{{Sports Car Racing stub}}, created after the relevant propsals discussion was ignored, has now been redirected to {{Sportscar-autoracing-stub}} (the title agreed upon at proposals). As {{Sports Car Racing stub}} is mal-named, I propose to delete it and replace it with {{Sportscar-autoracing-stub}}. Previous discussions: Proposals, Discoveries.

The result of the discussion was

Procedural close, moving to CFD as part of SFD deprecation. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 05:24, 9 June 2012 (UTC) There are four regional splits under Cat:European sports venue stubs. But there has been a tradition, that once a country fills up, it is taken out of the regional category, and placed under the main European category. The downside is that one of these regional splits (Cat:Western European sports venue stubs‎) has now seen enough countries mature that it is now undersized. I propose that we do away with the regional splits altogether, and just upmerge any remaining countries into the European category.[reply]

Cat:Eastern European sports venue stubs‎ (241 P)
Cat:Northern European sports venue stubs‎ (137 P)
Cat:Southern European sports venue stubs‎ (234 P)
Cat:Western European sports venue stubs‎ (34 P)

This would mean that the main European category would then have around 700 articles. At the very least, I'd at least like to get rid of the Western category, and upmerge the remaining countries from that category into the European parent. Dawynn (talk) 10:40, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Certainly East/North/West, and it then seems silly to leave South seperate. Bulgaria category is already speediable and Slovakia, Ukraine, Finland and Serbia are very close (about 50 stubs each), with those 5 countries taken out of the picture it'd be closer to 400 articles total, about half of them from the Southern Europe. --Qetuth (talk) 00:22, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but consider merging all four to Cat:Small nation European sports venue stubs‎, so as to not overwhelm the parent category, and encourage categorisation by nation wherever not very small. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:12, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found this one. I don't like the name, but not sure what would work best. My first suggestion would be {{PuertoRico-biota-stub}}. But I don't see other biota templates (not even a {{biota-stub}}). I might also suggest a pair of templates ({{PuertoRico-plant-stub}} and {{PuertoRico-animal-stub}}). There are a couple plant stubs (i.e. {{Australia-plant-stub}}), but I don't see any regional animal stubs. Please discuss. Dawynn (talk) 19:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Australia one came about because there are a number of plants unique to Australia. Is the same true for Puerto Rico (and for animals in Puerto Rico too)? Severo^TC 13:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, the biota of Puerto Rico are not especially unique. This template seems to have been applied to any plants or animals that appear in Puerto Rico regardless of whether they are unique to the island. This is a recipe for madness. I recommend delete.

Both of these upmerge to Cat:Theatre (structure) stubs. I don't see a point in having two main templates for the same category. Cat:Theatre stubs has found a viable solution to aviod the variant spellings by using {{theat-stub}}. I propose the same here. Propose keeping both of these templates as redirects, but build {{theat-struct-stub}} as the primary template for this category. Dawynn (talk) 12:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doing a little more digging, it appears that there was a {{Theat-struct-stub}} at one time. But there was desire to have separate templates with the two variant spellings. But the 'theat' abbreviation remains on all other theatre related templates. Revising my proposal -- create two templates:

{{theat-struct-stub}}. Redirect {{theatre-struct-stub}} here.
{{US-theat-struct-stub}}. Redirect {{theater-struct-stub}} here, and move any non-US articles over to {{theat-struct-stub}}.

This way, the US can have theaters, and everyone else can have theatres. Dawynn (talk) 13:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If we have a -theat- stem, then it should be used throughout, but I can live with your revised proposal. Severo^TC 13:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The variant spellings were wanted in the description. As in "This stub article talks about a specific [theatre / theater]". Under the revised proposal, the actual template names can all be 'theat', while still allowing the US template to be about a specific theater. Are there any other nations where theater is preferred over theatre? Dawynn (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

