[edit]Another unproposed creation - the template looks quite useful, but unless the category can be brought up to threshold it may need to be upmerged into Category:Pakistan stubs and Category:Cuisine stubs Grutness...wha? 03:10, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- Comment You need to wait, because I created this very recently and it will therefore take time to fill up. I am in the process of applying it. As for the usefulness of this stub template, there's no doubt about that. One just needs to have a look at Category:Pakistani cuisine to see how big it is the number of stubs it contains. Thats why I created this in the first place. Mar4d (talk) 09:02, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- The reason it's listed here rather than being taken straight to SFD for upmerging is that I think there's a reasonable chance it could reach the threshold, but the usual procedure is to ensure there are enough stubs first - which is why the proposal process page is there. I've no doubt the template will be useful, even in upmerged form - it's just a question of whether it can get to the 60-stub mark or not. Just because Category:Pakistani cuisine has a lot of articles doesn't necessarily mean that a lot of them are stubs (in fact, most of them seem to be well beyond stub length).

- Okay, after a bit of work I've managed to get it past threshold (not by a lot - there were only around 70 in total, but it's there). In future, please propose new stub templates and categories before making them, though! Grutness...wha? 10:28, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Recent unproposed cration for the previously upmerged template {{Greece-mil-bio-stub}} - a template which has existed for over two years without yet getting close to threshold. Creator handily added the WSS-cat template to the top of his new creation (the one which tells editors not to create new categories without proposing them - sigh). If it cannot be quickly populated it may need re-upmerging. Grutness...wha? 00:52, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Same user as above has also created this new stub type, which may well face the same problems of reaching the 60-stub threshold. Template seems reasonable, but may need upmerging. Grutness...wha? 01:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
