NEW DISCOVERIES
Unproposed, but well-formed. Certainly seems sensible and well-populated. Just a shame that its creator didn't think to tell the people who'd be using it that she was considering making it... Grutness...wha? 00:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Glad you agree that it's a good idea. This one seemed so clearly useful according to the usual criteria that there seemed little point in going through the bureaucracy of a five-day delay. I had just been through all the relevant articles for other categorisation purposes, and knew that while many of the articles were stubs, few were stub-tagged. I had time today to do another AWB run to stub tag these categories, so I decided to be WP:BOLD, to go ahead and created the stub tag rather than tag them with less specific stub.
- Anyway, there are probably at least 100 more Irish road articles which don't have any stub tag and await this one, so I'll get on with that tomorrow. It's just a shame that someone who puts in the work of tagging hundreds of untagged stubs gets growled at, but that's life :) --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
{{Autism-stub}} (upmerged)
Unproposed, but seems sensible and - if the articles currently using it are all kosher autism-related articles - there may be enough for a category. Grutness...wha? 00:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- I was going to propose the creation of the category. The reason I created the template was to see if the category is going to have atleast 65 articles. It does. The Category:Psychology stubs has grown very large. It would help if the category gets split into sub-categories. I propose Category:Autism stubs be created to collect Autism related stubs for improvement. In the future, I will make sure to propose new stub templates.

- Fair enough, though it doesn't explain why the template wasn't proposed before creation! Grutness...wha? 23:45, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
{{Pakistan-gov-stub}} (upmerged)
Unproposed . This would possibly be useful - if it had any text! other than two category links, this is an empty template, so is theoretically probably speediable, but if it's of any use it could (should?) be cleaned up. Grutness...wha? 00:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- The {pakistan-stub} is looking a bit overpopulated, could do with some more new stubbs (in my opinion) Pahari Sahib , 07:00, 5th October 2007 (GMT)
- In stub-sorting parlance "overpopulated' means over 800 stubs - this currently has about 650, and many of those are simply undersorted (they should be in the existing subcategories). In any case, an upmerged template isn't going to reduce the category - it would have been far better to find some other subtype that would reach a suitable splitting level (a quick glance at the category suggests several more likely possibilities - Pakistan-corp-stub might get near threshold on energy companies alone, and there seem to be a lot of Pakistan-newspaper-stubs. Moving any pakistan-geo-stubs, pakistan-university-stubs, and pakistan-bio-stubs out of Category:Pakistan stubs and into its subcategories would considerably lower the size of it, though. Grutness...wha? 10:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Unproposed, small, and - given the size of Category:1980s heavy metal album stubs - not needed to split an oversized category. Upmerging might be an option, but is it even needed at that level? Grutness...wha? 00:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Unproposed. As with San Francisco stubs (end of September), and with all the same inherent problems. Grutness...wha? 00:30, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
