I know I have been away for a while so just checking are we still splitting oversized US catgeories in the following way?

Category:Midwestern United States geologic formation stubs

Category:NorthEastern United States geologic formation stubs

Category:Southern United States geologic formation stubs

Category:Western United States geologic formation stubs

Oversized and that is with the templates that don't make 60. Waacstats (talk) 14:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Support - that's the way to go with US regional stub categories which get too big. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:21, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

A few templates I found that are over the 60 thresh-hold, I propose the relevant categories

{{Russia-judo-bio-stub}} - Category:Russian judo biography stubs

{{France-wrestling-bio-stub}} - Category:French sport wrestler stubs

also the templates that would upmerge to Category:Nicaraguan sportspeople stubs have a total of 60 so propose that as well

Finally with the Nicaragua category above that just leaves Belize in Central America with out the appropriate category, given the dispersal of these articles I propose we add this category, despite it not reaching 60 just to tidy it up a bit.

ono my travels I have found these sport related template/categories would help reduce large (not oversized) categories or tidy up others.

{{France-athletics-Olympic-medalist-stub}} - Category:French athletics Olympic medalist stubs

{{France-cycling-Olympic-medalist-stub}} - Category:French cycling Olympic medalist stubs

{{Germany-cycling-Olympic-medalist-stub}} - Category:German canoe Olympic medalist stubs (should this be canoeing?

{{Acrobatic-gymnastics-bio-stub}} - Category:Acrobatic gymnastics biography stubs.

Hope no one minds, that i lobbed these in one proposal

Support. For the German proposal, I would use canoeing, because of similar rowing and sailing categories. But I would also change the template to {{Germany-canoe-Olympic-medalist-stub}}. Dawynn (talk) 13:07, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Category:Nigeria geography stubs is already large in size. And since the stub template for Rivers State locations exists, I propose the creation of Category:Rivers State geography stubs. There are about 60 articles on places in the state. Stanleytux (talk) 21:00, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy - what you mean to say is that tere are 60 articles tagged with the relevant stub tags. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:06, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Given that the medalists are at {{Paralympic-medalist-stub}} and all the Olympics categories use {{Olympic-stub}} Before I complete my earlier proposal on splitting this I propse we rename this {{Paralympic-stub}} and then the proposal below follows suit. Just incase anyone hasn't followed I am proposing going from plural to singular. If there is somewhere else that this should be posted please let me know.Waacstats (talk) 00:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

currently third largest stub category. The main split of the non stub parent seems to be by nation so I propose the following which catscan suggests would be large enough.

Category:Geologic formations of France stubs - {{France-geologic-formation-stub}}

Category:Geologic formations of Germany stubs - {{Germany-geologic-formation-stub}}

Category:Geologic formations of Norway stubs - {{Norway-geologic-formation-stub}}

Category:Geologic formations of Canada stubs - {{Canada-geologic-formation-stub}}

Category:Geologic formations of the United Kingdom stubs - {{UK-geologic-formation-stub}}

Category:Geologic formations of the United States stubs - {{US-geologic-formation-stub}}

as the US category would take over half of these, I propose templates for each state and subcategories for any state that reaches 60 along the lines of

Category:Geologic formations of Texas stubs - {{Texas-geologic-formation-stub}}

taking the geo categories and templates as the basis for state names (ie GeorgiaUS and Georgia (U.S. state)). Waacstats (talk) 02:33, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

For the categories, shouldn't we go with the "Foo geologic formation stub", tomatch other regional stub categories? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Fifth largest stub type, 2525 articles, and with no previous split. With other countries we have gone by geographic region represented (not very often given), parliment (vast majority are from the chamber of deputies) or party. I suggest a split by party similar to Germany and France if memory serves, this would give us

Category:National Action Party (Mexico) politician stubs - {{Mexico-politician-NationalAction-stub}} (723 per catscan)

Category:Institutional Revolutionary politician stubs - {{Mexico-politician-InstitutionalRevolutionary-stub}} (950 per catscan)

Category:Party of the Democratic Revolution politician stubs - {{Mexico-politician-DemocraticRevolution-stub}} (464 per catscan)

Category:Ecologist Green Party of Mexico politician stubs - {{Mexico-politician-EcologistGreen-stub}} (106 per catscan)

Category:Citizens' Movement (Mexico) politician stubs - {{Mexico-politician-Citizens'Movement-stub}} (62 per catscan)

Any better suggestions greatly appreciated. if we go with this I would suggest splitting the Institutional revolutionary stubs by dob, but lets cut this down and check the figures first. Waacstats (talk) 01:54, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Categrory is large so I would like to prose a split similar to the Olympics stubs so we would have a separate category for Category:Winter Paralympics stubs populated by {{Winter-Paralympics-stub}} and {{2014-winter-Paralympics-stub}}, {{2010-winter-Paralympics-stub}} etc with categories along the lines of Category:2014 Winter Paralympics stubs for any template that reaches 60.

Looks like the following are at least worthy of an upmerged template. The numbers are the articles in the permanent category. Expecting the majority to also qualify as stubs.

{{Oemini‎-stub}} / Category:Oemini stubs (123 P)
