Proposals, September 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.
European sports 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.
Propose ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:European sport stubs (corrected spelling per severo) primarily as a container category for the three European sports team stub categories which are currently direct children of {{cl|Europe stubs)), as well as as an upmerge target for any national sports stubs directly upmerging to their national category. (eg {{Monaco-sports-venue-stub}}).
Also, for completeness, {{Europe-sport-stub}} to add articles directly to the category - a quick glance shows there are two sports articles in ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Europe stubs and another two in ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Sports stubs, there are probably others scattered around. --Qetuth (talk) 04:26, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- We have countries at ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Foo sport stubs so I propose the naming of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:European sport stubs. Container category for all European-level sport categories - the team categories, ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:European sportspeople stubs, ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:European football competition stubs, ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:European sports venue stubs and ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Foo sport stubs for each country (perhaps there are others as well). I can see there being a need for the template as well for the small number of stubs. SeveroTC 07:33, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm, it hadn't occured to me to make it a proper parent category for all those, but I like it. Good idea --Qetuth (talk) 14:26, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Split of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Carabinae stubs

The result of the debate was create.
Not very many genera in this subfamily, but several of the few that are here contain a number of species. Propose the following new templates and categories:
- {{Calosoma-stub}} / ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Calosoma stubs - 167
- {{Carabus-stub}} / ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Carabus stubs - Over 800 species. Over 200 already have articles (primarily stubs).
- {{Cychropsis-stub}} - 34
- {{Cychrus-stub}} / ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Cychrus stubs - 127 (Still in the oversized ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Carabidae stubs)

Middle-earth stubs

In sorting the stub-class articles in {{WikiProject Fictional characters}}, I have noticed a lot of Middle-Earth character articles that are stubs. Some of them have been merged into character lists and just need their talk pages updated, but I see a need for one or more stub tags to better classify these articles.
‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Middle-earth does not currently have a category for stubs. Therefore I propose the creation of:
- {{Middle-earth-stub}} or {{ME-stub}}. This would eventually link to ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Middle-earth stubs once populated.
- And since most of the affected articles are fictional characters, there should also be a {{ME-char-stub}} that directs to the same category initially, and maybe linked to ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Middle-earth character stubs once populated. Please let me know which stub names to go with, so that these stub articles can be better classified. Fortdj33 (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- Support with changes. I would approve of a {{MiddleEarth-stub}}, as this is not really intended as a subcategory for an {{earth-stub}}, and {{ME-stub}} would be unclear (wouldn't want to confuse Middle Earth with Maine). I would further suggest initially upmerging to ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Fictional universe stubs. For the characters, I would use {{MiddleEarth-char-stub}}, upmerging to ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Fictional character stubs, with a second upmerge (for the sake of keeping them together) to ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Fictional universe stubs. Dawynn (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
- Done. Thanks for the suggestions in changes of the stub names! So far, I am only through the F's alphabetically in sorting fictional characters articles, so I will wait until 60+ articles are using {{MiddleEarth-char-stub}} before creating ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Middle-earth character stubs.

A bit of a mixed bag of sport stubs to start the month off, templates already exist and are used on 60+ articles
- {{Japan-golf-bio-stub}} - ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Japanese golf biography stubs
- {{SouthKorea-boxing-bio-stub}} - ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:South Korean boxing biography stubs
- {{PRChina-weightlifting-bio-stub}} - ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Chinese weightlifting biography stubs
should tidy a few of the bigger categories up for a bit. Waacstats (talk) 11:05, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