14 articles, making this our smallest category. Tried to find more stubs, but can't. Propose deleting category, upmerging template. Dawynn (talk) 11:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerging to what? I agree that the template has served its purpose, there were once over a hundred G.I. Joe stubs, and most of them have been merged into the lists of characters. But I still think there should be an easy way to separately identify the few stub articles that are left in WikiProject G.I. Joe, so that they can possibly be expanded on and improved. Fortdj33 (talk) 15:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is. The Statistics tables give very easy identification of all articles at every level, based on how articles are tagged in your wikiproject templates. Dawynn (talk) 11:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And here. Upmerge FWIW. Severo^TC 12:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that any stub-class articles in the project can be found one way or another by sorting. But my point is that the {{GIJoe-stub}} template is listed as a more-specific stub tag under several other projects (Animation, Comics, Toys, Fictional Universe, etc.) If the related category is eliminated, what category do you propose it be upmerged to? Because otherwise there is no one category that fits for all of the articles in Cat:G.I. Joe stubs. Fortdj33 (talk) 19:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Templates allow for upmerging to up to 3 different categories. Seeing as how its currently under 4 categories, we would need to eliminate one. I would suggest either eliminating Animation or Comics, and keeping Toys and Fictional Universe. But that can be a discussion point. Dawynn (talk) 21:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with eliminating any category that is no longer needed. But we can't just eliminate a category for a character article like Voltar (G.I. Joe), who appeared in the toyline, comic books and cartoon series, and therefore is also part of the G.I. Joe fictional universe. Right now, Cat:G.I. Joe stubs serves the purpose of including that article in all of the appropriate categories, and I am uncomfortable with arbitrarily sorting those stub articles into one category or another, when some of them truly belong in all four categories, and others do not. If the G.I. Joe category is deleted, I just make to make sure that the articles are recategorized properly. Fortdj33 (talk) 19:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I wasn't aware that there's a minimum population requirement when I created it. My intention is to populate it with the 143 articles from here. Which category are you proposing for deletion? The Slovenian railway station stubs or the Railway stations in Slovenia category?

We manage only the stub categories. This discussion concerns only the Slovenian railway station stubs category. Dawynn (talk) 03:13, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The article Thiara (gastropod) alone has almost 20 species with red links. These articles are waiting to be created. We have a bot at work at present in our project creating in the long run several ten thousand articles. In time, all the stub templates with less than 30 blue links will be filled up. There is no need to delete them now, just to be created again in the near future. JoJan (talk) 09:22, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the category, with no prejudice against recerating when there are 60 stubs tagged with the {{Thiaridae-stub}}. The bot can tag the new articles with the stub tag (which isn't up for deletion), and when there are enough stubs, the category can be recreated. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:51, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unproposed, and the template looks like it would not be accepted. So, this is now up for discussion. Unless there is objection to the category as a whole, I'd suggest at least changing the template to {{TaiKadai-lang-stub}}. Dawynn (talk) 11:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, these two are identically named, with the exception of the capital 'S'. While Wikipedia can handle this just fine, I would think this could easily cause confusion for editors. Propose renaming the second one to {{GloucesterShireAU-geo-stub}}. Dawynn (talk) 02:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose {{GloucesterShire-geo-stub}} was so named to be consistent with other stub templates in the local region such as {{Cessnock-geo-stub}}, {{DungogShire-geo-stub}}, {{GreatLakesCouncil-geo-stub}}, {{HunterRegion-geo-stub}}, {{LakeMacquarie-geo-stub}}, {{Maitland-geo-stub}} and {{MuswellbrookShire-geo-stub}}, none of which include "AU". There is a map of Australia on {{GloucesterShire-geo-stub}} and {{Gloucestershire-geo-stub}} has a map of England to avoid any confusion. Perhaps {{Gloucestershire-geo-stub}} could be renamed to {{GloucestershireUK-geo-stub}}. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:32, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename both per AussieLegend for the UK one, and per Dawynn for the AU one, and delete the remaining redirects (after replacing links) to prevent further confusion. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 09:07, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Honestly, I don't see how adding AU or UK to either template would reduce the confusion that Dawynn thinks could be caused. All stub templates, except {{stub}} tend to be confusing because people don't realise most exist. Without redirects, as proposed by 76.65.128.132, if somebody was to use "Gloucestershire" instead of "GloucestershireUK" how would they resolve their mistake? You could follow the category tree from {{stub}} to find the right template, but is that improving the current situation? I think not. At the moment, if you misspell either word, the differences, and the error, are blindingly obvious.[1] Renaming either template will replace a possible problem with an easy resolution with a likely problem that has a possibly confusing and time consuming resolution. And, of course, we must ask ourselves, has the problem suggested by Dawynn ever actually occurred? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
