Bulbophyllum stubs
has over 1,600 articles and no subcategories. Therefore, I propose the creation of these categories + their respective stub templates: still has way too many articles in it, but I have no idea how to subdivide it. Any ideas would be welcome. Andumé (talk) 04:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Syrphidae stubs
has over 1,500 articles and no subcategories. Therefore, I propose the creation of this category + its respective stub template: will need further subcategories, but since doesn't have any large subcategories (yet), I do not yet have a plan for doing so. Andumé (talk) 05:24, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * I have now sorted into subcategories, with three of them having more then 60 stubs. I therefore propose the creation of these subcategories for  + their respective templates:
 * , | 281 articles
 * , | 86 articles
 * , | 741 articles
 * This would leave with a much more reasonable | 107 articles.

Stubs for novels before the 18th Century
There are currently 5 templates for novel stubs published in the 13th through 17th Centuries. These templates categorize the novel stubs to Category:Novel stubs. I propose to replace all of the 5 templates with one template, pre-18thC-novel-stub and create a new category Category:Pre-18th-century novel stubs. This category would not contain 60 or more articles (likely 30 or less), but it would provide a consolidation of the 'early' novel stubs and move Category:Novel stubs one step closer to the container category I believe it should be (that is, the category should contain only categories and not articles, in my opinion). Thanks for considering this. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:59, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

1900s comedy film stubs - dropping a small stub category
Category:1900s comedy film stubs contains the 1900s-comedy-film-stub template and a single article; it is however parent to Category:1900s short comedy film stubs, which has a decent 53 articles. My suggestion is to eliminate the '1900s comedy film stubs' and re-stub the single article to Category:Silent comedy film stubs, which has ~40 articles at the moment. The '1900s short comedy film stubs' category would have take the parentage that the now-deleted category had. The before and after state are illustrated in the image below. Thanks for considering. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 01:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Support. These appear to be the three largest, in terms of number of genera, of the several sub-Families of the parent Family.  The Calamaria sub-Family gives an intersection of 66 pages, meaning it crosses the minimum size threshold as well if you'd be interested in creating this additional stub template / category. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

1910s American Western (genre) film stubs
This concerns two stub templates/categories: 1910s-Western-film-stub / Category:1910s Western (genre) film stubs and 1910s-US-film-stub / Category:1910s American film stubs.

"Western" contains 263 articles while "American" contains 630 articles. Intersection of the categories assessed via PetScan shows a count of 163. This would reduce "American" to 467 and "Western" to 100. Thanks for considering. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:56, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
