Proposals, March 2012
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the list of stub types. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page.
Hydrology
- 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.
Propose a hydrology-stub template and category for hydrology. Currently some of these are under geology and others under engineering. There are currently at least 70 stubs under 512 in size, not counting the 19 water-supply-stubs categorized under Hydrology. The water-supply-stubs would presumably be a subcategory. --Bejnar (talk) 01:28, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
- For example Drainage density is currently stub-tagged under geomorphology, and not categorized under hydrology at all. --Bejnar (talk) 01:50, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
- I think that this would be useful: hydrology articles cross forestry, geology, civil engineering, ecology, ... so a particular stub category should help interested Wikipedians find articles that need work within this very interdisciplinary topic. Awickert (talk) 04:22, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Addiction & recovery 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.

This is a stub that seem usefuls to add to the collection:
The current category for Addiction is sparse. There seems to be a great amount of work on Addiction left to be done. - Wikiworld2 (talk) 14:12, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Found and moved from the archived January 2012 page. SeveroTC 07:51, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
- Reject: There are less than 60 articles in the whole Addiction category tree which have less than 1000 bytes, and only a small minority of these actually have anything to do with addiction or recovery - most are only in the addiction tree because Category:Tobacco is part of the tree. There are only 2 or 3 stubs I could find which would use this stub tag, and those would be better off with something like {{Treatment-stub}}. --Qetuth (talk) 10:12, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
American Revolutionary War

The American Revolutionary War task force currently has 386 stubs. Proposing to create the following:
which would be subcategories of Category:United States military history stubs and Category:American Revolutionary War. Wild Wolf (talk) 22:04, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Support,
but not certain about the stub name: Usually we use US in place of American in a stub name, but 'American Revolutionary' is the actual name of the war- never mind, matches format of {{AmericanCivilWar-stub}}. A quick glance through the stub list shows many either do not have a stub tag at all or have one unrelated to the military (such as just a statename-stub), so this definitely seems needed. --Qetuth (talk) 00:00, 24 March 2012 (UTC) - Support - necessary. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:58, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Recently, the Virginia geography stubs were split into unrequested categories, most of which are undersized. I propose a different split, by region, based on this map. There are three categories already built which have been organized to align with the map:
- Category:Northern Virginia geography stubs
- Category:Southwest Virginia geography stubs (covers the Blue Ridge Highlands and Heart of Appalachia regions)
- Category:Shenandoah Valley, Virginia geography stubs
I propose the following additional Parent-only categories:
- Category:Central Virginia geography stubs
- Category:Albemarle County, Virginia geography stubs (179 P)
- Category:Amelia County, Virginia geography stubs (31 P)
- Category:Amherst County, Virginia geography stubs (3 P)
- Category:Appomattox County, Virginia geography stubs (19 P)
- Category:Buckingham County, Virginia geography stubs (52 P)
- Category:Campbell County, Virginia geography stubs (4 P)
- Category:Chesterfield County, Virginia geography stubs (16 P)
- Category:Cumberland County, Virginia geography stubs (25 P)
- Category:Dinwiddie County, Virginia geography stubs (9 P)
- Category:Fluvanna County, Virginia geography stubs (31 P)
- Category:Goochland County, Virginia geography stubs (4 P)

- {{CharlottesvilleVA-geo-stub}}
- {{ColonialHeightsVA-geo-stub}}
- {{HopewellVA-geo-stub}}

- Category:Chesapeake Bay, Virginia geography stubs
- Category:King George County, Virginia geography stubs (52 P)
- Category:Lancaster County, Virginia geography stubs (44 P)
- Category:Middle Peninsula geography stubs (1 C, 166 P)
- I would propose deleting this category and migrating all internals to Chesapeake Bay.
- Category:Northumberland County, Virginia geography stubs (86 P)
- Category:Richmond City, Virginia geography stubs (3 P)
- Category:Richmond County, Virginia geography stubs (95 P)
- Category:Westmoreland County, Virginia geography stubs (60 P)

- {{DanvilleVA-geo-stub}}
- {{EmporiaVA-geo-stub}}
- {{HenryVA-geo-stub}}
- {{MartinsvilleVA-geo-stub}}
Which leaves the Eastern Shore without a separate category. But since it only has two counties, both of which support a separate category, I'm not concerned about a regional category. Dawynn (talk) 18:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
- Support all (y'all). --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

- {{US-bio-writer-stub}} and Category:American Biographer stubs - child of Category:American non-fiction writer stubs, for those who write a {{US-bio-book-stub}}. This should absorb several hundred articles out of both Category:American non-fiction writer stubs and Category:American writer stubs, both of which are oversized.
- {{US-music-journalist-stub}} and Category:American music journalist stubs if 60 found, as a child of both Category:American journalist stubs (oversized) and Category:American music biography stubs
- {{US-novelist-1990s-stub}} - every other decade since 1800 exists, and clearly this will grow.

Category:American Civil War stubs currently has 1,255 stubs, several hundred of which are biographies. Proposing to create the following:
Wild Wolf (talk) 14:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- Agree, but stub name should be {{AmericanCivilWar-bio-stub}} (all bio stubs use -bio-). It can have both Category:American Civil War stubs and Category:United States military personnel stubs as parents. --Qetuth (talk) 00:05, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

- {{PhiladelphiaPA-NRHP-stub}} and Category:Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania Registered Historic Place stubs (had trouble searching, but 533 places on list so should be plenty)
- {{WashingtonPA-NRHP-stub}} and Category:Washington County, Pennsylvania Registered Historic Place stubs (about 80 stubs)
- {{YorkPA-NRHP-stub}} and Category:York County, Pennsylvania Registered Historic Place stubs (about 90 stubs)
