Oversized, looks like this one has already been started so propose we continue with pattern of splitting by district templates upmerged to former regions.

split by there regional categories should be enough. Waacstats (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

  • Support --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Most people have never heard of Lower Saxony's districts and this just adds confusion. The proposal should not be carried out unless it has been discussed and agreed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany. The number of stubs is not excessive and quite a few are no longer stubs anyway. I have already removed around thirty by expanding them or deleting them where appropriate and will continue to assist in driving nos. down further. --Bermicourt (talk) 06:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment. Not sure there's much point in discussing this further - the stubs have been created and are steadily being added to articles anyway. --Bermicourt (talk) 13:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Overisized propose we split by Kantons and Regions possibly upmerged to a Federation of Bosnia and herzegovina and Republic Sprska geo cats.

I suggest you create stub templates for municipalities with 60+ villages in them. The others can use Cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina templates. OK?Starzynka (talk) 21:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Propose:

Federation

Republika

Seperate municipality templates for 60+

and any other seperate municipality template for those with 60+:


Starzynka (talk) 21:50, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

The various Hylidae articles were already very well sorted by genus in main categories. Gathering these into subfamily categories allows for some splits amongst the stub categories.

That should go far toward breaking down what had become an overlarge category. Dawynn (talk) 16:15, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

The organization of association football biography stubs loses some value of the categorization process IMO. One clear opportunity for improvement is in the categorization of women's football articles. For example, Category:German football biography stubs includes Claudia Müller and Isabell Bachor. The only existing subcategories in which to classify those players would be their position on the field. However, a German women's football enthusiast might wish to assist in expanding stubs for women's footballers, regardless of position.

I didn't go to the effort to quantify the number of articles for such categories, but hopefully it's self-evident that "lots" of stubs would qualify. Regards, PhilipR (talk) 16:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

  • I'm not generally to keen on splitting stub categories by sex but I think this is one of the few areas where there is a massive disparity between the followers of the mens and womens sides. I think that for starters it may be best just to have 1 category as a subcat of Category:Association football biography stubs fed by a generic template {{Women-footy-bio-stub}}? and a few national templates for the larger nations in womens football (Germany, US, China, Norway, Sweden, Brazil) and see how many we have got. I also think it would be an idea to keep them in there current categories where these are more descriptive than the womens category (i.e keeping someone in norwegian midfielder stub cat stays there and goes into the womens cat.)Waacstats (talk) 12:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Support what Waacstats suggests - I suspect there are enough American women alone to warrant a separate category. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm glad someone understood what I was rambling on about. Waacstats (talk) 15:48, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
