If I'm proposing painters, I should propose sculptors as well, I suppose.

Not sure there would be enough for a Category:South American sculptor stubs as yet, but that shouldn't be hard to make possible... --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:39, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

As with composers - with a couple of rubs. I propose creating most of the following:

Six are already created, but they aren't used on many articles. Furthermore, Category:Brazilian painter stubs is underpopulated. Here's my thinking: if Category:Brazilian painter stubs is deleted for the moment, and depopulated, that combined with what is a.) currently stub-tagged and b.) what can potentially be stub-tagged (I know there will likely be enough) should be enough to populate Category:South American painter stubs. This should go some way towards codifying what exists.

Does this make sense? It kind of does in my head, but I'm not sure I'm translating it well. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:29, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me. I'd expect it would get pretty close to 60 stubs if the Brazilian ones are included, but the separate Brazil cat is unlikely to be viable any time soon. Grutness...wha? 23:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I intend (and we all know what road is paved with those) to create a few more stubs on South American composers in the coming weeks. We already have a {{SouthAm-composer-stub}}, but I think it would be easier to break down the tags by individual countries. Thus:

None of them have nearly enough articles for a separate category of their own as yet, so all would feed into Category:South American composer stubs.

Any objections? I'm about to suggest the same with painters. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Just oversized we already have started to split this by department templates and regional categories. I propose we finish this with the following:

Support all, though I'd suggest changing the name of one of those templates to {{MetaCO-geo-stub}} to avoid the potential for confusion. AFAIK there's nowhere else called Meta, but the term does have a lot of WP-specific meanings. Grutness...wha? 22:44, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Change those "districts" to "Districts" (capital D), and you've got my support, too! The other "district" categories need renaming... all the permcats and key articles capitalise the District. Grutness...wha? 22:49, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for not doing this first. Existing railway station stubs in Lincolnshire are allocated either to 'east midlands' or 'yorkshire & the humber', the current structure based on moribund english regions seems to have achieved little by way of reducing the number of stubs. Lincolnshire has an active project, and it makes sense to me to associate the articles more closely with the area people identify with than with discredited 1960s government pipedreams.

I have already found 41 members and have covered less than half of the historic routes. My plan was to build a list, then arm myself with some histories and work toward knocking them off.

I am also keen to have some sort of rational view of what is required for an article about a closed railway station. Thee amount of WP'ble info that exists for e.g. Braceborough_Spa_Halt_railway_station may well not exceed what is there already, and with the evidence of a stub list the Lincolnshire project would be free to decide that such articles may be complete enough.

Thus the stub list could be emptied in 2 or 3 years, which would be more useful than what is happening now.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 06:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest a tempalte upmerged to Category:Linolnshire stubs and whihcever of 'East midlands' and Yorkshire & humberside' it should really belong to till we get 60 then I see no reason not going for the category. Waacstats (talk) 11:40, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Comment Railway station stubs in England are presently broken down by region (which is not "a discredited 1960s government pipedream" but a legally-defined area in current usage). Ceremonial Lincolnshire (the area covered by Wikipedia:WikiProject Lincolnshire) is split between two regions because regional boundaries are drawn along post-1974 county boundaries; the present-day non-metropolitan county of Lincolnshire falls entirely within East Midlands (for which we have {{EastMidlands-railstation-stub}} and Category:East Midlands railway station stubs, with 332 members); to the north of the non-metropolitan county of Lincolnshire lie the unitary authorities North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, which between 1974 and 1996 were part of the County of Humberside, and so they are in Yorkshire and the Humber (for which we have {{Yorkshire-Humber-railstation-stub}} and Category:Yorkshire and the Humber railway station stubs, with 474 members). See also WP:UKCOUNTIES.
Prior to the creation on 27 January 2011 of {{Lincolnshire-railstation-stub}} (and Category:Lincolnshire railway station stubs which presently has 41 members), the only existing subdivisions of any of these regions were: {{GreaterManchester-railstation-stub}} (Category:Greater Manchester railway station stubs presently has 208 members); {{Merseyside-railstation-stub}} (Category:Merseyside railway station stubs presently has 91 members); {{Kent-railstation-stub}} (Category:Kent railway station stubs presently has 84 members).
There is no present Category:Linolnshire stubs (or even Category:Lincolnshire stubs) to which these could be upmerged. The best would be Category:Lincolnshire building and structure stubs (already populated by {{Lincolnshire-struct-stub}}. But even if this is done, the articles so tagged should still be reachable through the tree rooted at Category:United Kingdom railway station stubs. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:53, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
I must say that I( tend to agree with Redrose's comments. Robert, I suggest that this is yet another case where assessment templates make far more sense than stub templates (as explained at WP:STUB#Stub types, WikiProjects, and Assessment templates. A general {{Lincolnshire-stub}}/Category:Lincolnshire stubs would certainly make sense, though. Grutness...wha? 18:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Time to breakdown yet another overlarge category. As I did with the Category:Caenogastropoda stubs, so I would like to do here. I'd like to use parent-only subcategories for further sorting.

