[edit]Stub categories for Cantons of Switzerland
[edit]- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion 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 discussion was keep, possibly look into viability of general stub types for individual Swiss cantons
I propose renaming the following categories and templates:
Rationalle: These stub categories/tags are for the main categories of these cantons, not for the geographical articles about them, For exapmle, Category:Aargau has a category named Category:People from Aargau - clearly not for articles about the geography of Aargau. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 15:56, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. I don't quite understand the rationale behind this - the stub categories may feed into non-geographic permcats, but they are definitely for holding geography stubs and are subcats of Category:Switzerland geography stubs. That's simply a case of repointing the categories where possible, not for deleting/renaming them. If separate non-geo types are needed for the individual cantons, that's a separate argument, and is more something for WP:WSS/P than for here. Grutness...wha? 22:24, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Followup - where there are specific geo permcats for these cantons, the stub categories are now children of them. The fact that there are such permcats in several cases is an indication that the problem is as much, if not more, with the lack of geo permcats for the others than any problem on the part of the stub categories. Grutness...wha? 00:15, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- this, in turn, brigs up an other problem - that geo stub categories should be subcategories of general stub categories for the region - for example, Category:Aargau geography stubs should be a subcategory of Category:Aargau stubs. And in some cases, the region stub category has a small potential population- for example, Category:Basel-Country stubs has a potential population of 96 stubs, and Category:Canton of Jura stubs has only 97 potential stubs. And while the Category:Geography of Aargau category tree has only 35 stubs (clearly undersized), Category:Aargau has 58 (borderline undeersized, could easily excede 60 by the time this discussion is closed). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't really make that much difference whether there's a non-geo stub parent, and in many, if not most, cases for smaller entities this would simply make far more work for no real purpose. The vast majority of geo-stub categories don't have non-geo stub parents, since most stubs about a place are either geo-specific geo-stubs or far less-specific non-geo stubs. Most of the non-geo stubs which relate, say, to Glarus, also relate to most of the rest of Switzerland. Carry this through to its logical extreme - geo-stubs for places in the US go below the state level to the county level: are you suggesting we should have non-geo stub types for every county in the US as well? I suspect that would be both unwieldy and impractical, simply creating a ton more work for no real reward. It's one of the things about WP's stubs that a huge proportion of them are geo-stubs (as I know to my cost, having been sifting and sorting them for several years). And they can be divided by fine subregion in a way that non-geo stubs often can't - which is why there are so often geo-stub categories by subregion but not generic stub cats . As for the undersized nature of the categories, most of the problem there is that many of Switzerland's geo-stubs don't say whereabouts in Switzerland they are. There are over 500 geo-stubs which simply have switzerland-geo-stub because it would need more information to discover which canton they are actually in... but it's a fair assumption that with an average of 20 per canton, some of those close to threshold could be got well past the target if there's a decent effort to find out where these places actually are. Similar sorts of problems exist with the non-stub tree - Category:Geography of Vaud, for instance - if you go by that alone, you'd say that it has no potential for a stub category, as it has only 23 articles. Yet it has over 200 stubs! Switzerland's articles (ironic, given that it's switzerland) are not particularly well organised over-all. Grutness...wha? 23:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- If we were to create none geo categories for these cantons then the articles would also have to go in the swiss geo category which would push it close to oversized and in need of splitting anyway. And as G says not every geo stub needs a none geo stub parent cat. Waacstats (talk) 00:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose upmerging all of the following until they can reach a proper category size. None of these have even reached 20 articles yet. For now, upmerge the templates for all of these to the next higher parent category/categories:
- Category:2010s country album stubs (7 P)
- Category:2010s electronic album stubs (18 P)
- Category:2010s black metal album stubs (2 P)
- Category:2010s thrash metal album stubs (3 P)
- Category:2010s jazz album stubs (5 P)
- Category:2010s pop rock album stubs (3 P)
- Category:2010s rhythm and blues album stubs (9 P)
- Category:2010s pop rock album stubs (3 P)
- Category:2010s punk rock album stubs (11 P)
- Category:2010s folk album stubs (11 P)

The following redirects were originally created as templates, moved soon after creation to the correct names (VA is the digraph for Virginia - VI is the US Virgin Islands). None of these redirects is used, and it's unlikely any will ever be used. One or two of them also have unfortunately confusing names (e.g., KingGeorgeVI-geo-stub). I propose deleting them. (NOTE - this isn't all of them, just an alphabetic batch. Others will be proposed here if this passes, unless there is agreement that all such unused VI redirects can automatically be assumed to be deletable.

