Two more Virginian counties
Parent oversized again, I propose to speed the following two: Several others are close, so I may hold off on "regionalisation" for now. Alai (talk) 14:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Potential category counts at over 60 with upmergings.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 00:54, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

More Northern Ireland
Seems to have been a lot of understubbing with Northern Ireland. I've managed to get one more of the remaining two counties up to speediable level:
 * - 70 stubs

I'd also like to propose in advance that if I can get up to 60 I split that as well (saves on making yet another new header on this page!) It looks likely I will sometime in the next couple of days - it's currently close to 50. Grutness...wha?  02:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Split of
With the cat nearing 800 (presently 734), I suggest splitting it somehow. Normally, I'd suggest a continental split for the usually forgotten South America and Africa, but seeing as the split for Protected areas was shot down, I am at a loss. A potential (fed by Africa-business-bio-stub, SouthAfrica-business-bio-stub and Zimbabwe-business-bio-stub is over 60 and could be a start.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 14:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Shot down? Whaaaat?  Support continental categories.  I just don't see the long-term point of continental templates, since they'll inevitably be replaced, creating double-handling, and confusion of expectation if we whimsically create them, and then inconsistently decide to delete them.  Alai (talk) 16:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It makes no sense to create an upmerged Tanzania-business-bio-stub when there is only one article in . By creating a continental split, we avoid having to make 200 templates for every stub.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 19:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * So by "shot down" you meant something more on the lines of "I'm going in a huff about a counter-suggestion", then. BTW, I make that respectively 2 and 50-odd.  Where do you suggest the trade-off lies between upfront work and double-handling is concerned?  What about when we split out by sub-region, as you going to insist on an EAfrica-business-bio-stub, say?  (Thus eventually introducing treble-handling, even.)  Alai (talk) 13:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't exactly call it a huff. When a category is barely over 60, I just don't see a point in over-templatization when the will isn't there. IMO, I'd say a template is needed for a country if they are bi-continental (like Turkey or Israel in sports) or when they reach 20-30 stubs. If an editor has the will to split by country (as I did with Africa-politician-stub) then I have no problem with them doing so.

More Northern Ireland geos

 * - 76
 * - 68
 * - 66

None of the others reached 60, though Co. Londonderry was close (53). Ironically the one that was made unproposed (and which prompted this whole idea) is by far the smallest - Fermanagh only has 24 stubs, and will almost certainly need to be upmerged.

Slowly working my way through the Northern Ireland geo-stubs, divvying them up betweenm Belfast and the six counties, and Belfast has reached 60 stubs. Others will probably follow at some point fairly soon. Seems speediable. Grutness...wha?  01:55, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Irish politicians
Irish politician stubs are getting closer to 800 the following splits by party are viable according to catscan I have preference on which of the two templates we go for. Waacstats (talk) 21:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Argentina-university-stub
we propose split the Argentina-university-stub on a new stub referred merely to those National Universities state-run institutions given the fact that these are a big lump in number (nearer to 40 institutions, and certainly around 40 articles under construction) and style of education. By doing so, we propose Arg-National University-stub as a subcategory of Argentina-university-stubCarau(talk) 15:47 20 July 2008.
 * Very strong oppose. The vote on the deletion of Arg-National University-stub was only closed yesterday, and that made it clear that universities are split by nation, not by whether universities are private or state run. In any case, given that teher are not even enough stubs marked with Argentina-university-stub for there to be a separate category for them, splitting would be extremely premature 9and if it was done, ti would be by subnatiuonal region, as with other university types worldwide). Grutness...wha?  01:02, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Who's "we"? You and the anon IP going around tagging clearly-non-stub articles, "double-stubbing" articles with duplicate tag, and generally creating one epic headache to clean this up?  Enough already, please.  Alai (talk) 01:37, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok I catch it, but by using this country criterion, not should be merged the Canadian and U.S. (and even Mexican) universities stubs into a more globally "North American University stub"?? On the other hand, where could I find information about a threshold needed to build up a new subcategory??. Have a nice day all Carau(talk) 16:47 21 July 2008.(UTC)
 * New categories are created when there are 60 articles tagged with a stub template. The US and Canada both have more than 60 articles so have their own categories. SeveroTC 20:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * We're likely to be getting close to that threshold soon, it must be said, though the over-tagging somewhat fuzzifies this. Even if we creep up to 60 stubs specifically from the National University, and 60 others, I think a re-split would be more than a little dubious.  (Elsewhere we've simply re-divided by subdivision (or semi-lumped 'region'), at the point that's become necessary, but the 'necessary' watermark is traditionally 800, so we're quite a way off that...)  Alai (talk) 22:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * FWIW if and when, luckily Argentina's provinces seem to be usually regarded as being in six "semi-lumped regions". Grutness...wha?  00:49, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi guys, discarding at all splits it into a new National University stub I found this official resource which rise the argentinean university number up to 83 - Education Ministry of Argentina. Can I propose now an Argentinean stub as an independently category (of course once gathered at least 60 sites) from the South America University stub?? Carau (talk)
 * Once there are 60 stubs on the subject (assuming they are really stubs, not larger articles) there'd be no problem with proposing a separate category. But it's best to have 60 existing stubs before proposing it. We don't split things up because there may someday be 60 stubs - only when we know that there definitely are 60.

