub -
 * Virus-plant-disease-stub - - existing stub cat

Cornwall geography stubs split
Cornwall is currently governed under a unitary authority; districts were abolished in 2009, but if we're going to divvy up this 1,151-article stub cat, I suggest it be by those former districts. I inquired of the Cornwall portal (discussion here) and this seems feasible to those who know Cornwall. Thus, I'm proposing the following templates, with categories to follow for those used on 60+ articles: Thoughts? Her Pegship (?) 16:53, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Caradon-geo-stub
 * Carrick-geo-stub
 * Kerrier-geo-stub
 * NorthCornwall-geo-stub
 * Penwith-geo-stub
 * Restormel-geo-stub
 * IslesofScilly-geo-stub
 * Other than changing the North Cornwall template to NorthCornwall-geo-stub I think this this looks like a good split. Waacstats (talk) 09:30, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oops! Thanks for catching that.Her Pegship (?) 19:43, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Pterostichinae stubs
Oversized, the following all appear to be viable categories Metius may be a problem as the page Metius redirects to a Dutch geometer, the article is at Metius (beetle) and the, there is also a crater mentioned on the disambiguation page. I can't see us ever having stub categories for any of the other uses so have not disambig the stub category Waacstats (talk) 22:06, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Blennidus-stub -
 * Caelostomus-stub -
 * Eucamptognathus-stub -

Ryukyu Kingdom stub
I’d like to propose a stub category for things related to the Ryukyu Kingdom. Many articles could use it, such as monarchy stubs (ex. Shō Tei, Shō Sen'i, Shō Boku, ), literature stubs (ex. Ryūkyū-koku yurai-ki, Kyūyō, Chūzan Seifu), architecture stubs (ex. Uezu House, Izena Tamaudun) and many more.

Because it’s kind of vague to put all of these articles in a Ryukyu Kingdom stub category, we could separate it by doing things like this:
 * Ryukyuan history stubs
 * Ryukyuan literature stubs
 * Ryukyuan royalty stubs
 * Ryukyuan religion stubs
 * Ryukyuan architecture stubs

I think this would work well and give many articles a more specific stub category. Anyway, thank you for reading my proposal. — Haimounten (talk) 03:36, 2 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Given that and it's sub categories only have 256 articles in total, many of which are not stubs I would not feel comfortable having the 5 mentioned categories plus I assume a parent category.  I think at most we would be looking at a  and maybe a .  There does not appear to be any permanent categories for Ryukyuan history/literature/religion or architecture at the moment and I think those should come before a stub category for them. Waacstats (talk) 07:25, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a fair point. I mainly wanted a single Ryukyu Kingdom-stub to begin with but I thought some people would strike it down for being too "vague". I'm glad to hear other people's opinion. — Haimounten (talk) 17:52, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ditto what Waacstats said. Would that be RyukuKingdom-stub? Her Pegship (?) 19:47, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, yes, although “Ryuku” is actually “Ryukyu”. Thank you for joining in the discussion. — Haimounten (talk) 02:50, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Per consensus from both Waacstats and Her Pegship, I will change my proposal to instead create a single Ryukyu Kingdom stub. — Haimounten (talk) 02:52, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Eek. Sorry - should be RyukyuKingdom-stub then, right? Her Pegship (?) 21:30, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be correct. Sorry for the late response. — Haimounten (talk) 20:13, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
