Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types|list of stub types]]. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page.

I actually think this would be a very much needed template. I would support it. [[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <
:I support it as well but as I say below, we need to be careful of what is included. It might need to be upmerged to {{Cl|Europe stubs}} until we get to 60, I also think that anything that relates to <b>only</b> one of the currently independent states , should be tagged with that state almost regardless of the period it relates. (eg a mayor of [[Prague]] should get a CzechRepublic-politician-stub even if he served when it was the capital of Czechoslovakia).

*I have nothing against former nation stubs. However having looked at the first 10 articles I think 6/7 of them are probably not related to the Empire. If 60 articles can be found, then I think a note on the category to the effect that only articles related to the Empire. [[User:Waacstats|Waacstats]] ([[User talk:Waacstats|talk]]) 20:36, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
**Indeed, the category system fails somewhat here, but still I can see quite a few articles that could use this category. After, AH was a modern European country with over a century of history - I am sure there will be more then 50 stubs for years to come. Here are some subcategories that total about 40 stubs: [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&basecat=+Culture+of+Austria-Hungary&basedeep=2&mode=ss&size=512&stubop=or&links=4&go=Scan&format=html&userlang=en], [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&basecat=History+of+Austria-Hungary&basedeep=2&mode=ss&size=512&stubop=or&links=4&go=Scan&format=html&userlang=en], [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&basecat=Politics+of+Austria-Hungary&basedeep=2&mode=ss&size=512&stubop=or&links=4&go=Scan&format=html&userlang=en]. Further, I can point out one error with current stub categories: [[:Category:Austro-Hungarian people]] is underutilized; I can think of many bios of Polish people from AH partition that were never categorized in it as I (having written dozens of such bios) didn't realize it existed. I could've used such an AH stub on many an article. --<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User_talk:Piotrus|<

Line 355 ⟶ 427:
:If you do a simple seach under model flying you will see that there are infact 3178 articles listed. I doubt that this constitutes "not enough articles" in the overall topic. The NI Aeromodelling page is as valid a stub as these articles and offers the user/reader who may be particularily interested in aeromodelling, aeromodelling in Northern Ireland, or simply the different sports available in the region, the information they require. If the topic is not currently covered then this shows a gap in the encyclopedias coverage of the topic. This surely is the exact purpose of a stub or short article. [[User:Seanscully|Sean Scully]] 7th March 2009 18:13 GMT
::There might be 3178 articles about model flying - and an overall aeromodelling-stub may be a reasonable thing to propose sometime if it seems useful. But let's do a quick guesstimate: 30% of articles are stubs - that cuts 3178 articles down to about 1000 stubs. Maybe 10% of them (likely an overestimate) will be about British aeromodelling in general - 100 stubs. Perhaps 15% of them (almost certainly an overestimate) will be about Northern Ireland aeromodelling - 15 stubs. Even if every single one of them related specifically to the Northern Ireland Association of Aeromodellers (highly unlikely) that would still be only a quarter of the number of stubs needed for a stub category. What's more, not only is there no equivalent permanent category for the NIAA, there isn't even an *article* on it - there was one but it was speedied as A7 and advertising. Overall, I'm also strongly '''oppose'''d to this proposed stub type (BTW, it would be worthwhile you looking at the [[WP:WSS/NG|stub naming conventions]] - the proposed name is not a good one) [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...''[[User_talk:Grutness|<small
::: '''As you say''' there is no article on the NIAA, and there is no article on aeromodelling in Northern Ireland therefore this in itself proves that a gap exists. If we only create articles which are already covered by a multitude of stubs / articles then the likelyhood of covering all topics of interest is nil. Wikipedia is an encycolpedia, it covers a wide range of topics for all its user not just ones of particular interest or interest to you. You have not given any firm reason why you do not want this stub other than you do not feel there is enough interest (A personal opinion). Your mathematics are guess work at its best! The following are diciplines flown in aermodelling with the search results for them
Line 397 ⟶ 469:
Wikipedia provides knowledge and a source of information for many people around the world, thats what the world web is all about. When we start saying NO! to various interest groups from small regions like Northern Ireland, such as the NIAA, the official voice of Areomodelling in the region, then I believe its defeats the overall purpose of the world web. John Pearson Armagh N.I.
:This is all completely irrelevant to whether a stub type should exist. Most of the comments above seem to be thoroughly confused as to what a stub type is and what it is used for. Stub types are used only for the purposes of sorting large numbers of tiny items into categories to make it easier for editors to work on them. Not having a stub type in no way indicates that articles should not exist - you are perfectly entitled to have articles and permanent categories on any subject that is noteworthy enough. But as stated on [[WP:STUB]], stub types are only created when there are sufficient stubs for them. That is, the stub articles come first and stub templates and categories are only made when there are plenty of them. Currently, there is no article on the NIAA, so there is absolutely no need whatsoever for a stub type for it. If the article existed, and if sufficient stubs existed on the NIAA, then it might be considered appropriate. At the moment it is not. This is not a case of "saying NO! to various interest groups from small regions like Northern Ireland" - it is a case of saying no to ''any'' group of no matter what size that does not meet the criteria. If there were only 10 stubs on a potentially enormous subject like, say, football, or American politics, or art, or French history, then they would similarly not have stub types. If you want a stub type on the NIAA, first you should have enough stubs for it to be worthwhile for the purposes of stub sorting. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...''[[User_talk:Grutness|<small
Line 414 ⟶ 486:
We will however take your advice and simply create stubs in the Northern Ireland stubs, then when ample stubs relating to NIAA aeromodelling are created we will again request that a stub type for this be created separately. As such I withdraw at this point in time the request for a a new NIAA stub type.[[User:Seanscully|Sean Scully]] 8th March 2009 23:20 GMT
