Sri Lankan politician stubs
is sitting at a 516 pages at the moment.

There are 9 provinces of Sri Lanka. Each MP represents an electoral district which corresponds exactly with the sub-districts of Sri Lanka. This makes for easy sorting even with historical stubs; thus, this would just be standard sorting by region: this would follow the set-up of.

These would be created as:
 * 1) CentralLK-politician-stub //
 * 2) EasternLK-politician-stub //
 * 3) NorthCentralLK-politician-stub //
 * 4) NorthWesternLK-politician-stub //
 * 5) NorthernLK-politician-stub //
 * 6) SabaragamuwaLK-politician-stub //
 * 7) SouthernLK-politician-stub //
 * 8) UvaLK-politician-stub //
 * 9) WesternLK-politician-stub //

It may also be beneficial to sort by party, but I'll determine this after initial sorting is complete.

Nepal politician stubs
is sitting at a casual 513 pages at the moment.

There are 7 provinces of Nepal as created in 2015. Even though these were created recently, they are organized by the grouping of the pre-existing sub-districts of Nepal. This makes for easy sorting even with historical stubs; thus, this would just be standard sorting by region: this would follow the set-up of.

These would be created as:
 * 1) Bagmati-politician-stub //
 * 2) Gandaki-politician-stub //
 * 3) Karnali-politician-stub //
 * 4) Lumbini-politician-stub //
 * 5) Province1NP-politician-stub //
 * 6) Province2NP-politician-stub //
 * 7) Sudurpashchim-politician-stub //

n.b. Province No. 1 and Province No. 2 will be renamed by the government eventually.

By region is pretty much the only way to sort Nepali politicians, as by party seems extremely difficult/impossible. This is because their political system has consisted of like 10-20 different major communist parties that are constantly merging and collapsing like every 2 seconds; this makes it a nigh impossible to figure out a sorting system that will last.

Taiwanese politician stubs
is huge, sitting at 485 articles. Propose splitting via the two major parties (i.e. Taiwan-KMT-politician-stub for Kuomintang and Taiwan-DPP-politician-stub for Democratic Progressive Party). Splitting via geography wouldn't work well since Taiwan is unitary, so by party seems better. Would sort first and make the categories after they reach 60 each.

 * Sorting completed. Was able to cut down to 248 pages. That's pretty much as good as it's gonna get, as most of the remainder have no party affiliation. Both categories were able to be created. Curbon7 (talk) 06:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

British Army stub
If there's consensus for the above template, can somebody approve this draft? Thanks. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:05, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The parent category,, is very poorly sorted and needs significant work; that said, I would support as an upmerge until it reaches the 60 article threshold (with the category likely being once it crosses the threshold). Curbon7 (talk) 03:28, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "Significant work" - really??? Care to explain your high provocative statement?  78.32.143.113 (talk) 04:33, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * As the creator of this draft stub, it is simply the case of creating a 'parity' of other arms British Armed Forces - the Royal Air Force has a 'root' stub, as does the Royal Navy. So why does the British Army not have a 'root' stub template?  I would strongly suggest that many British Army-specific stub articles have been incorrectly classified with the WRONG stub template.  My guess is that there would very easily be more that 60 articles which could be more accurately stubbed with British Army stub.  Kind regards.  78.32.143.113 (talk) 04:42, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If many British Army-related stub articles have been incorrectly classified, perhaps there is a question of whether they should be re-classified under an existing stub type (for example,, and/or ). (I believe that is the work to which Curbon7 refers.) If there are fewer than 60 articles for which a new British-Army-stub would be the best choice, we generally upmerge the template until more than 60 articles have been tagged with it, at which point it should have its own category.
