Proposals, January 2009Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it. If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the list of stub types. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page. Zagreb task force
The result of the debate was create I propose creating: This won't be the main stub type of a WikiProject per se, but Category:Stub-Class Zagreb articles is nevertheless quite populated. Admiral Norton (talk) 21:43, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Middle Eastern singer stubs
The result of the debate was create A split of Cat:Asian singer stubs, which is not oversized, but continues along the theme of splitting the Middle East from the larger Asian categories. It will contain at least 70 stubs between {{Iran-singer-stub}} and {{Israel-singer-stub}}. Also propose upmerged templates for appropriate countries which will feed into the category.--TM 16:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Food and drink publications stub
The result of the debate was create templates as revised by Grutness For publications related wholly or mainly to food and drink, such as the UK Good Pub Guide. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 10:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
finish split of Cat:European football club stubs
The result of the debate was create Just want to check if the following templates are okor not also does the IoM get upmerged to the UK cat or not. Waacstats (talk) 21:57, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
{{Finland-literature-stub}}
The result of the debate was do not create
Speedy Cat:Saudi Arabian building and structure stubs, Cat:Georgian (country) building and structure stubs Cat:Lebanese building and structure stubs
The result of the debate was create Should be around 60 in all now. Actually add Cat:Cambodian building and structure stubs to that. Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Christian monastery stubs / {{Christian-monastery-stub}}
The result of the debate was create There are 180+ of these in reli-struct-stub, plus about as many again buried in the various church-stubs. It wd be useful to be able to separate them out. HeartofaDog (talk) 01:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC) Support -especially as it is in coordination with the other existing monastery stubs such as Buddhism-monastery-stub etc too Dr. Blofeld White cat 13:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
I know! Read what I said; "Support because of the coordination with other monastery stubs like Buddhism-monastery stubs! I created that stub category remember. Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Italian Winter Olympic medalist stubs
The result of the debate was create uppmerged template with more than 60 articles Speedy? Waacstats (talk) 23:11, 29 January 2009 (UTC) Speedy Dr. Blofeld White cat 13:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
{{Abkhazia-bio-stub}}
The result of the debate was not now Would anybody support this given the often political conflict between Abkhazia and Georgia? Wouldn't it be like conflicting Northern with Southern Cyprus? I just came across a politician and it wasn't stub tagged. Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh there are likely to be tens of stubs. I'll have a look. I just think it could potentially cause some difficulty at a later date -see the Vladislav Ardzinba article. If that article was stub and was marked as Georgia-politician-stub the "Abkhaz" politician would be outraged. Read the article he refers to Georgians as "them". See Category:Abkhaz politicians, not sure how many stubs we have but in coordination with the categories that exist for Abkhaz people including historian, linguists etc in Category:People from Abkhazia wouldn't seem unreasonable. Might I also point out that some articles like Nugzar Ashuba are categorised as Abkhazia-stub Dr. Blofeld White cat 13:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Philippines building and structure stubs
The result of the debate was create as Philippines Should now be 60. Might want to check the naming convention though as at present I can see 3 different existing variations "Philippines stubs" Philippine ... stubs and Filipino ... stubs. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Splits from Cat:United States building and structure stubs
The result of the debate was create three categories viable from upmerged templates
Speedy? Waacstats (talk) 10:10, 29 January 2009 (UTC) I'm astounded!!!! No Washington D.C. building stubs? Speedy all!! Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:13, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Splits from Asian structures
The result of the debate was create The following two splits are viable based on upmerged templates
More countries likely to follow. Waacstats (talk) 14:08, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
add to these Cat:Taiwanese building and structure stubs and Cat:Iraqi building and structure stubs. Waacstats (talk) 23:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Taiwan politics
The result of the debate was create as Taiwan-poli-stub/Taiwanese politics stubs Hello again guys. Here comes a rather controversial one. I have a list of pages that are related to Taiwanese politics. But, due to Legal status of Taiwan, should the stub cat. be named Cat:Taiwanese politics stubs or Cat:Republic of China politics stubs? The templates too: {{Taiwan-poli-stub}} or Template:ROC-poli-stub? Thanks impactF=check this 02:32, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Geology stubs
