February 2010
[edit]Category created for {{Africa-cycling-bio-stub}}, {{SouthAfrica-cycling-bio-stub}} and {{Zimbabwe-cycling-bio-stub}}. Only 24 articles in the category, of which just under half have been prodded. SeveroTC 18:54, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think this could be deleted and the articles merged back into the cycling biogrpahy stub category. Waacstats (talk) 13:46, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Please review: Upmerged template already existed ({{LGBT-mag-stub}}), found 60 articles to put under it, found that there was already a category Category:LGBT-related magazines. So, I created the stub category. Dawynn (talk) 13:28, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- Not sure the -related needs to be in there but seem to think that one of the other LGBT cats is the same. Waacstats (talk) 13:47, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- I used related purely to keep with the parent category. Since Category:LGBT-related magazines, then Category:LGBT-related magazine stubs. Dawynn (talk) 13:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Vetting of computer-related stubs
[edit]Found these on the list of existing stubs that are on the "to be vetted" list. Please advise whether acceptable.
- Category:Computer engineering stubs (template: {{Comp-eng-stub}}). This is for computer engineering. The hardware side of building computers. Only 27 articles for now.
- {{Compu-AI-stub}}. This is for artificial intelligence. No category yet. Between this and {{AI-stub}} (redirected here), there appear to be somewhere around 150 articles.
- Category:Mobile computer stubs (template: {{Compu-mobile-stub}}). This is for mobile computing. Not even 50 articles yet, and already has 2 upmerged templates.
- {{PalmOS-stub}}. For Palm OS.
- {{PDA-stub}}. For personal digital assistant.
Biographies
[edit]- {{Canada-compu-bio-stub}}. No category yet. Upmerges to Category:Computer specialist stubs. Only 6 articles.
- Category:European computer specialist stubs (template: {{Europe-compu-bio-stub}}). Subcategory of Category:Computer specialist stubs. 91 articles in the main listing, with an additional 71 under Category:United Kingdom computer specialist stubs.
- {{Internet-bio-stub}}. No category yet. Upmerges to Category:Internet stubs. Only 24 articles.
Companies
[edit]- Category:Computer company stubs (template: {{Compu-company-stub}}). This is for Category:Computer companies. Only 27 articles. Note that Category:Information technology company stubs already exists, and holds over 500 articles.
- Category:United States software company stubs (template: {{US-software-company-stub}}). 49 articles. I don't even see a general category for software company stubs, though.
Software
[edit]- Category:Computer library stubs (template: {{Compu-library-stub}}). This is for computer libraries. 66 articles.
- Category:Computer game stubs (template: {{Computer-game-stub}}). 142 articles. This is for video games released on some kind of computer, as opposed to an arcade machine, or a console. Personally, I'd rather see video games sorted by their genre, rather than by the release system. But enough about me. There are a few upmerged templates here:
- {{Windows-game-stub}}
- {{Macintosh-game-stub}}
- {{MSDOS-game-stub}}
- {{Amiga-game-stub}}
- {{AtariST-game-stub}}
- {{8bitcomputer-game-stub}}
- Category:Simulation software stubs (template: {{Simulation-software-stub}}). Only 28 articles. This is for simulation software. According to what I read there, someone with an interest in the subject should probably review the list in Category:Science software stubs for articles that could also be placed here.
- Category:Computer programming tool stubs (template: {{Programming-software-stub}}). This is for programming tools. 200 articles. There is a separate category for Category:Programming language topic stubs, which houses stubs for actual programming languages. This is more for the IDE's and other programming-related software.
- Category:Free software stubs (template: {{Free-software-stub}}). This is for software published under a free software license. Not to be confused with software that is simply given away for free (freeware). 348 articles here, plus even more in the subcategories.
- Category:Business software stubs (template: {{Business-software-stub}}). This is for business software. 141 articles.
- {{Atari-console-stub}}. No category yet. This is for video games released on Atari consoles. Upmerges to Category:Atari stubs and Category:Video game stubs. 56 articles.

I think we can keep any category with over 50 articles and the upmerged templates, the rest could probably do with some one going through the categories and seeing what can get up close to 60 and deleting what can't. Waacstats (talk) 16:30, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
