Proposals, January 2014

Split of Category:United States rail transportation stubs

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was create.
I propose splitting Category:United States rail transportation stubs by state - giving each state a tag and, where there are at least 60 stubs, a category. I aslso propose that we split the country into 4 regions (as we already do for other stub category types, including the child Category:United States railway station stubs). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I see that many of the 778 pages concern railroad companies. I expect that quite a few of these crossed state lines; is the intention to apply two or more stub templates (one per state traversed) to these? --Redrose64 (talk) 11:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Many of these referf to lines or companies within a single state. And anything which mainly belongs to a single state, but crosses state lines, I thinik should also be tagged for that state. Of about a dozen I sampled, only one crosses state lines. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:27, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

The result of the debate was create.
The WashingtonDC-politician-stub was proposed back in 2010 ... and these stub articles don't show up in the Category:Washington, D.C. stubs now, as if they don't exist. What happened? Djembayz (talk) 22:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Please note that the cat proposed was Category:Washington DC politician stubs, not Category:WashingtonDC-politician-stub. As to what happened, the proposal was that the cat should be created at 60+ articles; but presently, {{WashingtonDC-politician-stub}} is used on 41 pages (not all are articles, either). --Redrose64 (talk) 00:14, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for explanation. Do we repost when it gets to 60 articles? Djembayz (talk) 14:17, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I make the current count 62 articles; so yes, I would say it's ready. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:20, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Someone created this as Category:Washington, D.C. politician stubs instead. Dawynn (talk) 13:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

The result of the debate was create.
I propose Category:United States light rail stubs/{{US-tram-stub}} (category name is per ENGVAR, based on permcatr names) - Category:Light rail in the United States has 187 articles tagged with {{tram-stub}}, as well as 128 other articles (total of 315) tagged as stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:18, 2 February 2014 (UTC) Support. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:20, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Propose Category:Eulimidae stubs / {{eulimidae-stub}}. Nearly 600 articles in the perm cat (Category:Eulimidae).

Also propose child category Category:Eulima stubs / {{eulima-stub}}, as this genus has over 150 stub articles. Dawynn (talk) 20:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy proposal. German footballers stubs are split into both position and decade, but these three upmerged templates are missing.

Mentoz (talk) 21:22, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

How many pages will these be used on? How are they stubbed at the moment? I take it that the intention is to have upmerged categories like {{Germany-footy-defender-1880s-stub}}/{{Germany-footy-defender-1900s-stub}}/{{Germany-footy-midfielder-1880s-stub}}/{{Germany-footy-midfielder-1890s-stub}}/{{Germany-footy-midfielder-1900s-stub}}/{{Germany-footy-forward-1900s-stub}}. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:30, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Of the articles that are currently stub-sorted with {{Germany-footy-defender-stub}} or {{Germany-footy-forward-stub}}, there are approx 5-8 articles that will fit in each of the proposed templates, but there are more than 900 articles that use {{Germany-footy-bio-stub}}, so I guess it can be used on some more. Yes, they are intended to work like those other templates. Mentoz (talk) 09:16, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy proposal. Considering that {{US-stage-actor-stub}} redirects over to {{US-theat-actor-stub}}, we already have two established sub-categories, along with a few other templates to add here. Will pick up:

There is a huge Category:Ancient Roman people stubs with over 550 stubs. I propose the creation of a stub template {{Roman-gens-stub}} and its corresponding Category:Roman gentes stubs - please see this scan: 76 stubs. Regards, --Fadesga (talk) 22:31, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

I propose creating Category:Spanish journalist stubs - {{Spain-journalist-stub}} already has 53 transclusions, and a quick scan finds 87 relevant stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Support. Now there are 61 transclusions. Regards, --Fadesga (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

The result of the debate was create.
Category:Arctiidae stubs is well over 3000 articles, and the permanent itself is similarly oversized. Splitting this category into subfamilies results in two oversized subfamilies. There are a few genera that could support a category of their own, but I would propose a tribe-level split to help tame these categories. Propose all of the following templates, with categories for any that pass the 60 article barrier. My intent is to also build similar tribe-level permanent categories.

Dawynn (talk) 12:32, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Support as needed. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:05, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

The result of the debate was create.
I propose Category:Texas high school stubs / {{Texas-high-school-stub}} and Category:Texas school district stubs / {{Texas-school-district-stub}} to deal with the bulk of this parent category that has almost a thousand pages. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 20:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

  • Support 2x templates and 2x categories. A quick glance shows that there are indeed well over 900 articles, and that the majority are School Districts, with High Schools a close second. I take it that Middle Schools and Elementary Schools will remain where they are. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
  • I thought I might start with the two big ones, since the terminology in Texas gets confusing around middle school, intermediate school and junior high school - and since there are fewer of these articles. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 01:32, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Category:Prehistoric mammal stubs is over 400 pages. We currently have 2 upmerged templates - {{paleo-primate-stub}} with 57 transclusions, and {{paleo-whale-stub}} with 67 transclusions. I think we should give each of them a category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 18:48, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Propose finishing the split of Category:Arctiidae stubs along subfamily lines:

The Arctiidae stub category is currently the 2nd largest stub category weighing in at over 3600 articles and growing. Dawynn (talk) 12:22, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Support all tags, and subcats where there are at least 45 stubs (given the size of the parent cat). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Propose building this category under parent Category:Alkene stubs. There are over 60 articles dispersed over Category:Organic chemistry stubs and subcategories. Plasmic Physics (talk) 00:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Oppose - get consensus first for what should go in here. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:38, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
Oppose - Plasmic Physics has dumped a bunch of articles into the cycloalkene stub category, many of which are not cycloalkenes. This has generated a lot of work in reverting back into the broader organic compound stub. This categorization also makes little sense to me and others at the Chemistry WikiProject.
