support (though generally stub sorters use 800 for whether a cat is oversized.) you may also want to check the two stub parents for that one as I'm sure I've sorted some articles that should be in there to both the parents. Waacstats (talk) 22:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to go ahead and create these before the normal five day window, even though this isn't technically a speedy. I'm going to be very busy next week and would like to get to this. We're already almost to 3 days and there's 2 supports. I'll probably start creating them this evening. Any objections? Gosox(55)(55) 16:45, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Speedy support under criterion S2 above as all other US-bar-actor-stub have been split this way. Waacstats (talk) 16:37, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

{{Iran-dam-stub}}

We have a sudden influx of Iranian dam stubs. Not sure if there are 60 yet but I think a template is needed. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Might go ahead and create the category, too - I think we're at sixty. (There were 42 when I worked on 'em the other night, and I know we've had quite a few since.) Support both or either, as the case may be. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:34, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Support template, category if there are 60, given who is involved I'm sure we will have 60. Waacstats (talk) 15:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Couple more Sports video game categories

I'd like to build a couple more sports categories. This is in recognition of the number of Olymipic games, and similar games out there. Often these games have a number of mini-games, allowing the person to play either just one sport or a wide range of sports. Decathalon, X-Games, California Games would also fall into these categories.

(Not sure why no Summer sports main category. California Games isn't exactly an Olympic game series, but its definitely "Summer sports")

I can't think of any packages that try to lump both seasons into a single game package. I'm sure such things are few and far between. Dawynn (talk) 15:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Main article: ZeniMax Media

Proposed new template: {{zenimax-stub}}

This would be a stub category for ZeniMax Media and its subsidiaries. This would help circumvent problems with underpopulated categories for the subsidiaries, also. Notably, templates for {{BethesdaSoftworks-stub}} and {{idSoftware-stub}} could be upmerged to this new template. I think between the three templates (two existing underpopulated, plus the new) there should be enough to justify the new parent category. Dawynn (talk) 02:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Electricity stubs

Currently, the Category:Electronics stubs is a top-level stub category and is oversized. A good part of its contents can be up-merged to the parent Category:Electricity stubs, which does not exist yet, but would be a fine top-level category (or a subcat of Category:Physics stubs). I have already re-stubbed several of the misplaced electronics stubs: please take a look at {{Electric-stub}} and Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Electric-stub. Note that Electronics is just a subset of Electrical engineering, and that marking some articles with "electronics stub" template is rather illogical.

In the end of the day, the scheme should look like:

(Electronics stubs could be further catagorized by {{Consumer-electronics-stub}} but let's do it one step at at time). No such user (talk) 14:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

This seems a reasonable way to go about tidying up this area. Waacstats (talk) 08:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
IMHO, creating a category at this level is already justified. If we declare "Electronics" as a sub-category of "Electricity", then we already have the needed 60 articles by virtue of the subcategory. Dawynn (talk) 19:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Asteroid stubs

Massivley oversized, mainly due to large numbers of main belt asteroids that need moving but could also be cut down slightly by the following

won't cut it down on it's own but I am sorting large numbers out of it. Waacstats (talk) 20:25, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Pennsylvania geography stubs

Oversized, already have by county upmerged templates and the following tempalte has past 70 so propose it has it's own category.

and if anyone knows of any useful regions for the other 60+ counties. Waacstats (talk) 14:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Virginia geography stubs

oversized, uses upmerged templates by county but suggest using 'regions' to breakthisdown a bit

for starters. Waacstats (talk) 00:58, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Hesperiidae stubs

this one is only' slightly oversized. I propose the following splits

should easily cut it down. Waacstats (talk) 13:23, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Basidiomycota stubs

Yet another oversized stub cat I propose teh following subcats

that should keep everything below 800 easily. Waacstats (talk) 13:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Faboideae stubs

another oversized categroy I propose the following

should get close to 70 articles. Waacstats (talk) 13:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Epidendroideae stubs

Another overized cat I propose the following splits

should de oversize this one. Waacstats (talk) 13:03, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Moth stubs

over 1100 articles, propose the following

should be a good start. Waacstats (talk) 12:53, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Noctuidae stubs

another slightly oversized (5000+) the following should be viable

Woin't cut it down much but it's a start. Waacstats (talk) 12:47, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Gastropod stubs

slightly oversized I propose the following splits

Don't think this will get it down to below 800 but would be a good start. Waacstats (talk) 12:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

There would be a good start to verify its existence firstly next time. Cyclostrematidae is a synonym. Others are OK. --Snek01 (talk) 20:04, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

to Waacstats: Also it is quite useless and misleading categorize such articles without knowledge about the theme. Taxonomy of them can, and in some cases often is changing quite often. Then recategorizing became necessary and categorizing of stubs make additional work. Next time categorize only those ones, that you are familiar with (if there are such gastropods). --Snek01 (talk) 22:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Conidae stubs

another oversized category. propose the following genus' be split from the main stub cat

this should de oversize it. Waacstats (talk) 12:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

This over stubbed splitting is against the goal Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting#Project_goals number five: "Ensure that any new stub categories and templates are reasonable, usable, and useful." All other criteria are OK, but there is not usefulness of this. But it is already done... Next time stub sorting of gastropods into families is enough. --Snek01 (talk) 20:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
