1260 articles. 11 kreise. While I don't want to truncate any possible fascinating, full and frank discussion, this looks like it'll be pretty straightforward. Alai 05:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I propose a stub on the writer Madeline Moore.
Author Felix Baron/Michael Crawley would like to add an autobiographical stub.
- You didn't read the instructions did you? The bit that says "If you wish to propose the creation of a stub ARTICLE you've come to the wrong place." BTW, given your user name, (the initial comment was by User:Madeline Moore) I suspect there may be a conflict of interest. Grutness...wha? 22:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

How about a subcategory of Category:Science book stubs for technical books about computing? There is already Category:Mathematics literature stubs and many of the "science books" are computer books. At the very least, this would help people find non-computer science book stubs. — The Storm Surfer 20:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds plausible. Any idea of likely size? Would it by any chance with the horrendously-sized Category:Computer stubs? Put me down for an upmerged template at the very least. Alai 05:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Cattersect shows 22 articles in both Category:Science book stubs and Category:Computer books and 20 articles in both Category:Science book stubs and Category:Computer science books. There's a far smaller overlap with Category:Computer stubs or Category:Computer science stubs. So there's definitely enough for a template, though a category may still be some way away. Support upmerged template for now, though. Grutness...wha? 09:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Oo, new toy. Looks like you're right about the present location of these, though I think you're missing the (other) subcats of Category:Computer books: I count 54 from that tree in total. So viability looks fairly likely, given even a smattering from elsewhere, or at least close. (Though I don't guarantee there are any elsewhere: everything in Category:Computer stubs seems to be double-tagged, and I could find nothing at all in Category:Software stubs...) Alai 05:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- I found 'em: there was a bunch lurking in the non-fiction books, which is doubly-handy since those had become oversized (yet again) too. It's a done deal, 84 in there at present. Alai 01:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

This pair of templates have long been an anomaly in the sequence of stub categories between that for the Category:19th century novel stubs and the decade based set that run from Category:1920s novel stubs to Category:2000s novel stubs. Currently each load Category:Novel stubs which is still overpopulated and includes many articles that need further sorting. This process is hampered by repeatedly falling over articles that would naturally sort to these categories is approved. Each of these now appear to have around 50 articles and seem to grow rather than reduce over time. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- if "whatlinkshere" is any judge, there are 68 articles with the 1910 template, so that's a definite speedy support. There are 56 with the 1900 one - enough for a non-speedy support, though another four stubs would be nice :) Grutness...wha? 09:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have built both of these as the article count has grown - so I am treating this a both supported. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:29, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

While not 100% sure of the figures, I know there are nearly 20 basketball biography stubs and a good number of boxing-bios as well. The parent category Category:Nigerian people stubs, is definite due for another split and this is a good place to begin.--Thomas.macmillan 06:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- No objection to an upmerged template, but oppose a category until there's evidence for numerical viability (I count around 44, btw), or indeed need (the parent's barely over one listings page, after all). Alai 20:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- Created upmerged template, and combined with other templates, there is a total of 57. We can either wait for it to rise or just go ahead and create it, which I think is the better option.--Thomas.macmillan 03:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think I can refrain from hauling it off to SFD for the want of three articles. :) Alai 05:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support category as we already have football and athletics subcats so 57 articles and 2 subcats I think is enough for a category. Waacstats 07:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I'd missed the two subcats, sorry. I'd have supported in the first instance had I cottoned on. Alai 08:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Propose {{Cuba-baseball-bio-stub}} as well as {{DominicanRepublic-baseball-bio-stub}} along with the appropriate categories. Cuba is an obvious example, as there are 136 articles in Category:Cuban baseball players and over 330 articles Category:Cuban people stubs. A Category:Cuban sportspeople stubs would probably be useful too, considering how many stubs there actually are (Athletics has already been broken down). The Dominican Republic, while only having 112 articles in Category:People of the Dominican Republic stubs, has over 280 articles in Category:Dominican Republic baseball players.--Thomas.macmillan 19:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds very logical. Support. Alai 22:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support. nb A cuba-sport-bio-stub would be viable with or without the baseball-bios I did a quick count and got at least 70 marked as stubs with about 36 being boxers so suggest an upmerged {{Cuba-boxing-bio-stub}} as well (though this may need a seperate proposal). Waacstats 09:29, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Nah, I think it barely needs that one: support such an upmerged template. Alai 22:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Two more countries (well, one country and one country-like entity) have reached the 60-stub level, so I'd like to speedy:
Grutness...wha? 13:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Propose speedy creation of the following categories as the corresponding templates have over 60 articles each.
- Category:Pennsylvania sports venue stubs (64)
- Category:Ohio sports venue stubs (69)
- Category:North Carolina sports venue stubs (61)