The result of the debate was create I'm currently going through the paleontology stubs, splitting out the paleontological sites. I noticed while working that Cat:Geology stubs is pretty big - about 1200 stubs. It may be time to start considering doing the same for geology as for paleontology, and creating stub types for regional geological locations. I'd like to suggest the following, but they will need a LOT of discussion, I feel:
These three countries in particular would trim out a large number of the regional geology stubs. Grutness...wha? 00:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Guinean football biography stubs
The result of the debate was create Another template at 60, suggest speedily creating.--TM 23:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Speedy Cat:Gabonese politician stubs
The result of the debate was create Should be near 100 stubs now if not more. Dr. Blofeld White cat 21:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
split of Cat:Historian stubs
The result of the debate was create Currently close to 800. Propose a Cat:European historian stubs populated by {{Nation-historian-stub}}, we already have 4 categories and three templates that could go here. Waacstats (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
split of Cat:Architect stubs
The result of the debate was create As above. Close to 800, propose a Cat:European architect stubs populated by {{Nation-architect-stub}}, we already have four cats and thirteen templates that could go here. Waacstats (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
split of Cat:American people stubs
The result of the debate was create Can't remember the last time this was below 800, currently at 930, these may help a little bit
Cat:Taiwanese rail stubs or Cat:Taiwan rail stubs
The result of the debate was create I have created another list of Taiwan stubs here, But I don't know which to use. Cat:Taiwanese rail stubs or Cat:Taiwan rail stubs? There are other rail stubs that are: Cat:Norwegian rail stubs and Cat:India rail stubs, should I use Taiwan or Taiwanese? impactF=check this 06:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
North American parent-only cats
The result of the debate was create We seem to have a hit and miss approach to parent categories for North America. In some cases, US, Canadian and Mexican categories are contained within a parent-only North America type (geo-stub and airport-stub types are examples of this). In others, there's no such parent. I'd like to propoise the addition of a North American parent-only type in any cases where there isn't one - especially on things like buildings and structures, museums, universities, etc. Grutness...wha? 00:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Taiwanese film stubs
The result of the debate was create Propose the creation of Cat:Taiwanese film stubs and {{Taiwan-film-stub}}. I found 68 pages that can fit in the category. The list. Maybe there are more out there.... impactF=check this 23:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Paralympic medalist stubs / {{Paralympic-medalist-stub}}
The result of the debate was create Propose a seperate template for Paralympic medalists as there are often different groups of editors (and I'm getting ready to post a load of articles on them). Catscan shows over 100 existing articles. Waacstats (talk) 20:33, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Puerto Rican baseball biography stubs
The result of the debate was create Request speedy creation of this category. While the current upmerged count is slightly below 50, with the current split of baseball players by position and nearly 200 in Cat:Puerto Rican baseball players, I anticipate a category well over 60.--TM 15:26, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Indonesian building and structure stubs
The result of the debate was create {{Indonesia-struct-stub}} has 27 articles, {{Indonesia-sports-venue-stub}} has 57 propose above category, happy to go either way on a sports venue cat. Waacstats (talk) 12:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Split of Cat:European football club stubs
The result of the debate was create over 700 articles, I can't find any country over 60. Propose templates for all countries. Waacstats (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Sports venues in India
The result of the debate was create Articles under these cat and subcats are often marked with two/three stub templates. A new stub template for this will reduce that. Also, this will refine currently used Asian sports venue stub template, which is quite broad for so many pages. I can create this stub, but, I saw it in Asian stub template page that it should be discussed here first.--GDibyendu (talk) 04:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Split of scientists
The result of the debate was create The following templates have all reached 60 propose the respective categories
Speedy create. Waacstats (talk) 00:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Sorting of Category:Baseball biography stubs
The result of the debate was create all exc DH Baseball articles are annoying to sort because they are split by position and country. If we can combine these to templates like: (Example of Japan) This would be a lot better for the categorisation heirachy because each template could be upmerged into (for example Japan-baseball-outfielder) Category:Japanese baseball biography stubs and Category:Baseball outfielder stubs, instead of having two templates on pages like a lot currently have. Then when all the articles are sorted by country we would remove the outfielder stubs category if that's what's decided, if not, leave it in. All other sports I have found sort by country first, and then by position. This won't change anything else straight away either because you can still use {{baseball-outfielder-stub}} and have it categorised if need be.—Borgarde 06:23, 21 January 2009 (UTC) An example of two templates can be seen here: Akihiko Ohya. This could be fixed by using {{Japan-baseball-manager-stub}} and reduce clutter. —Borgarde 06:24, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Kerala people stubs
