Proposals, October 2010
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 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.
NEW PROPOSALS
Split of Category:Texas university stubs
Final speedway sort
Category:Motorcycle speedway stubs has reached 372 and Category:Speedway biography stubs has reached 322 after sorting (only a very small proportion had any type of stub-tag at all before). I propose to split these up a little:
- Category:Motorcycle speedway stubs/{{motorcycle-speedway-stub}} - Currently 372, reduced to 24 (all venues) with the categories below
- Category:Speedway biography stubs/{{speedway-bio-stub}} 322 - reduced to cat of 221 and template usage of 155
- Category:United Kingdom speedway biography stubs/{{UK-speedway-bio-stub}} - 101
- Upmerged {{Poland-speedway-bio-stub}} - 35
- Upmerged {{Australia-speedway-bio-stub}} - 31
As before, if anyone prefers motorcycle-speedway over speedway I'm completely malleable on it. This would make Category:Motorcycle speedway stubs a little small so we could leave the team stubs upmerged to it if preferred. SeveroTC 12:47, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support whichever name is decided upon. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support at proposed names with the possible exception of UK/British category depending on the outcome at deletion. (suggest we create an upmerged UK template till we have a decision). Waacstats (talk) 20:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
As promised - it should just be viable at 61 now. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- Speedy Support based on Haitian precedant. Waacstats (talk) 11:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Speedy♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:05, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
To go with the Caribbean bio stub category: I have to do a little looking, but I think there should be enough for a category. If not, that can be remedied quickly enough. :-) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- I think we have a Category:Haitian painter stubs that could be put in there as well. Waacstats (talk) 20:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- There will hopefully be a Cuban one soon...it lacks something like five articles, and I'll get to the books this evening. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
South American writer stub templates
We already have five - for Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Paraguay; what of the remaining countries? I'd like to propose {{Bolivia-writer-stub}}, {{Peru-writer-stub}}, {{Uruguay-writer-stub}}, {{Ecuador-writer-stub}}, {{Guyana-writer-stub}}, {{Suriname-writer-stub}}, and {{Venezuela-writer-stub}} All upmerged to Category:South American writer stubs for the moment. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- Haven't we got these already, speedy support. Waacstats (talk) 20:26, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- Strong support, excellent catch.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:04, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
I've just gone through all of Category:Turkey stubs, sorting and adding the newly made templates. (I can now say with some certainly that Turkey is full of banks, defunct airlines, and factions of the communist party!). {{Turkey-hist-stub}} has just nosed past the 60-article mark, so could be speedied, no? Grutness...wha? 05:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support speedy. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Same as below - {{Sweden-composer-stub}} is now in use on 70-odd articles (not sure of the exact number). Time to speedy the cat? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:05, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- I assume you were looking at this template: {{Sweden-composer-stub}}. With 69 articles, and plenty of precedent from other countries, I agree with the speedy. Dawynn (talk) 15:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- I was, yes - thanks. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
I've been busy tonight - {{Chile-writer-stub}} is in use on at least 70 articles, and I'm still running a stub sort. Speedy this, perhaps? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:17, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- 81 articles, and plenty of precedent from other countries. I approve the speedy. Dawynn (talk) 15:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
British India Military Stub
The British Indian Army units were divided between the armies of India and Pakistan after 14/15 August 1947. We have stubs for {{India-mil-stub}} which was earlier used both for old British Indian Army units and present Indian Army units. The stub includes an image of the post-independence Indian army flag. Some of the British Indian Army units went to Pakistan, as such it is inappropriate to show two nation's modern army stub tags for the same unit. Before this leads to edit wars, it is proposed to create a British Indian Army stub, {{BritishIndia-mil-stub}} so that all former units of the British Indian Army would be so demarcated. This would aid Britishers and interested editors to develop these stubs seperately. The national army stub i.e. {{India-mil-stub}} or {{Pakistan-mil-stub}} would be added in addition so that stubs are appropriately grouped for convenience of editing by respective national military history task forces and interested editors.
A total of 143 stubs from 302 articles in Category:Indian military stubs would be relocated to the British India military stub, if proposal is accepted. The Brotish Indian Army units already have an article category, British Indian Army regiments which has 234 articles under it and its two subcategories. A new stub category Category:British Indian Army stubs would be created if this stub proposal is approved. AshLin (talk) 19:54, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support Save on potential conflict between two groups and allows for specialists to find articles easily. Dabbler (talk) 20:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Again...should just squeak past 60. With any luck, we can really winnow Category:European composer stubs down some more. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
You know the drill by now, I think. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:48, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
J-pop albums
Another day, another album subcat to upmerge: {{2000s-jpop-album-stub}}. Same old, same old. 75.189.192.117 (talk) 05:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- We already have a {{Japan-album-stub}} would {{2000s-japan-album-stub}} be a better name or are you thinking of a stub specifically for j-pop albums specifically as apposed to japanese albums generally. Waacstats (talk) 11:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Depends on whether you think J-pop and J-rock (probably the majority of what'd go in there) are sufficiently similar to be lumped together. 75.189.192.117 (talk) 13:11, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Just to help out below, {{Netherlands-composer-stub}} has been nudged passed 60. Speedy?? Waacstats (talk) 22:28, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support speedy. Thanks - I was looking where to go next. :-) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
{{Netherlands-business-bio-stub}} has over 60 articles, speedy?