There is no Canadian Internet Company Stub, although there is a US Internet Company Stub, per:

{{US-internet-company-stub}}

I have seen some instances where Canadian technology companies in general, including Internet companies have been falsely tagged as US Company stubs. If there is a US Internet Company stub, then, presumably, there should be for other countries too where there is a significant technology sector. (How many technology related sectors does Wikipedia recognize?)
Enquire (talk) 07:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

If you see any falsely tagged with a US-related stub, then simply change them to {{Canada-company-stub}}. Yes, a {{Canada-internet-company-stub}} might be worthwhile, and I don't think anyone here would oppose the creation of one, but it's not really dependent on the size of the technology sector - what's more important is the number of stubs which exist which are likely to use the template and how significantly it will reduce the usage of other templates. If there are 1000 internet companies in Canada but only ojne of them has a stub article, there's little point in making the templ,ate - if there are a considerable number, though, it would be worthwhile. How many Canadian internet companies are there with stub articles, approximately? Grutness...wha? 07:52, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I was overlooking some things. The Architaenioglossa category would also pick up {{Ampullariidae-stub}}, {{Viviparidae-stub}}, and Category:Diplommatinidae stubs. So, a category is justified. Dawynn (talk) 12:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
In order to cut down on cross project fighting, I'm choosing to make these parent-only stub categories for now. The mollusc / gastropod projects have indicated that they would rather not stub at any levels outside of families. By creating parent-only categories, we can keep our categories to a minimum, while allowing them to keep stubbing just at family-level. Dawynn (talk) 03:41, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Making a start here, will be back with a few more as the process goes on. 690 articles in Category:European television stubs with some big countries not having their own stubs, and some upmerged templates above threshold.

Category:Airsoft

About 13 stubs that don't have any real classification because they aren't firearms and using the "technology" stub is the only one that fits. If we could have an airsoft one it could help.

  • An upmerged template might be useful, but there are too few stubs for a separate category. Porblem is, where would we upmerge it to? Any suggestions, anyone? Grutness...wha? 04:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Good point, we don't have one for extreme sports, though that's a pretty amorphous category with everything from paintball to bungy to paragliding...

Here's the statistic - now updated after sorting --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:25, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Most meet the speedy criteria already, there is potential for other immediate upgrades (237+91 are still left in generic categories), and it should all be done purely for the sake of consistency anyway. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Only five/six are at or below the limit. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:25, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone actually object to the remaining subcategorization? To summarize, it's 40, 49, 51, 58, 61, 61. The worst case has a total of 214 settlements so other than consistency there's also potential. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
The 40's a bit thin... I'd certainly say the 58's close enough, though. See if we can hunt out with a few more for the three smallest ones. Grutness...wha? 04:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
It would feel inane to leave out just the three smallest ones without their own category, yet practically with their own category because they'll be the only ones left in their upper category. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Based on this discusion, I'd like to propose the following Division level splits. Per the discussion, there will be no division templates:

I will point out that the indicated discussion is from 2007, and only one of the divisions have been created so far. Further, although a category exists for Mysore, none of its districts have been moved under it. Is this just a matter where the work hasn't been completed?
