Speedy.Starzynka (talk) 10:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

split by there regional categories should be enough. Waacstats (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. Most people have never heard of Lower Saxony's districts and this just adds confusion. The proposal should not be carried out unless it has been discussed and agreed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany. The number of stubs is not excessive and quite a few are no longer stubs anyway. I have already removed around thirty by expanding them or deleting them where appropriate and will continue to assist in driving nos. down further. --Bermicourt (talk) 06:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Overisized propose we split by Kantons and Regions possibly upmerged to a Federation of Bosnia and herzegovina and Republic Sprska geo cats.
- Support - I'm working on recategorizing now, should help with stub-tagging. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:11, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
I suggest you create stub templates for municipalities with 60+ villages in them. The others can use Cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina templates. OK?Starzynka (talk) 21:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Propose:
Federation
- {{UnaSanaCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{PosavinaCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{TuzlaCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{ZenicaDobojCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{BosnianPodrinjeCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{CentralBosniaCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{HerzegovinaNeretvaCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{WestHerzegovinaCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{SarajevoCanton-geo-stub}}
- {{WestBosniaCanton-geo-stub}} or {{Canton10-geo-stub}}
Republika

- {{VlasenicaRegion-geo-stub}}

- {{DobojRegion-geo-stub}}
- {{BanjaLukaRegion-geo-stub}}
Seperate municipality templates for 60+
- {{Trebinje-geo-stub}}
- {{Goražde-geo-stub}}
and any other seperate municipality template for those with 60+:
Starzynka (talk) 21:50, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Maybe best to organize categories by canton also like Category:Populated places in the West Herzegovina Canton and then by municipality.Starzynka (talk) 21:52, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
German state structure templates
Given that there are thousands of articles to transwiki and existing could do with organization:
- {{BadenWürttemberg-struct-stub}}
- {{Bavaria-struct-stub}}
- {{Berlin-struct-stub}}
- {{Brandenburg-struct-stub}}
- {{Bremen-struct-stub}}
- {{Hesse-struct-stub}}
- {{MecklenburgVorpommern-struct-stub}}
- {{NorthRhineWestphalia-struct-stub}}
- {{RhinelandPalatinate-struct-stub}}
- {{Saxony-struct-stub}}
- {{SaxonyAnhalt-struct-stub}}
- {{LowerSaxony-struct-stub}}
- {{Saarland-struct-stub}}
- {{SchleswigHolstein-struct-stub}}
- {{Thuringia-struct-stub}}
Dr. Blofeld 11:14, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- No rush for these, but support based on other countries especially if there is going to be a transwiki effort in the future. Waacstats (talk) 15:19, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support for transwikiing --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:11, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Split of Category:Hylidae stubs
The various Hylidae articles were already very well sorted by genus in main categories. Gathering these into subfamily categories allows for some splits amongst the stub categories.
- {{Hemiphractinae-stub}} / Category:Hemiphractinae stubs. Cat scan indicates somewhere around 70 articles.
- {{Pelodryadinae-stub}} / Category:Pelodryadinae stubs. 121 articles.
- {{Phyllomedusinae-stub}} / Category:Phyllomedusinae stubs. 56 articles. Willing to start with an upmerge template, and build to a category, if we can find the extra 4 articles.
- {{Hyline-stub}} / Category:Hylinae stubs. 364 articles so far, and I'm still carving this one. Asking for a few subcategories under this guy:
- {{Dendropsophus-stub}} / Category:Dendropsophus stubs. 91 articles.
- {{Hypsiboas-stub}} / Category:Hypsiboas stubs. 73 articles.
- {{Scinax-stub}} / Category:Scinax stubs. 89 articles.
That should go far toward breaking down what had become an overlarge category. Dawynn (talk) 16:15, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support and we can probably 'find' those extra four articles. Waacstats (talk) 15:17, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Category:Women's association football biography stubs (and national subcats)
The organization of association football biography stubs loses some value of the categorization process IMO. One clear opportunity for improvement is in the categorization of women's football articles. For example, Category:German football biography stubs includes Claudia Müller and Isabell Bachor. The only existing subcategories in which to classify those players would be their position on the field. However, a German women's football enthusiast might wish to assist in expanding stubs for women's footballers, regardless of position.
I didn't go to the effort to quantify the number of articles for such categories, but hopefully it's self-evident that "lots" of stubs would qualify. Regards, PhilipR (talk) 16:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not generally to keen on splitting stub categories by sex but I think this is one of the few areas where there is a massive disparity between the followers of the mens and womens sides. I think that for starters it may be best just to have 1 category as a subcat of Category:Association football biography stubs fed by a generic template {{Women-footy-bio-stub}}? and a few national templates for the larger nations in womens football (Germany, US, China, Norway, Sweden, Brazil) and see how many we have got. I also think it would be an idea to keep them in there current categories where these are more descriptive than the womens category (i.e keeping someone in norwegian midfielder stub cat stays there and goes into the womens cat.)Waacstats (talk) 12:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support what Waacstats suggests - I suspect there are enough American women alone to warrant a separate category. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm glad someone understood what I was rambling on about. Waacstats (talk) 15:48, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
actually {{Ourapterygini-stub}}. 97 articles. Will pull from Category:Ennominae stubs and Category:Geometridae stubs. Dawynn (talk) 12:05, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

- Support Waacstats (talk) 12:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
{{Boarmiini-stub}}. 159 articles. Will pull primarily from Category:Ennominae stubs. Dawynn (talk) 12:05, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

{{Darts-bio-stub}}
I had a look at Category:Darts stubs yesterday; it's not oversized, but even so so many of the stubs are biographical that I think a stub tag is in order. What say y'all? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:16, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support - I created most of them back in 2006! Dr. Blofeld 09:38, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support - Yes, they should be seperated. Mr.Kennedy1 talk 19:38, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
