Category:Asian Para Games stubs / {{Asian-para-games-stub}}

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion 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 discussion was rename template. Note that category is still below threshold; if it remains so, it may be re-nominated for upmerging

Unproposed creation of this and its associated template. Well-formed, but the entire tree of Category:Asian Para Games has fewer than 30 articles, so there's no way this has 60 currently existing stubs. Upmerge into Category:Sports event stubs until there are sufficient stubs for this to reach the threshold. Grutness...wha? 01:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The topic Asian Para Games just got a dedicated task force (Asian Games task force), under which I'm trying to make new articles. I am busy at the moment with the some other stuff of task force, but from tomorrow would happily make articles for Para Games, and there would definitely have been more than 30/50 stub articles (criteria says 30 if there is a specific associated WikiProject). So I request three more days for my work. — Bill william comptonTalk 01:44, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you've got a task force, then you should be looking at an assessment template, not a stub template. Stub categores are not connected with individual subject projects or task-forces; they're run for editors across the entirety of Wikipedia. Read WP:Stub#Stub types, WikiProjects, and Assessment templates. And a task force is not a separate WikiProject, so the threshold would still be 60 (the specific WikiProject already has its specific template - multi-sport-stub). In any case, stub categories are only created when there are sufficient existing stubs to warrant them. Normal procedure would have been to make the stubs first and then proposed a template and category at WP:WSS, or - as I said - used an assessment template, which is far more flexible to an individual task-fore's needs. Grutness...wha? 05:11, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've also just realised that the template is at the wrong name. There is no such thing as the "Asian para games", they're the Asian Para Games - so the template should be at {{Asian-Para-Games-stub}} -simple renaming required (no objection to keeping the current name as a redirect). Grutness...wha? 00:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I admit it was a mistake, I should have made stubs first. But now this category is worthy to keep, as it includes 44 articles, and within two more days it certainly would have crossed mark of 60. And yes I support the renaming of template. — Bill william comptonTalk 03:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The usual principle with this page is that if a stub type can get to threshold before it becomes old business then - unless there are other major problems with it - there's a very good chance it'll be saved. In this case the major problem was the lack of files - if there's no lack of files, then - unless someone else points out other major problems - I don't see any problem with it. But it's got to get there! Grutness...wha? 01:09, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming -just for the moment - that we were sometime soon going to start splitting politicians by individual city. Where would be the first place to start. New York City, perhaps, or Paris, or London. I doubt whether Montclair, New Jersey would enter many people's minds. Given that we don't split politicians by individual city anyway, this becomes doubly odd. In any case, both articles that this was on were already correctly tagged with {{NewJersey-politician-stub}}.

I know some of the stubs here have been around a long time, but... it isn't the stubs that are Pre-Columbian. The key article is at Pre-Columbian era. Linked to a similar rename proposal for the permcat, so we probably need to follow whatever the decision is there. Grutness...wha? 14:27, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems an unnecessary split, and counter to the way Hinduism stubs is currently being split. Another deletion candidate unless any justification can be shown as to why this is a reasonable split, unlikely given that there's no equivalent permcat. At the very least, some tidying is definitely required, especially of the category. Grutness...wha? 23:57, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It may not be at all unnecessary. Hindu is not just about adhering to Hinduism. There is a social, cultural and ethnic element to it. The Bengali Hindu people have unique things about them - no less than 36 castes, innumerable sects and historic events, which are not shared by other Hindus. The same is true for other Hindu ethno-linguistic groups - the Punjabi Hindus, the Tamil Hindus and so on. In my view, they need similar sub-grouping. BengaliHindu (talk) 17:18, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It still seems an unusual split, given the usual way that religious, social and ethnic stubs in general are split. Consider the other sub-categories of Hinduism stubs relate directly to philosophy, mythology, theology, biography, and holy places. More importantly, as a topic area it does not have a permanent category, something which should always come before a stub split, and certainly there's no indication that there are enough stubs to meet the requirement for a separate stub category. Grutness...wha? 23:32, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The above is older, pre-relist discussion. Please make any further comments below.
Delete based on the fact that the normal way to split religion is not by ethnic groups. Waacstats (talk) 11:53, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit the new names sound a bit strange, but strip them of their trappings, and it's a simple "Members stubs or Member stubs" question, and Member would be correct, since it's the stubs that are plural, individual articles are not about more than one person.

