{{Parornix-stub}}. Will include most the articles in main category Category:Parornix. When built, the category will be under parent Category:Gracillariinae stubs. 70+ articles. Based on the other genera I've been building lately, I'd like to speedy this one. Dawynn (talk) 13:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both Category:World War II stubs and Category:Jewish history stubs are moving towards the oversized area (both have over 600 stubs). A specific {{Holocaust-stub}} would, IMO, be a good move, as it would almost certainly be used on enough stubs for a subcategory. As such, I'd like to propose the template, plus Category:Holocaust stubs iff it reaches the 60-stub mark. BTW, I've left a heads-up about this proposal at WP:JH and WP:WWII.

  • Certainly looks viable and would probably be an idea to have an {{Espionage-bio-stub}} as well as I have seen quite a few spies. (Hint for future when using catscan to find stubs set the links to 0 otherwise you can end up with some quite large articles that just have no links deep politics shows up on both lists despite being over 5000 bytes in size.)

{{Cameraria-stub}}. Speedy, as another genus breakout from Category:Gracillarioidea stubs to be placed in Category:Gracillariidae stubs. About 70 articles. Main article: Cameraria (moth). Dawynn (talk) 15:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The family is too large. Category:Gracillariidae stubs, when it finally gets fully loaded, really takes up the majority of Category:Gracillarioidea stubs. And that amounts to well over 1000 articles already. Grouping by subfamily would be possible, but again, the Gracillariinae stubs would take up a sizeable amount, although possibly not an oversized category. Where the genera meet the minimum stub category requirements, its relatively easy to identify and group the species into a specific genus category. And should genera ever pass to a different subfamily, its very easy to move the genus categories around to the new subfamily as needed. For these large genus categories, I don't see an issue with splitting out the larger genera whether all are contained in the family, or whether they get split into separate subfamilies. That all being said, I can vouch for creating the new subfamily categories, as well as the genus categories. Look for an upcoming proposal. Dawynn (talk) 03:41, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
One of the important issues with stubs is to create categories that invite editing, by, for example, putting organism together that are likely to meet a single editor with expertise in the group of organism. The families might be particularly useful subcategories, and they should not be done away with, simply because they are too large; the genera stubs and cats can be put in the families. For example, families are a working group in plants, to split out genera from orders creates categories (plant orders) with subgroups (genera) that have no relation to how the organism is studied, making it difficult for interested editors (botanists specializing in a family) to find stubs to work on. --Kleopatra (talk) 22:36, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's a communication error here. And maybe it's because this process is in the middle of a number of steps. After seeing that the Category:Gracillariidae stubs will adopt the majority of what was in Category:Gracillarioidea stubs, I realized that if we choose to place all the Gracillariidae articles in one big family category, we'll just be moving from one oversized category (superfamily Gracillarioidea) to another (family Gracillariidae). I determined that several of the individual genera are large enough for their own category. As I have requested these, I have indicated that the genera will be placed in the family category (See above -- "to be placed in category:Gracillariidae stubs"). I have not abandoned the family category. But it would be too large for its own category. So, in the process of building the family category, I am also splitting out the larger genera into subcategories under the family category. The family Category:Phyllonorycter stubs is the only one of the associated genus categories that I have requested but not fully filled (started, but have not moved all 300 articles). Feel free to review how these are currently placed. Dawynn (talk) 15:04, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While starting to sort the recent split of Documentary film stubs, I'm noticing quite a few sports documentaries - probably enough for a separate category, and certainly enough for a template.

Having looked at the proposal for splits of state politicians below I noticed we didn't even have a template for Washington DC politicians, I know this is politically different to the States but catscan seems to suggest that a template at least worth while and maybe with a good sort we can get Category:Washington DC politician stubs created at 60+ articles.

I propose the creation of a category/template Category:Ancient Dacia stubs/{{Ancient-Dacia-stub}} under History by era or under Category:European history stubs/{{Euro-hist-stub}}. There are many Dacia articles which are not fitting under the related Category:Romanian history stubs/{{Romania-hist-stub}} or Category:Ancient Thrace stubs/{{Ancient-Thrace-stub}} categories due to location or lack of connection, and would benefit from this stub/category. I am new to this and not sure how to count the amount of articles but as a contributor to Dacia-related pages, I can say I have seen more than 60, most of them poorly written or with limited content. The idea is to have them marked as a Dacia stub and distribute them to interested historians focused on Dacia/Dacology for contribution. I personally plan to work on many of them and know other people interested. Codrinb (talk) 22:08, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A split of this category by the three main islands (St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix) should be viable, and there are enough potential stubs for a separate St. Croix subcat.

These aren't films about music stubs, they're about music!), splitting by subject seems the most logical way. I'd like to propose the following templates, with categories for any which pass 60:

If those figures are accurate, it should lower the parent considerably - probably still too big, but 900's better than 1300. I'd be willing to bet that the numbers in brackets (the catscan counts for possible numbers) are low, as well. I don't believe the 32 value for nature to start with - on a quick glance at the stub cat I'd say there are considerably more than that. Grutness...wha? 04:53, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea where that category namecame from it used to be "music documentary film stubs" or something similar. any way Support the split. Waacstats (talk) 12:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've put it up for renaming... but Waacstats, your memory seems to be slipping! Grutness...wha? 09:27, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support all. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:20, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support all. A ridiculously large and unusable stub category. I might be able to expand some when the stubs templates are done and put on the categories. I'll watch list.
On a side note, I hate the abbreviated stub templates "Poli-documentary-film-stub" because I can never remember them. I would prefer "Political-documentary-film-stub," "History-documentary-film-stub." --Kleopatra (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects from those names would be possible, but all other politics- and history-related stub templates use those abbreviations, so they make sense for the primary names. Grutness...wha? 23:14, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. If it's already established, it would be easier that way. I still like to be able to just guess the stub category. Thanks for the info. --Kleopatra (talk) 23:20, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Would a better solution be breaking them down by decade, as per the French, Japanese, Italian, British, etc film stubs and also the different genres (drama, comedy, horror, etc)? Lugnuts (talk) 10:06, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Possibly in addition, but not instead of. Categories should have utility for readers and editors. Breaking down documentaries by decade does not provide significant utility for either editors or readers in the way that categorizing by genre does. Documentaries on are or history may have broad groups of followers, for example--potential editors in that category. --Kleopatra (talk) 16:23, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • That was pretty much my thought too - and given that there's already one by-genre child it makes sense to continue using this method as the primary split. Grutness...wha? 22:12, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm probably one of the more active editors in documentaries by topic. I just became aware of this discussion and I think it's all great. Except that, from what I can see, "Art" documentary stubs should probably be renamed to "Arts," to match the parent Category:Documentary films about the arts. Art may be understood as visual arts only, and for what you're using it for here, the more inclusive arts would seem to be the way to go. (I do seem to be recall this point being briefly raised at the time the Docs by topic category underwent an expansion, but I can't find the diff).

    • That makes some sense - I'll take the category over to WP:SFD for possible renaming. Grutness...wha? 04:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for a "retroactive speedy" on this one. I did not know the procedure and created the category. There are multiple articles already covered by "Category:College football coaches first appointed in the XXXXs stubs" categories, by decade from 1890 to 2000. Will follow procedure in the future now that I know it (which should be in about 10 years).--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:55, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for speedy on this one. {{CarolineVA-geo-stub}} already exists with 132 articles. There are several similarly named categories under Category:Virginia geography stubs.