I have tried to sort all of the articles under Karnataka geography stubs, but there are still some small district categories under this Indian state. I'm proposing removing the district categories listed below, and upmerging to the indicated Division level categories:
- Upmerge the following categories to Category:Bangalore Division geography stubs
- Category:Chikkaballapur district geography stubs (5 P)
Category:Chitradurga district geography stubs (38 P)- Update: 44 articlesCategory:Davanagere district geography stubs (37 P)- Update: 41 articles- Category:Ramanagara district geography stubs (2 P)
Category:Shimoga district geography stubs (37 P)- Update: 52 articles
- Upmerge the following categories to Category:Belgaum Division geography stubs
- Upmerge the following categories to Category:Gulbarga Division geography stubs
- Category:Bidar district geography stubs (26 P)
Category:Koppal district geography stubs (39 P)- Update: 41 articles
- Upmerge the following categories to Category:Mysore Division geography stubs
I've been generous here, not mentioning categories that have at least 40 articles listed. Dawynn (talk) 13:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Oppose : Valid stub categories. There are 100s of places in those categories waiting to be created. Besides these "Division"s is obsolete now -- Tinu Cherian - 14:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If the Divisions are obsolete, then please update Wikipedia to indicate such. This article would be the best place to start.
- One thing that may help: Someone with better knowledge of Indian geography should review the categories as they stand. I sorted based on current tags, plus a little inference, but my inference may have been way off. And the current tags may not be accurate, especially for areas now found in the newer districts. Dawynn (talk) 20:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Upmerge into either Division or whatever is the correct current subnational region. Tinucherian, as explained at both WP:STUB and WP:WSS/P, stub categories are not made on the basis of how many stubs are waiting to be created but only on the basis of how many actually exist. If we worked on the basis of how many could be made, then we could have tens of thousands of completely empty stub categories waiting for the creation of articles. If as many articles are made as you claim could be, then any upmerging will only be temporary - as soon as the required number of stubs exist, categories will be split out. Grutness...wha? 22:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My initial impulse was to tag all of these categories with fewer than 40 articles. With that in mind, and seeing that some of these categories have made progress, I'm removing from nomination all of these categories that have at least 40 articles now.

keep. Its for maintenance within WikiProject Gastropods and also per purposes of WikiProject Stub sorting:
- 1. Ensure better categorization of stubs
- 2. Ensure that stubs are sorted as uniformly as possible - categories of families are standard of the wikiproject Gastropods and such names are the best, because other upper categories are usually with long names (so nobody uses them) or taxonomically very unstable.
- 3. Aim to keep categories at moderate sizes - the category will be certainly populated and its upmerging with already overpopulated cat has no practical meaning.

Either populate or upmerge Stub categories are not for maintenance within a WikiProject - that's what talk page banner templates are for. They are for maintenance across the entirety of Wikipedia and maintained as such by an independent maintenance WikiProject. in which case:
- 1. A category of this size provides worse categorisation of stubs - isfor this reason that a standard minimum size for stub categories is in place, as exxplained at WP:STUB
- 2. The standard threshold of 60 stubs ensures that stubs are categorised as uniformly as possible in terms of category size - the current categoiry fails on this score. Templates are often upmerged in those instances where categories would be too small, and for the sake of editing it is the templates which are made uniform in terms of subject matter.
- 3. Aims to keep categories at moderate sizes -i.e., the standard of 60-800 stubs. Anything smaller than that produces far more work than it saves. Given that the parent is overpopulated, some attempt needs to be made to split out those parts which are capable of reaching threshold - but this should be done in the standard way, by the proposing and vetting of splits off the category at WP:WSS/P (as is the case with the two splits of this category currently proposed). This category should be kept only if it can be shown to have enough currently-exissting stubs to reach threshold.
- 4. Maintain stub categories and templates. This is done via WP:WSS, not via any subject-oriented WikiProject, as explained above. Given that this category has not been proposed by WP:WSS, it is appropriat to vet it either here or at WP:WSS/D
- 5. Ensure that any new stub categories and templates are reasonable, usable, and useful. If this category doees not reach the standard thresholdd, it is none of those three things.
Given the apparent size of tthe permcat parent, upmerging seems the most likely alternative and desirable outcome . I note too that Category:Planorbitae sytubs is considerably undersized aand may also need upmerging in the same way. Grutness...wha? 21:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete/rename per suggestion
Been tidying up Category:Algeria geography stubs, and there are ba couple of problems...
- Category:Oran Province geography stubs is seriously undersized, and there's no sign of any more stubs which could populate it. I suggest upmerging it until the numbers are closer to the threshold. (A couple of others are marginally undersized by a handful of stubs, which isn't too bad, but Oran has fewer than 30 stubs)
- Category:Bouira Province geography stubs - the province name is actually Bouïra Province, with diæresis over the i. The category should be renamed Category:Bouïra Province geography stubs accordingly.

Unlike, say, -geo- or -history- stubs, there are unlikely to be any "cross-border" articles, so deletion seems a reasonable option, especially in the cases of Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

Rationalle: The related permcat to this position is Category:Association football forwards. While Category:Association football strikers does exist, it only has 51 articles, not enough to justify even one stub category, let alone 21.

Unproposed, and problematical on many levels:
- heavily underpopulated
- category name uses the long deprecated "-related" schema
- template name makes it seem like a subtype of museum stub, i.e., a stub for museum buildings, rather than items connected with one museum
- used on a number of different types of already well-catered for stubs, mostly UK-archaeology-stubs but also UK-academic-stubs and even a London-road-stub.
Unnecessary, confusing, poorly named, and - if necessary for a WikiProject - better covered by a talk page banner. Delete.
