Comment from beyond... there are over 100 pre-1920 comedy film stubs, but most of them are marked with silent-comedy-film-stub. Never really seen the need for the "silent" film-stub types, especially since all pre-1920 films are guaranteed to be silent, but perhaps double-stubbing would save the pre-1920 film category at least.

- Got it up to 63 just by going through the letter C. That "over 100" is likely a gross underestimate. BTW, I notice that these categories don't seem to be marked with the SFD template... Grutness...wha? 04:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cat:American basketball biography, pre-1910 birth stubs has also passed 60. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
