Please 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types|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.

===Second split of {{cl|Brazil stubs}}===
{{sfp create}}
I said there would be more, another 5 upmerged state templates have reached 60 propose the following (speedy)
*{{cl|Maranhão geography stubs}}
*{{cl|Mato Grosso geography stubs}}
*{{cl|Paraíba geography stubs}}
*{{cl|Pernambuco geography stubs}}
*{{cl|Rondônia geography stubs}}
more will follow, though these should get the parent off the oversized list. [[User:Waacstats|Waacstats]] ([[User talk:Waacstats|talk]]) 22:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Self-evident from the category of the same name.  I'm a first-timer; I would have thought a stub automatically existed for every category. Am I missing something? [[User:Petershank|Petershank]] ([[User talk:Petershank|talk]]) 20:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

No, that's where our hard toil and tears come into play I'm afraid. Your template is way too much of a mouthful. I'd recommend simply {{tl|France-military-struct-stub}} if the template is needed.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 20:47, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
*That name won't do either Dr B - that would mean forts (struct = buildings and structures), and we use "mil" for military. I'd suggest that  {{tl|France-mil-unit-stub}} would be a better way to go, though I'm not sure whether that form or another is used for other countries which have such a type (if any).

**As the only country we have currently split out is the UK, I say we use that as a template and so Grutness would be correct in the name, I would however hold off on a category as it appears to be on the low side.  It may be worth creating {{tl|Germany-mil-unit-stub}} and {{tl|US-mil-unit-stub}} aswell. [[User:Waacstats|Waacstats]] ([[User talk:Waacstats|talk]]) 12:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

===Split of {{cl|China stubs}}===
{{sfp nocreate}}
If you think how vast China is and that the near 800 articles we have presently within them are likely to grow considerably I think now would be a good point to create regional templates for general topics like {{tl|Qinghai-stub}} and {{tl|Sichuan-stub}}. I'd imagine some are not easily organised by region and there will be a lot of uneveness towards the main cities like Beijing and Shanghai but I am certain a lot of them could be reorganised. At some point is may even me reasonable to create sub cats of this like {{tl|Sichuan-bio-stub}} etc. but at present I doubt it would be worth it yet. I think it is owrthy creating the templates anyway and the geo stubs can also be sub categorised from the main provincial cats.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 11:48, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
:I think it may be better splitting this in the same way as other countries for now, splitting out -newspaper-, -sport- etc.  I haven't loked at the category so I don't know what would be viable and what wouldn't but will try to look later on tonight. [[User:Waacstats|Waacstats]] ([[User talk:Waacstats|talk]]) 17:27, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't want anything too localised but it would certianly be appropriate to have main stub categories for the huge regions of China. We have {{tl|Tibet-stub}} after all!!
:Dr B? I'm not saying I'm opposed to them but having had a look through China stubs (what a mess) I will add tidying up to my to do list.  It seems that these categories would be subcats of {{Cl|People's Republic of China stubs}} not {{Cl|China stubs}} and that a number of the articles can easily be moved into other appropiate categories (does an article on the Beijing Olympics belong in a PRC-sport- cat or a Beijing- cat) [[User:Waacstats|Waacstats]] ([[User talk:Waacstats|talk]]) 12:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, you see now what I mean about it being in a mess?

:I'm not sure that splitting by state is the best way togo with this, maybe a split by period (also taking out all the -bio-, -geo- and -struct- stubs would help). [[User:Waacstats|Waacstats]] ([[User talk:Waacstats|talk]]) 15:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
'''Weak oppose''' I agree, I don't think it is necessary given that some history predates the existence of actual states and I do't see an overwhelming amount of stubs for each state. On average it works out as 14 articles per state. History would best be dealt with my time period.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 16:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
*I must say I agree - this isn't the best way to split this. A large number of US history stubs will almost certainly relate to the history of the country overall, rather than any specific state. If i were going to split them, I'd go by historical period (we already have a pre-Columbian stub, for instance). A US-20thcentury-history-stub, US-19thcentury-history-stub, and US-18thcentury-history-stub might be more useful. It's also worth noting that if we do go with a state-by-state split, many of the proposed names are incorrect - we use CamelCase for stub templates - with no spaces in state names.

