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)
- Support; it's viable. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Split of Category:Nigeria geography stubs
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 - I think that would be a good idea. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:28, 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:
- {{AbiaNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Abuja-geo-stub}}
- {{AdamawaNG-geo-stub}}
- {{AkwaIbom-geo-stub}}
- {{Anambra-geo-stub}}
- {{Bauchi-geo-stub}}
- {{Bayelsa-geo-stub}}
- {{Benue-geo-stub}}
- {{BornoNG-geo-stub}}
- {{CrossRiverNG-geo-stub}}
- {{DeltaNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Ebonyi-geo-stub}}
- {{EdoNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Ekiti-geo-stub}}
- {{Enugu-geo-stub}}
- {{GombeNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Imo-geo-stub}}
- {{Jigawa-geo-stub}}
- {{Kaduna-geo-stub}}
- {{Kano-geo-stub}}
- {{Katsina-geo-stub}}
- {{Kebbi-geo-stub}}
- {{Kogi-geo-stub}}
- {{Kwara-geo-stub}}
- {{LagosNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Nasarawa-geo-stub}}
- {{NigerNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Ogun-geo-stub}}
- {{OndoNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Osun-geo-stub}}
- {{OyoNG-geo-stub}}
- {{PlateauNG-geo-stub}}
- {{RiversNG-geo-stub}}
- {{Sokoto-geo-stub}}
- {{Taraba-geo-stub}}
- {{Yobe-geo-stub}}
- {{Zamfara-geo-stub}}
- 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)
- Support. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
{{Bulgaria-company-stub}} Upmerged
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:
- {{US-observatory-stub}}/ Category:United States astronomical observatory stubs (182 stubs)
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)
{{PRC-garden-stub}}
China garden stub. Category:Asian garden stubs Starzynka (talk) 22:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- That would be {{PRChina-garden-stub}}, not PRC-. Support as an upmerged type. We may haqve problems at some point with a category name given that "Chinese garden" is a specific type of garden. As such, it would probably be better to use "Foo garden stubs" rather than "Fooian garden stubs" for individual country category names, but that's definitely open to debate. Grutness...wha? 00:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Support {{PRChina-garden-stub}} as an upmerge to Category:Garden stubs. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:02, 31 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?
- {{Cambodia-film-stub}}
- {{Thailand-film-stub}}
- {{Indonesia-film-stub}}
- {{Malaysia-film-stub}}
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)
Split of Category:Serbia geography stubs
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:
- Category:Vojvodina Region geography stubs
- Category:Belgrade Region geography stubs
- Category:Western Region (Serbia) geography stubs
- Category:Eastern Region (Serbia) geography stubs
- Category:Central Region (Serbia) geography stubs
- Category:Southern Region (Serbia) geography stubs
Again a little bit of detective work will be needed to organize this way.

Split of Category:Government stubs needed
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)
Split of Category:United Kingdom writer stubs
- Category:Welsh writer stubs / {{Wales-writer-stub}} (per CatScan: 139) --Rosiestep (talk) 20:11, 17 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)
No Chinese railway tag?Starzynka (talk) 20:46, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- {{PRChina-rail-stub}} and {{Taiwan-rail-stub}} would be the names for two potential stubs ("China" on its own is only used for history-related stub types with lots of pre-1949 articles). The Taiwan one exists, but one for the mainland would be useful, IMO, even if only as an upmerged type. Grutness...wha? 22:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