I see that someone updated the text for the {{Luxembourg-sculptor-stub}} template to read Luxembourgish instead of Luxembourgian. A review of the Luxembourg article indicates no use of Luxembourgian, but Luxembourgish is used both for the language, and for adjectives. Propose the following category name changes:

Dawynn (talk) 12:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Luxembourgish can refer both to the country and to the language; Luxembourgian can only refer to the country, which is what is intended here.[1] I don't see why we should move from precise language to ambiguous language. If anything, then we should move, for all such categories, to the scheme "Stubs of building and structures in Luxembourg", "Stubs of people in Luxembourg", etc. After all, the assumption that for every country there is a corresponding adjective is incorrect, and when there is one it sometimes has problems which the country name itself does not have (other examples being American for the US or Nigerian for both Niger and Nigeria).

Unproposed, spacey template, linked straight to a permcat. A permcat with ONE (count 'em!) article. Created, by the looks of it, not for a WikiProject overall, but for a taskforce of a WikiProject.

The result of the discussion was rename - keep current names as redirects

This one's a little unorthodox, since GAA is a dab page, but I think it's probably widely-enough known that a GAA club is a Gaelic games club. All of the subtypes for clubs by region use Foo-GAA-club-stub, so it would make sense to change thsat one at least, and since the categories are "Gaelic Athletic Association" rather than "Gaelic games". Changing the other to follow suit also makes sense, given that it simply means reversing an existing redirect (keeping the current names as redirects). Grutness...wha? 02:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support As Grutness says this is a little strange. AN other reason for it being strange is that Gaelic Games pre-dates the Gaelic Athletic Association and things in theory could be Gaelic Games but not GAA which was the original reason for choosing Gaelic-games rather than GAA however in the 5 years this stub template has existed I've yet to see a case where this distinction is important Gnevin (talk) 13:30, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose rename to Category:Western Australia rail stubs. Western Australia is the name of an Australian state, not a region. So, this is not like saying West African.

The result of the discussion was Rename and upmerge. Ruslik_Zero 18:43, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unproposed, and badly named template. If needed, then it should be at {{CentralAm-history-stub}}. But it's questionable whether it is needed or whether separate country templates might be better. At the very least a rename (with deletion of the current name) is necessary, and very likely also an upmerge of the category. Grutness...wha? 02:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename -- I just created this stub because I was working on a Central American history stub, and noticed that {{SouthAm-hist-stub}}, {{SEAsia-hist-stub}}, etc. exist already, and felt that there should be one for Central American history articles as well (Sorry for not proposing it -- I didn't realize I was supposed to, and will do so in the future). I'm open to renaming it however you like, but don't think that it should be deleted unless you are going to remove all of the other "region"-hist-stubs as well (which I wouldn't be opposed to -- I just want it to be consistent). Thanks. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 03:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point, though the other ones you name are old ones - in the last couple of years WP:WSS has been slowly replacing all regional types where possible with nation-specific ones (both of these have been around since about 2005-06, which is why they also still have the deprecated -hist- style). After a bit of thought I'd agree that it makes some sense to have a single CentralAm stub, given the intertwined histories of the countries in the region - but also be aware we already have specific stubs for some specific periods of Central American history (e.g., the somewhat overlapping {{Pre-columbian-stub}} and {{Mesoamerica-stub}} - more about one of which below...). As for the category, upmerging is probably still the best measure for the time being, since the number of stubs that use (and currently could use) the stub is fairly low. Upmerging would in no way prejudice against re-creating the category (after proposal) once it reaches the standard threshold for a category split (60 stubbed articles). Grutness...wha? 06:36, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with upmerging, or whatever else you decide to do. I'm really not familiar with stub-sorting practice here, and just kind of created the stub off-hand, based on the South-Am version. Do whatever you think is best. Thanks. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 17:06, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{Pre-columbian-stub}}

