From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an archive of discussions from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals for the month of February 2007. Please move completed February discussions to this page as they occur, add discussion headers to each proposal showing the result, and leave incomplete discussions on the Proposals page. After February, the remainder of the discussions will be moved to this page, whether stub types have been created or not.

Those who create a stub template/cat should be responsible for moving the discussion here and listing the stub type in the archive summary.

Stub proposers please note: Items tagged as "nocreate" or "no consensus" are welcome for re-proposal if and when circumstances are auspicious.

Romanian geo subcats

These have been multiplying in the food-stub category to help sort it out. I'm in favor of it, but they ought be standardised - food-stub or cusine-stub, not both. Indian & Malaysian (an issue of its own, as the stub is Malay-food-stub) have food; Mexican, Turkish, and Spanish have cuisine. Additionally, a few of these do not seem to have an official proposal. Anyway, I propose standardizing to food stub because it's easier to type. Thus, I am proposing changing the other three and using food for any further splits of this cat.

  • We seem to have acquired a plain {{cuisine-stub}} at some point - early on, too - which is probably the source of the problem. Some rationalisation of cuisine, food and drink needs to be done. Perhaps a better solution would be to keep cuisine-stub and making the food-stub and drink-stub subtypes of it, and to have national-cuisine-stub types as the split by a second dimension (meaning changing the Indian and Malay ones, allowing us to tidy up the Malay/Malaysia(n) problem at the same time - we should try to fix on whether it's country-cuisine-stub or nationality-cuisine-stub, too). These can later, if necessary, have national-food-stub and national-drink-stub subtypes if numbers warrant it. Grutness...wha? 23:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


There are a lot of organisations that are academic societies that are currently being tagged as {{edu-org-stub}}. Academic societies are more usually research organisations, and I would like to separate the education and research orgs. An alternative would be to create {{research-org-stub}}.

Split of {{election-stub}}

Surprised a bit by this, but I found 61 with a hand count at Category:Haiti stubs.--Thomas.macmillan 21:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Doesn't surprise me - there are a lot of stubs relating to Vodun/Voodoo out there. In fact it might be better to split out those rather than make it specifically Haiti, since it might have a slightly wider range (including some West African myth stubsones, too). Grutness...wha? 22:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • So perhaps Vodun-stub would be better? That might work. I noticed several of them were not Haiti specific.--Thomas.macmillan 22:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Support how about either a Vodun myth stub category - or - a Caribbean myth stub category. I was mystified how to categorize the Caribbean myths once before... I settled on African but its an odd mix of African and Caribbean. Goldenrowley 00:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC) ****Back with the article on Caribbean and to correct my errant spelling. Goldenrowley 00:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Support creation of Vodun-stub. A lot of the god/goddess/spirit stub articles also apply to voodoo as practiced in the southern United States, so they are not specifically Caribbean. Jwillbur 21:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