- Support speedy. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
As below, so here - just over 60 tagged with {{Hungary-composer-stub}}. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:24, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support as speedy as below. Waacstats (talk) 21:44, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
A little rooting around in Category:Spanish composers was enough to get {{Spain-composer-stub}} over the threshhold; it should be at 60-some right now. That will go some way towards reducing the borderline-overwhelming thing that is Category:European composer stubs. I'll do the same for Hungary in a bit; that can be pushed over the limit soon enough, I think, too. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:59, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Beat me to it, I was just looking at reducing Category:Spanish people stubs! Waacstats (talk) 21:44, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Just hit 60 on {{2000s-progressive-rock-album-stub}} and I'm not even close to being done. Time for a cat now? 152.23.21.245 (talk) 22:26, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
- 'twould seem so - and that would be a speedy, I suspect. Grutness...wha? 23:48, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
- Definitely, in fact - a separate category's already been more or less approved below, here. Grutness...wha? 11:31, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support speedy. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:32, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Motorcycle speedway stubs
Propose creation of {{motorcycle-speedway-stub}} - currently there are 52 articles tagged as {{motorcycle-racing-stub}} in the Category:Motorcycle speedway category tree but I suspect there are many, potentially hundreds of untagged articles (such as 1930 Star Riders' Championship, 1948 Speedway National League Division Three and similar season articles), so also propose creation of Category:Motorcycle speedway stubs as subcat of Category:Motorcycle racing stubs as and when 60 transclusions of the template is reached. SeveroTC 10:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Given that we already have a bio cat I see no problem with this, but do we need the "Motorcycle" in the category and template as we don't in the bio cat? Waacstats (talk) 20:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support either title. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- The main category is at Category:Motorcycle speedway and the main article is at Motorcycle speedway, hence my suggestion here, but all sub-categories drop the word motorcycle (eg Category:Speedway by country). I proposed {{speedway-bio-stub}} having not realised where the main category/article were and it's in line with Category:Speedway riders (the main bio parent cat). Pro's for {{motorcycle-speedway-stub}}: main article/category and keeps in line with {{motorcycle-racing-stub}}/{{motorcycle-sport-stub}}. Pro's for {{speedway-stub}}: reflects wider Wikipedia usage. I don't really favour one in particular. SeveroTC 07:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support either title. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks to a small run recently by Dr. Blofeld, and a little end-run by me, {{CzechRepublic-painter-stub}} has been applied to just over 60 articles, by my count, and I intend on working up a couple more shortly. Time for a category, no? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:51, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Speedy Waacstats (talk) 17:39, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Split of Category:American musician stubs
Another one that is getting close to oversized, looks like the following a both viable
- {{US-classical-musician-stub}} / Category:American classical musician stubs catscan
- {{US-brass-musician-stub}} / Category:American brass musician stubs catscan
With categories at United States if that is the outcome at discussions. Waacstats (talk) 12:22, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support whichever outcome we arrive at. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:40, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- add to that {{US-DJ-stub}} / Category:American DJ stubs catscan. Waacstats (talk) 12:02, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
split of Category:Given name stubs
Surprisingly there is no stub template for this, despite having so many. {{Indian Given Name stub}} Connormlh (talk) 02:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- That would be {{India-given-name-stub}}, but we don't really have that many... Category:Given name stubs is only about a third of the way to the point where splitting it would be a priority, and a random sampling of the ones we have suggests that only about 30 are of Indian origin. Once this gets to a splittable size, it would perhaps make more sense to split into male and female names anyway. Grutness...wha? 06:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with G, this doesn't look necesary at the moment (Surnames however!) and splitting male / female may be of more use. Waacstats (talk) 11:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Surnames perhaps...but male/female could be dicey, as I can think of a number of such names off the top of my head that are either-or (Courtney, Kelly, Claire, Carol and its variations, all come to mind.) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:05, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Another one without an upmerged template that appears to be over 60 catscan Propose template {{Portugal-artist-stub}}. Waacstats (talk) 20:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Already have the tempaltes for this, the one problem is that we have an undersized Singer category, I propose that we delete the singer cat after creating the musician cat. Waacstats (talk) 19:16, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