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion 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 discussion was rename, redirects kept

This template is currently at the above name, with a redirect at {{Pre-Columbian-stub}}. Understandably (since it's named after a person), the key article is at Pre-Columbian, not Pre-columbian, so the template and redirect should really be reversed. Standard stub naming suggests a further title, however - {{PreColumbian-stub}}, as this isn't a subtype of Columbian-stub. I'd like to propose that the template is moved to the latter name, with both the other names remaining as redirects. Grutness...wha? 06:36, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unproposed, and the chances of finding the required 60 stubs are minimal, to say the least. As to the template name, well there are times when words fail me - certainly not a subtype of some non-existent "Street-stub", as the hyphens suggest. No permcat either - the nearest would suggest that in the highly unlikely event of this being needed, {{WilliamsStreetStudios-stub}} and Category:Williams Street Studios stubs would be the correct names. Delete. Grutness...wha? 02:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support, per my comments at WP:WSS/P, though if this is consistent, it's perhaps less vital. It just seems an odd standard compared to other countries see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Proposals/2011/June#Category:New_Zealand_politician_stubs). Grutness...wha? 01:39, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was upmerge (or, given there are no templates, move articles to other stub categories)

Unapproved, no template, with little hope of reaching viable size. Please delete the following categories, tagging all articles with approved stub tags:

Dawynn (talk) 13:13, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As creator of these categories, I agree that they are still premature, but I have plan to complete these categories in a Month. I just made those for in first step to sorting Iranian writing articles that spread through the Wikipedia. Unfortunately most of Iranians I see in Wikipedia are sensitive in political articles but no one help me in literature parts. Now, what would I do after this nomination for deletion? Is it possible to stop deletion?P. Pajouhesh (talk) 16:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
First, stop the way you are loading these stub categories. Please go to the proposal page and propose new templates for the areas you want to work on. Stub articles are not added directly to categories, but tagged with templates. With templates, you can freely tag articles without frustrating team members about the size of your categories. For now the templates could be upmerged to Category:Iranian people stubs. Once the templates have at least 60 articles, they can be moved into separate categories. Dawynn (talk) 18:43, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now, shouldn't really have cats flying around without templates. Waacstats (talk) 23:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Stub cats being used without templates is a no-no. No reason not to have proposals for the templates, though, although "critics" is very very ambiguous (theatre critics? critics of the political regime? what?) Grutness...wha? 01:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's also worth noting that two of the categories are misnamed (plurals), and a significant proportion of the articles in these categories aren't stubs... Grutness...wha? 01:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete

Unproposed new category and template. No explanation given for the unusual template naming (which BCN is being suggested? None of these seem to fit), no indication that this will reach the size threshold (in fact, the new category is a subcategory of another unproposed category (see below) which does not reach threshold!). And, what's more, there's no indication yet that any Mexican citiesrequire their own stub types, or that splitting in this way is the best way of splitting them out. Delete.

The result of the discussion was upmerge, with no prejudice against later creation if it reaches the threshold level

Unproposed split from Mexico geography stubs, despite only having some 35 stubs. Reupmerge unless sufficient stubs can be found for it, as per debate when the template was created in 2008. BTW, both this and the above stub type were created by an editor who has already been warned twice against making stub types out of processin the last few weeks (s/he also created both {{Tijuana-stub}} and {{Las Vegas-stub}} below). Grutness...wha? 02:47, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Comment - A lot of other Mexican states have categories exactly like this. I don't understand why it is any different. Please see Category:Mexico geography stubs. 08OceanBeachS.D. 04:18, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's different because it hasn't reached the 60-stub threshold, as explained above, which all the others have. Please see WP:STUB. All the others met that threshold and were proposed as viable splits - the smallest of the other categories has 65 stubs. This is also why so many other Mexican state geo-stub templates (e.g., {{Aguascalientes-geo-stub}}, {{QuintanaRoo-geo-stub}}), are still upmerged. Grutness...wha? 00:50, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge till sufficient stubs exists. Waacstats (talk) 10:45, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
