Proposals, August 2016

Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

NEW PROPOSALS

London sports venue stubs

I propose creating Category:London sports venue stubs/{{London-sports-venue-stub}} - a quick scan gives 63 stubs for this category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 03:19, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

{{1990s-progressive-rock-album-stub}}/Category:1990s progressive rock album stubs

Would be helpful to reduce the size of the very large stub category Category:1990s rock album stubs. There's at least 46 stubs just among the contents of Category:Progressive rock album stubs, and I'm extremely confident that I can find 14 more among the >1,000 stubs in Category:1990s rock album stubs. For reference, Category:2000s progressive rock album stubs has over 100 stubs in it. ~ Rob13Talk 05:00, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

By year cats for Category:1980s country song stubs

Category:1980s country song stubs is a large stub category (>1,000 stubs), but there's no easy way to break it apart by subgenre, as "country music" doesn't have very clearly-defined subgenres. Instead, the only method of potential subcategorization would be {{1980-country-song-stub}}/Category:1980 country song stubs through {{1989-country-song-stub}}/Category:1989 country song stubs. This is unusual within this categorization scheme, but it's comparable to the "song by year" categories and it's unlikely that the large stub category issue will go away anytime soon given the lack of easily-available sources for 1980s songs. All proposed categories would be >60 articles according to Petscan. ~ Rob13Talk 00:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Support - when we have huge stub categories, we need to break them up by any reasonable means we have. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:42, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Philippines region cats

{{MetroManila-geo-stub}} and {{Calabarzon-geo-stub}} are now above 60. Propose speedy creating Category:Metro Manila geography stubs and Category:Calabarzon geography stubs. ~ Rob13Talk 23:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

You can add to this proposal Category:Central Visayas geography stubs (63). Her Pegship (talk) 19:01, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Category:2010s death metal album stubs

Following up to the creation of the stub template below. As expected, I managed to find enough articles to populate this template. It now has 68 transclusions, so a category can be speedied. ~ Rob13Talk 22:21, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

1960s/70s Italian comedy films

Category:1960s Italian film stubs and Category:1970s Italian film stubs are both overly large. Category:1960s Italian comedy film stubs and Category:1970s Italian comedy film stubs could immediately have 171 and 158 stubs, respectively, just by combining those with both {{1960s-Italy-film-stub}}/{{1970s-Italy-film-stub}} and {{1960s-comedy-film-stub}}/{{1970s-comedy-film-stub}}. There's certainly more out there which don't have both stub templates on them, as well. Propose {{1960s-Italy-comedy-film-stub}}/{{1970s-Italy-comedy-film-stub}} and Category:1960s Italian comedy film stubs/Category:1970s Italian comedy film stubs. ~ Rob13Talk 21:43, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Only if we create the entire Category:Italian comedy film stubs tree of stub tags. One we do that, I support any categories in that tree which have at least 60 stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:05, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
I'd support creating additional stub templates for other decades from the 1950s forward and a broad {{Italy-comedy-film-stub}}. The 1950 cutoff is semi-arbitrary, but my point is just that we shouldn't be making a stub template for 1890s Italian comedy film stubs. ~ Rob13Talk 18:51, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Transport(ation) building and structure stubs

I propose creating a full set of {{transport-struct-stub}} for any region which has any of its natural subcat tags, such as {{railstation-stub}} (region may even be part of a city, e.g Brooklyn, which has {{Brooklyn-railstation-stub}}), and categories (either "transport building and structure stubs" or "transportation building and structure stubs, based on other transport(ation)-related categories for the same place, per ENGVAR) where the new tags, along with their natural children, bring the count up to 60. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Correct that rather lovely neologism "transprot", and I'll agree :) Grutness...wha? 02:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Fixed. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 02:45, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

England building and structure stubs

The result of the debate was create.
I was recently surprised to see that Category:England building and structure stubs/{{England-struct-stub}} doesn't exist, especially since the systemic bias here tends to prefer England. Looking at Category:United Kingdom building and structure stubs, In saw that we have several of the natural subcats of Category:England building and structure stubs, although not the category itself. I recommend that we fix this problem. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:53, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Just asking: wouldn't this be Category:English building and structure stubs? Her Pegship (talk) 16:49, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Actual;ly, you're right. I just looked st the immediate parent (United Kingdom, not British), and not at the rest of the tree. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 18:06, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
@Od Mishehu: What are you trying to stub-sort here? The two transclusions that I've just found (Station Theatre (Hayling Island) and The Biggin Hall) were both better stub-sorted to county level. In fact, county-level stub templates exist for most (all?) counties, it's hard to think of a situation which would require {{England-struct-stub}}. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:11, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Stub sorting isn't a question of all or nothing; the fact that some one, seeing a stub about a building in England, would automatically place an {{England-struct-stub}} on it, is a reason to have that template. Same reason we have a {{NewYork-NRHP-stub}} tag - it allows for partial stub dorting by someone who knows the article is in the state of New York, without forcing them to check which county it's in. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 02:44, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

I'd definitely say yes to the category, but I'd have made it parent-only. Everything is in a county. Given that it's made though, it ill suffice for structures in counties which don't (yet) have their own templates. Grutness...wha? 07:17, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

The counties currently lacking B&S stub cats are: Cambridgeshire; Derbyshire; East Riding of Yorkshire; East Sussex; Hertfordshire; Isle of Wight; Leicestershire; Northamptonshire; Nottinghamshire; Rutland; South Yorkshire; West Sussex; West Yorkshire; Worcestershire. For each of these, the relevant region-level cat (Category:East Midlands building and structure stubs; Category:East of England building and structure stubs; Category:South East England building and structure stubs; Category:West Midlands (region) building and structure stubs; Category:Yorkshire building and structure stubs) exists, and if there are sufficient, we might split them out to county cats. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:09, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

{{2000s-trip-hop-album-stub}}

The result of the debate was create template.

A Petscan indicates that exactly 60 stubs within Category:2000s electronic album stubs (a very large category in need of diffusion) could likely be sorted into a trip hop-specific category. Given that this is right on the edge, it's possible there won't be enough to justify the category immediately, but it's worth the template. ~ Rob13Talk 03:54, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Support template immediately, support category if there are enough stubs to use it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I propose creating Category:London sport stubs/{{London-sport-stub}} as the intersection of Category:English sport stubs and Category:London stubs - even without the Olympics stub tag I've upmerged there, we have 65 stubs for this category. And we have 3 separate Summer Olympics which took place there, one of them with a full-sized category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 05:28, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Working through the above category (many of the stubs depressingly don't say where the formations are - they could be anywhere from Zambia to Fiji - slowly trying to find out where they are).

Each of these would have at least 30-40 stubs, and the Africa one will probably get very close to threshold. The three national-level templates should be speediable, given precedent. Grutness...wha? 08:18, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

I overestimated with India - it would only get to about 20 stubs. Grutness...wha? 11:31, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