The result of the debate was do not create
Art Information Stub
The result of the debate was do not create
Cat:Zanzibar geography stubs
The result of the debate was create Yup - one week after a general Cat:Zanzibar stubs category, there are now 60 geo-stubs (and don't worry, this won't reduce the general stub category to a puny size). Speediable, no? Grutness...wha? 01:07, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Taipei metro stubs
The result of the debate was create as revised I propose for both the creation of Cat:Taipei metro stubs and {{Taipei-metro-stub}}. I have a collection of pages that will fit in the stub category on this page. It's over 60 pages. impact=macheck this 23:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
3 speedy cats
The result of the debate was create the following categories are all viable based on upmerged templates, sorry for the mix of cats
Waacstats (talk) 22:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
split of Cat:European figure skating biography stubs
The result of the debate was create I know these two got turned down earlier but the upmerged templates are now over 60 so speedy the following: Waacstats (talk) 14:06, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Oceanian military personnel stubs
The result of the debate was create Templates {{Oceania-mil-bio-stub}}, {{Australia-mil-bio-stub}} and {{NewZealand-mil-bio-stub}} have 60 articles between them. Propose category. Waacstats (talk) 23:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Iranian film director stubs
The result of the debate was create Catscan gives 60 stubs that could potentially use {{Iran-film-director-stub}}. Waacstats (talk) 19:32, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:South African musician stubs
The result of the debate was create we have {{SouthAfrica-musician-stub}} and {{SouthAfrica-singer-stub}} which combined have over 60 articles. Speedy create category? Waacstats (talk) 11:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Paleontology split
The result of the debate was create Recent discoveries of unproposed paleontology stub subtypes (seeWP:WSS/D and WP:SFD) led to me noticing that there are over 1000 unsubcatted paleontology stubs. It looks like close to 200 of these are paleontological sites - beds, formations, +c. I think that this category could be reduced significantly by the addition of: ...with the possibility of later splitting them further, either by location or by epoch. Any thoughts? Grutness...wha? 09:11, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:European painter stubs
The result of the debate was create Parent is oversized, this would already have 10 subcategories and 10 upmerged templates, propose we create the missing upmerged templates as well. I can't find any individual country over 60. Waacstats (talk) 09:01, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Museum stubs
The result of the debate was create In an attempt to save an editor from making extra unnecessary work for himself and for the rest of us (see WP:SFD), I'd like to propose the following speediable stub templates. None of them appear to be close to threshold at present, but it's possible that some of them may come close:
As is the usual case with such templates, ideally we'll end up with ones for each European country, but this will do as a starting batch - between them, it looks like they may well account for over half of Europe's museum stubs. Grutness...wha? 12:36, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Whoops... Forgot which stubs I was making, and accidentally also made a {{Italy-museum-stub}}. It would be a high use one anyway, so it's likely just as speediable as the others. Grutness...wha? 07:25, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Hunter region geography stubs
The result of the debate was create This category lists stubs related to the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia. However, it's currently only doing a partial job. At this time there are 189 Hunter Region article stubs but only 141 are listed in the category. Cat:Hunter region geography stubs currently has three stub templates; {{LakeMacquarie-geo-stub}}, {{NewcastleNSW-geo-stub}} and {{PortStephens-geo-stub}} which correspond to Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the region. However, there are eleven LGAs in the region, meaning that eight LGAs are being missed, or rather, they are being listed under the general category Cat:New South Wales geography stubs, which has 800 articles listed. The simple solution, to enable capturing of all Hunter region stubs in the appropriate category, would seem to be creation of the eight missing templates but this, in my opinion, would be overkill. While there are potentially ~560 articles to be created in the currently unrepresented LGAs, the reality is that the vast majority of these will never exist as the articles are about non-notable, predominantly rural localities with extremely low populations. Therefore, there will probably never be more than 10 or so articles labelled with each template. There are a number of articles that cross LGAs and so could be labelled with more than one template, all of which do the same thing. It would be more appropriate to label such articles with a single template ({{HunterRegion-geo-stub}}), which currently does not exist. It should be noted that despite the creation of the individual LGA templates being originally discussed in December 2006,[1], there has been no need to actually create them in the two years since. A complete list of the Hunter region articles that I've identified is at User:AussieLegend/Hunter Region. Based on the above, my proposal is that {{HunterRegion-geo-stub}} be created with existing templates converted to redirects, rather than creating templates for each LGA. This would be consistent with Cat:Central Coast, New South Wales geography stubs, Cat:Riverina geography stubs and Cat:Sydney geography stubs, which are other regions in NSW. Only Cat:Hunter region geography stubs and Cat:Illawarra region geography stubs have more than one template for the region. --AussieLegend (talk) 01:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Art materials and techniques stubs