Trade
I think we could use a trade sub to take care of any pages that deal with trade or international trade. I counted 45 articles(that had trade in the title) in Econ-stub that could use the a trade stub. There are 285 articles in Category:International trade and probably a fair amount of them could use this stub. Thanks --Patrick (talk) 07:17, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * There are over 60 articles marked econ-stub in the recursive, so support, either as trade-stub/ or maybe international-trade-stub/ to match the perm cat. is very oversized, do you see any other obvious splits? SeveroTC 11:10, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. There a slight difference between trade and international trade, trade would be more inclusive of articles that deal with trade within a country. I was thinking that it might be useful to create a category with trade and then have international trade as a sub-category. In terms of other stubs, maybe economic theory and economic/financial policies. I think it might be useful to expand this discussion by posting it on WikiProject Economics and  WikiProject Business and Economics. I will post it. --Patrick (talk) 17:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the outreach to the WikiProjects. The only thing I have with that is it doesn't match what the perm cats are right now, since there is no . I think it's often best to follow the perm cats. That said, I see no real reason why there should not be such a general trade perm category. I wouldn't be surprised if created it met the criteria for it's own stub template as well! On to additional splits of this category, I propose:
 * econ-policy-stub/ (87)
 * econ-theory-stub/ (62)
 * econ-problem-stub/ (259)
 * SeveroTC 19:32, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In case it helps, econ-policy-stub and several other econ types are listed for creation on the to-do list. Her Pegship  (tis herself) 03:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, sounds great. Should we add in a stub for trade too. I don't mind going around tagging some pages with Category:Trade. Also, what type of articles do you think would in the problem stub? Cheers --Patrick (talk) 03:56, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Cheers Peg, didn't see them. econ-problem-stub would cover stub articles in the recursive . SeveroTC 07:13, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooo, new-category smell. Good call.  Support any and all of these if they fly numerically, and help with the econostuberg.  Severo, pardon me if I'm being dense, over-literal, or some combination of the two, but in what way are  and  recursive?  They don't look it to me...  Alai (talk) 22:42, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thatb would be the "economics stub mountain" ("stub lake"?), I think :) Support any that seem viable, per above. Grutness...wha?  01:16, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry I'm using AWB speak where recursive means "category and all sub-categories and all their sub-categories etc". SeveroTC 09:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In stubspeak it usually means that the stub template has been erroneously transcluded into the category, meaning that the category becomes a subcategory of itself. Grutness...wha?  01:32, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Now that has been created, support trade-stub/ including international trade articles. SeveroTC 09:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

So I'm a bit confused about what happens next. Can I create the stubs myself or does somebody else do it? This is my first stub creation discussion. Thanks. --Patrick (talk) 01:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's been more than five days so you can create them yourself, or if not I'll be back home tomorrow evening and will do them. SeveroTC 01:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I created them but can you look at them to see if i did it correctly. Thanks so much --Patrick (talk) 21:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The templates were fine, I've tweaked the categories to normal stub standards. BTW, I see theat one of the permcats is at (plural), which might have a slightly different meaning. That may need resolution elsewhere (it's not a stub problem, but should be noted). Grutness...wha?  00:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Horseracing-venue-stub /
This one's not strictly necessary, since has only around 220 stubs, but of those some 108 - almost exactly half - are racecourses. Might be worthwhile to split them out, since they'd be a natural child type of sports venue stubs, too. Grutness...wha?  13:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Virginia-geos are still very large, remaining counties seem to be bubbling under. A well-defined region seems to be the Middle Peninsula, which would also be comfortably populable.

NewZealand-outlying-geo-stub, OutlyingNZ-geo-stub, or similar name
I daily trawl looking for stubs needing further sorting, and I've noticed that of the 80-odd stubs which normally reside in that category, over 40 are from the New Zealand Outlying Islands. It would be a good idea, IMO, to have a separate template for them, since it seems likely they will eventually reach the 60 necessary for a split (indeed, I might make a few of the remaining stubs myself). As such, I'd like to propose an upmerged template for them - trouble is, what to call it? Personally, I'd favour OutlyingNZ-geo-stub, but I'm open to suggestions.

Approaching oversized with absolutely no subcats or upmerged templates, I really have no suggestions for splitting other than national template feeding into continental categories. I don't forsee any country needing it's own category, as the country with the most Olympic medalists in Judo (Japan) only has 71 articles in.

Africa-AmFoot-bio-stub
Feel free to suggest a different name, but I think an upmerged stub for American football players from African countries (such as Patrick Kabongo, Ashton Youboty, B. J. Tucker and Iheanyi Uwaezuoke). It would be upmerged to, with the possibility of a Nigeria-AmFoot-bio-stub because of the large number of Nigerians playing American football.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 15:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support - with the proviso that these are -Amfoot-, not -AmFoot-, as per Amfoot-bio-stub. It's only weak support because of the info in the top of the main Amfoot-bio category re: using scountry-bio-stub, but I suspect it would simply be delaying the inevitable to oppose.
