Languages spoken by country stubs

Hi fellow Wikipedians. I am looking at the Category:Nigeria stubs. It looks like there are too many language-related stubs in each of them. I have just created the submerged template {{Nigeria-lang-stub}} which would eventually help de-populate the already big Category:Nigeria stubs. So, my proposal is to create a Category:Language stubs by country, which would include all eventual country-specific language stub categories. What do you say?

Do not support. In this case, consider this one vote. I'm frankly concerned about how to interpret "language spoken in Nigeria". I'll use an example from my experience: English is the only official language in the USA. But many companies hire people that speak fluent Spanish, because of the need to communicate with immigrants from Central and South America. Because Spanish has become so prevalent in the US, I could approve an argument that Spanish is spoken in the USA. But, take it a step further. There are conclaves of many different language groups especially in larger cities. Is it fair to say that Chinese or Korean is a language spoken in the USA just because a few neighborhoods might retain the language of their homeland? Do we say that French is "spoken" in the US, just because a large number of schools teach French classes, even though the language is not prevalently used in day-to-day activities? Thus, I find it dangerous first to say what languages are or are not "spoken" in a given country.

Beyond this, I have my doubts that we'll be able to create a need for a "Language stubs by country". Consider: How many countries really have more than 60 languages prevalently in use? For each of those, how many of the languages would be a) documented but b) documented only by stub articles on this English wikipedia? Dawynn (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Just looking at the articles tagged with {{Nigeria-stub}}, and see that there are a lot of language articles for Nigeria. Please wait for other opinions. My naïveté may not be the last word on this subject. Dawynn (talk) 14:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

North Kalimantan Geo Stub Template

Propose new template under the Kalimantan Geography Stub category for the newly created province of North Kalimantan in Indoensia. Would allow districts which were formerly part of East Kalimantan and filed under the {{EKalimantan-geo-stub}} template to become associated with North Kalimantan.