===[[:Category:New South Wales river stubs]]===
{{sfp nocreate}}
{{tl|NewSouthWales-river-stub}} from this list [[User:Moondyne/Rivers|here]]. Over 300 New South Wales river articles were mechanically created by {{User|AlbertHerring}}. While there has been discussion about the appropriateness of this at the [[Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#River stubs|Australian Wikipedians' notice board]], I think it is fairly safe to say that they are here for keeps. Given that, it is probably appropriate that they have their own stub template and category, especially as the {{tl|NewSouthWales-geo-stub}} cat now has over 1,000 articles. The concern I have is that there does not seem to be  a parent stub category for {{tl|Australia-river-stub}} or even {{tl|river-stub}}. Advice gratefully accepted. -- [[User:Mattinbgn|Mattinbgn]]\<sup>[[User talk:Mattinbgn|talk]]</sup> 22:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
*'''strong oppose'''. As has been mentioned here frequently in the past, geo-stubs aren't split by landform. This is the reason we have no overall {{tl|river-stub}}, {{tl|lake-stub}}, {{tl|town-stub}}, {{tl|mountain-stub}}, etc. The way that NSW should be split is the same way all other geographical regions are split - by smaller area - in this case, by county or group of counties. I'd certainly support a split of that form.  [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...''[[User_talk:Grutness|<small style="color:#008822;">wha?</small>]]'' 00:26, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
:*'''Comment''' How do I split long skinny landforms that cross [[Local Government Areas in Australia|LGA]] boundaries? Do I duplicate across every LGA it crosses? How do I define regional boundaries? In Australia, states are too large and LGAs are too small to be reasonably useful for the purpose of stub sorting. Regional boundaries, including {{tl|Riverina-geo-stub}} (which on reflection I should have opposed the creation of) are artificial and have no formal standing whatsover. Using them will lead to battles over whether an area is in let's say "South West Slopes" or "Central West". Perhaps if you point me to where this discussion has been held previously (most of us don't dwell in the details of stub creation) it might be easier to understand why there is what seems to me to an illogical opposition to a reasonable proposal. Why geographical features are lumped in together and every family of arthropod is split is, I must confess, beyond me. If it is seen as reasonable to create a mountain of stubs on a topic (and it appears to be), then those stubs need to be sorted into some sort of rational order. Simply saying "geo-stubs aren't split by landform" as if that was handed down on stone tablets isn't really a useful answer. -- [[User:Mattinbgn|Mattinbgn]]\<sup>[[User talk:Mattinbgn|talk]]</sup> 02:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Weak Support''' Seems as there are 300 stubs specifically on rivers and there appears to be people interested in expanding them I think we should do it. I wouldn't recommend doing this for everywhere obviously but sorting into districts would really take a lot of hard work sorting, especially as many rivers tracend multiple district barriers. Increasingly with a notable WP:Rivers and Wp:Mountains group there is a stronger case for developing specific categories. I know the convention is by geographical area and I fully support this but in areas whre there are a LOT of rivers like Brazil too etc I think it would be perfectly acceptable to have stub categories for rivers. We create new stub sub categories and templates everyday within a given genre yet we place every geography articles even though there may differ widely from waterfalls or rivers to towns in the same category. I support this in principle in the way that Grutness does but I think this would make sense in the current situation with New South Wales anyway. A lot of editors are not interested in towns for sintance but will gladly work on physical features such as rivers and lakes. This does NOT mean I want to Slovenia-lake-stub or anything all across wikipedia, where possible we should STICK to by area but in rare cases like this it makes more sense, especially as editors seem to want it to work through. Personally I don't mind so long as they develop as efficiently as possible.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 08:54, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

There'd be a very good case for upmerged country-specific templates, though (for example, {{tl|Botswana-university-stub}} and {{tl|Namibia-university-stub}}) all linking to the continent-wide category.