As below so above, this time I suggest two templates {{Serbia-musician-stub}} and {{Serbia-singer-stub}} should be over 60 catscan. Waacstats (talk) 18:56, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Believe it or not we don't even have an upmerged tempalte for the above but it seems that there are 60 articles within the Portuguese bio stub heirachy and musician stub heirachy that could go in here catscan Waacstats (talk) 12:31, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support, by all means. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
split of Category:Algae stubs and Category:Chromalveolate stubs
Surprised we don't have this; looking at Category:Airports in Suriname suggests we could get forty easy. Uploading to Category:South American airport stubs, of course - unless I find twenty-odd lurking in the underbrush unexpectedly. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:17, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Speedy based on exsting templates for other countries. Waacstats (talk) 14:15, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
split of Category:Tortricinae stubs
Oversized, looks like Category:Archipini stubs / {{Archipini-stub}} should be viable and get this below the 800 threshold. Waacstats (talk) 10:22, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Split of Category:Geometry stubs
Oversized, looks like Category:Polychora stubs {{Polychora-stub}} should be viable and get this below the 800 threshold. Waacstats (talk) 10:20, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Oversized propose a split by decade to match US category for example {{UK-business-bio-1960s-stub}} and either Category:United Kingdom business biography, 1960s birth stubs or Category:British business biography, 1960s birth stubs whichever one wins out. Waacstats (talk) 10:15, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Split of Category:Turkey stubs
Category:Turkey stubs isn't yet at the stage where it needs to be split, and there's considerable under-sorting in it, but it looks like a {{Turkey-hist-stub}} and {{Turkey-org-stub}} would both be viable - the first would have at least 50 (probably far more - the Turkish titles mean nothing to me); the second would have well over 100 - of which almost 60 would be political parties, so a {{Turkey-party-stub}} may be worthwhile as well. Grutness...wha? 00:18, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's not as bad as it was as I've just taken out a load of sports stubs but yes it is still in need of a good tidy and these look like the tools needed. Support. Waacstats (talk) 09:35, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
{{Flood-stub}} (upmerged)
Probably worthwhile having this upmerged into Category:Disaster stubs and Category:Weather event stubs - there's at least 30 stubs that could take this template at the moment, and chances are there are many more hiding in various history stub categories. Grutness...wha? 23:21, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- G is back!! Support. Waacstats (talk) 09:34, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Just visiting :) Grutness...wha? 21:35, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- glad to see you back even if it is only for a visit. Waacstats (talk) 14:16, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! :) Grutness...wha? 22:16, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- glad to see you back even if it is only for a visit. Waacstats (talk) 14:16, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Just visiting :) Grutness...wha? 21:35, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support, yay. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:13, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Speedway riders
{{speedway-bio-stub}} and Category:Speedway biography stubs as subcat of Category:Motorcycle sport biography stubs and Category:Speedway riders. Currently 83 articles in Category:Speedway riders tagged with either {{motorcycle-sport-bio-stub}} or {{motorcycle-racing-bio-stub}}. SeveroTC 08:51, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
More album subcategories
Another that'll definitely hit 60: {{2000s-progressive-rock-album-stub}}. 152.23.57.41 (talk) 14:37, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Looks like someones been busy as there are over 100 articles tagged with {{Australia-bio-stub}} and some form of {{Bishop-stub}}, propose a {{Australia-bishop-stub}} to group them all under the above category. Waacstats (talk) 13:12, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Category:Canadian people stubs is starting to push upto 800 and {{Canada-crime-bio-stub}} has 60 articles. Speedy? Waacstats (talk) 10:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support speedy - it'd be criminal not to. (Sorry.) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:27, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Starting to get quite large propose the following which both seem viable.
- {{US-pageant-bio-stub}} / Category:United States beauty pageant contestant stubs
- {{Venezuela-pageant-bio-stub}} / Category:Venezuela beauty pageant contestant stubs
willing to change the first cat to American depending on the outcome of the discussion at WP:WSS/d. Waacstats (talk) 09:36, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support whichever the outcome may be. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:27, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Category:Australian people stubs is pushing close to 800 and {{Australia-mil-bio-stub}} is used over 60 times. Speedy? Waacstats (talk) 09:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
{{2000s-classical-album-stub}} is now at 60; speedy? Can't do it myself; no username. More album stub categories will likely be coming. Hopefully for those rock albums.... 75.189.192.117 (talk) 02:29, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Category:Fencing biography stubs is currently oversized and no individual country has more than 60 articles so I propose the above fed by any upmerged templates needed of the form {{foo-fencing-bio-stub}} for any european country foo. Waacstats (talk) 11:03, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Category:European newspaper stubs is getting large and it looks like the above fed by {{Ireland-newspaper-stub}} would be over 60. Waacstats (talk) 23:39, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
