Eventhough the toolserver database only contains obsolete data, it still has its uses. I suggest the following templates (categories if / when we find 60 articles):

Wiktionary suggests that Luxembourgian is the noun, Luxembourgish is the adjective. Thus bio-stubs relating to Luxembourgians should be in Cat: Luxembourgish people stubs. The politicians permcat is thus incorrectly named and should probably go to CFD. Grutness...wha? 01:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Based on both List of adjectival forms of place names and the style guide I use, the GPO style guide, Luxembourger is the noun, and Luxembourg is the adjective form to be used. Firefox's spell checker doesn't complain about Luxembourgian (or Luxembourger), but it does not like Luxembourgish at all. Luxembourgian appears to refer to the language not the people. My 1962 copy of Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, doesn't give any adjectival forms at all which suggests that the word hasn't been in the English language long enough to obtain a definitive adjective form. Still, given that we have several sources that concur that using Luxembourg people and Luxembourg politicians is correct usage (not necessarily the only correct usage, but at least a correct usage) why don't we go with Category:Luxembourg politician stub?

I'd prefer a name as consistent with the others as possible but if the permcat goes to CFD, a lot of other categories need to go the same way (see subcats of Category:Luxembourgish people, most importantly Category:Luxembourgian people by occupation) Valentinian T / C 13:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Because of this discussion I've done a mass CFD nomination at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_25#Luxembourgian_people suggesting a standardization on Luxembourgian. Caerwine Caer’s whines 19:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been bold and given Lithuania a proper category anyway; I found almost 70 articles. Valentinian T / C 19:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

{{wintersport-bio-stub}} is over 650 articles, 2 sports and three nationalities having there own categories, according to stubsense the following would be possible (remember numbers may be inflated as I haven't done a hand count)

  • I agree that it probably should be skiijumping and not skijump, I also have no problem with using crosscountry as opposed to XC it's just that when you have a nation split the template becomes very large but then that not a big problem. Using nordic skiing instead of XC would not be a good idea because nordic skiing also encompases ski jumping, biathlon, nordic combined but as a parent for these cats I think would be useful

I back a proposal for biathlon but suggest {{biathlon-bio-stub}} in case there are any people who are known for there involvement in biathlon without necessarily being biathletes (coaches, organisers, announcers etc). I also back Category:Sports shooters biography stubs but should the template be at {{shootingsports-bio-stub}} (the events are categorised under shooting sports) or {{sportshooting-bio-stub}} (the people involved are categorised under sport shooters).

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. 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.