Thanks for the responses. The universities I was referring to are the universities in the 15 different countries of the SADC, which does include South Africa, but also 14 other countries! The reason I had proposed a separate stub is that this would be in line with economic/political developments - the African Union, NEPAD support a regional approach to issues like higher education and the SADC is the local regional bloc. However I take the point that Wikipedia is not currently set up like that. I see that South African Universities are (the only) sub category of Africa University stubs - is Grutness above suggesting that {{tl|Botswana-university-stub}} and {{tl|Namibia-university-stub}})etc all be made sub categories in the same way as South Africa? It seems a good idea to me and I would be happy to try and do this for the 14 SADC countries, not quite sure how to do it, and whether I would need permission? Maybe some one can advise?[[User:Rdhenson|Rdhenson]] ([[User talk:Rdhenson|talk]]) 12:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd support the creation of the Botswana and Namibia templates as with any others for Africa, I wasn't sure whether we had any made yet. In some African countries there are a notable number of universities and colleges. If there are over 60 stubs for the SADC countries I'd support a creation {{cl|Southern Africa university stubs}} using upmerged templates by country.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 16:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Forgive my ignorance - I am not quite sure what is meant by "upmerging templates"? From what I have seen most universities are linked to existing templates for their respective countries eg{{tl|Botswana-university-stub}}{{tl|Namibia-university-stub}} etc and many, but by no means all are also linked to {{tl|Africa-university-stubs}}. Would "upmerging" the templates basically mean doing away with the individual country-university-stubs and replacing them with eg Southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa?[[User:Rdhenson|Rdhenson]] ([[User talk:Rdhenson|talk]]) 15:37, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
:Upmerging means creating templates for all the countries, but having them feed into more general categories until such time as there are enough for a separate dedicated category (60 per normal stub-sorting requirements). Where there are enough stubs for separate country-level categories, they can be separately proposed (and would almost certainly be speediable) - if there aren't enough, they'd remain upmerged. So, for example, {{tl|Angola-university-stub}} would categorise articles into {{cl|Angola stubs}} and either {{cl|Africa university stubs}} or a new {{cl|Southern Africa university stubs}}; if it ever has 60 stubs using it as a template, then a new {{cl|Angola university stubs}} would be created.

==={{tl|earwig-stub}}===
{{sfp create}}
Many other orders of [[insect]]s have stub templates, {{tl|ant-stub}}, {{tl|beetle-stub}}, {{tl|butterfly-stub}}, {{tl|damselfly-stub}}, {{tl|dragonfly-stub}}, et cetera, and [[:Category:Earwigs]] and its subcats are growing at a relatively-fast pace. It already contains about 150 pages, and a good percentage of those are stubs (about 140 of them). Seeing how it is generally appropriate to use alternatives to {{tl|insect-stub}}, and how [[:Category:Insect stubs]] is getting larger and larger, I think that {{tl|earwig-stub}}, and the associated cat, [[:Category:Earwig stubs]], is a good idea. The general rule would be that every article in [[:Category:Earwigs]] (and subcats) with the template {{tl|insect-stub}} already in it should be given the {{tl|earwig-stub}} template. Is there any support for this idea?

::I think that this is the only one listed on that page which is likely to require a stub category. The Asian committee doesn't seem to have any descendant articles (and if a stub template was needed COMSATS-stub would be more appropriate anyway), COMSAT has the possibility for a few descendants, but I am not currently aware of any stub categorisation by individual company. Anyway, most of the potential descendant articles are covered by corporation-stub and spacecraft-stub (the ones covered by spacecraft-stub are actually communications satellites, so would be covered by this proposal). If a stub were required for the band, it would use the full name, so that is not an issue, and again I don't think such a type is likely anyway. I don't think the UNIX feature even has its own article, let alone a requirement for a stub category. I'm fairly confident that communications satellites are the most common usage of "comsat" anyway. If there is still an issue then the name is associable, but I don't see any problems, and a shorter name would be preferable to a long one (the alternative would be {{lt|communications-satellite-stub}}).  --'''''[[User:GW Simulations|<span style="color:#115566;">G</span>]][[User talk:GW_Simulations|<span style="color:#496636;">W</span>]]'''''[[Special:Contributions/GW_Simulations|…]] 10:15, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