The result of the debate was create upmerged templates This category would contain many of the stubs that are in the highly ambiguous Category:Art stubs. Articles on art materials, artistic techniques, and companies that manufacture art materials would be included. There are at least 60 stub-size articles that relate to this- most of them are already in Category:Art stubs, and some of them are in Category:Art materials. Here is a starting list, in approximate alphabetical order: Opinions would be welcome. Thank you, Lithoderm 19:32, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Zanzibar stubs
The result of the debate was create {{Zanzibar-stub}}, {{Zanzibar-bio-stub}}, {{Zanzibar-politician-stub}}, {{Zanzibar-geo-stub}} add up to above 60, so suggest creating Cat:Zanzibar stubs while maintaining the upmerge into the existing categories.--TM 17:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Central African Republic biography stubs
The result of the debate was create This category is almost exactly at 60 stubs, so I propose a category when it reaches the magic number, which will probably be later today. Should this be the name?--TM 18:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
{{hobby-stub}}
The result of the debate was create as hobby-stub I think this is an obvious one. I've had two places I could have used it recently, one just now for Skeds and the other for an article a couple of weeks ago Rare CPUs (which has been deleted, but it was meant to be a hobby page). Possibly {{pastime-stub}} could also be created and redirect to it. —Largo Plazo (talk) 04:19, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Guam geography stubs
The result of the debate was create On a bit of a roll here... another one bites the dust. 60 stubs - speediable. Grutness...wha? 22:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:European film stubs
The result of the debate was create For each country of Europe that doesn't have it's own stub sub-category (Portugal, Greece, Albania, Slovenia, etc, etc). Almost to mirror its sister category Cat:European film director stubs Lugnuts (talk) 15:39, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:American Samoa geography stubs
The result of the debate was create Another speediable one - 61 stubs. Grutness...wha? 01:22, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Southeast Asia stubs
The result of the debate was create Purely organizational. An umbrella for the relevant country stub cats and corral for existing regional cats/templates like Cat:Southeast Asian history stubs, {{SEAsia-geo-stub}}, {{SEAsia-studies-bio-stub}}, Cat:Southeast Asian Games stubs. (Corresponding {{SEAsia-stub}} would be nice but I haven't seen much use for it.) • Lainagier • talk • 23:21, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
{{Ghana-sport-bio-stub}} / Cat:Ghanaian sportspeople stubs and templates
The result of the debate was create {{Ghana-footy-bio-stub}} is already well developed but other templates would be useful. Propose sport templates {{Ghana-basketball-bio-stub}}, {{Ghana-athletics-bio-stub}} and any other needed to sort. Propose Cat:Ghanaian sportspeople stubs when the category is above 60.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 18:13, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Federated States of Micronesia geography stubs
The result of the debate was create {{Micronesia-geo-stub}} is now used on 60 articles. Speediable... Grutness...wha? 01:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Orienteering
The result of the debate was create Per this SFD discussion, the idea of a basic stub type for orienteering would seem to be a useful idea. CatScan suggests it will very easily reach threshold (30, given that there's a Wikiproject), so a speediable category would make sense. There is also very good cause for a separate {{Orienteering-bio-stub}} and Cat:Orienteering biography stubs, with some 300 eligible stubs! Grutness...wha? 23:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat:Africa rail stubs
The result of the debate was create {{Africa-rail-stub}} has gone over 60 thanks to a host of creations by Dr. Blofeld, so recommend a speedy creation of the category.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 20:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
{{Wałcz-geo-stub}}
The result of the debate was create Already used on 59 articles despite being a red link, propose we speedy the template, but do we upmerge to Cat:West Pomeranian geography stubs or give it it's own category. Waacstats (talk) 17:01, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
...of all places...
The result of the debate was create Let's start the year with a surprising one. Believe it or not, {{Pitcairn-stub}} and {{Pitcairn-geo-stub}} are, between them, used on 60 articles. About time for a speedily created Cat:Pitcairn Islands stubs! Grutness...wha? 05:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
