Proposals, October 2009

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.

Encompassing category which would be home to around 100 stubs and several subcategories. Speediable?--TM 00:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Seems to be somewhere around 200 articles tagged with {{NewHampshire-NRHP-stub}}, and more are being created; perhaps it's time to break the category out into one of its own. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:07, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Through some serious recent expansion, this category contains just a hair under 1,000 articles and exactly 0 templates. Propose speedy creation of templates for the 36 States of Nigeria with the expectation that all 36 will soon have enough for categories of their own.--TM 20:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Support, with the caveat that some may need dabbigh (e.g., {{EdoNG-geo-stub}}, since Edo's also the former name of Tokyo) The following would probably be the correct names for templates:
I'd also support categories (in the form Category:Foo State geography stubs) for any that reach 60. Grutness...wha? 23:36, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Support plenty of missing LGAs too. Himalayan 13:40, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Comment The sooner we create the templates and notify the creator of the hundreds of new articles, the easier the sorting job will be.--TM 13:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Support. Meant to earlier, but forgot, sorry. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

A quick scan reveals 70-odd articles tagged with {{Austria-painter-stub}} - time for the cat to be made? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

That is speediable.. Himalayan 22:36, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I propose the creation of {{Bulgaria-company-stub}}, upmerged to Category:European company stubs and Category:Bulgaria stubs. Likewise {{Albania-company-stub}}, upmerged to Category:European company stubs and Category:Albania stubs. -- Eastmain (talk) 00:49, 28 October 2009 (UTC) A while back I proposed to create company templates by country.... I never know what gets done around here anymore.... Himalayan 22:35, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Split of Category:Observatory stubs (and rename of same)

Not desperately needed yet, with some 460 stubs, but it's probably worth splitting these, either by location or type of telescope (radio/optical). Given that a considerable number of observatories have both radio and optical equipment, it's probably best to split by country. The following is already category-worthy, and would greatly reduce the load in the main category:

No others have more than a dozen or so stubs, so a split by continent (possibly with by-country templates) seems more appropriate elsewhere - although many of these stubs aren't in the appropriate category in the Category:Astronomical observatories by country tree. Note, BTW, the addition of the word "astronomical" in the category title - this matches the parent permcat, and I've nominated Category:Observatory stubs for renaming at SFD to match it. Grutness...wha? 00:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

China garden stub. Category:Asian garden stubs Starzynka (talk) 22:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

...is currently empty. However, I've noticed a number of new articles on Cambodan films coming down the pike. CatScan reveals 32 articles of 2000 bytes or less in Category:Cambodian films. Furthermore, there are 26 in Category:Thai films, 37 in Category:Indonesian films, and 16 in Category:Malaysian films. Might I suggest the following?

All uploading into Category:Asian film stubs for the moment. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Well spotted, definate support. Himalayan 13:57, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

750 stubs, oversized. Create templates by Districts of Serbia?

I'd recommend a category split by statistical region although like Bulgaria and SLovenia I think they are informal historical regions:

Again a little bit of detective work will be needed to organize this way.

Category contains just under 800 articles. Suggest creating upmerged stubs which feed into continental categories, e.g. Category:African government stubs etc. Thoughts?--TM 16:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

In fact I would go as far to make a bold proposal of creating templates by every country and upmerging regionally, beginning with Category:African government stubs etc. I'd support say a {{Nigeria-government-stub}} etc and upmerge. Himalayan 13:42, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Yea, that is what I meant. Seeing no objections, I'll begin this large project.--TM 17:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Support, you don't know this Rosie but one of those articles is about my aunt.. Himalayan 13:40, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Very cool :) --Rosiestep (talk) 16:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
