=='''Proposals, February 2009'''==

Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

==={{tl|Germany-castle-stub}} + {{Cl|German castle stubs}}===

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.

{{sfp create}}

===NEW PROPOSALS===

<!--Important: If you wish to propose the creation of a stub ARTICLE you've come to the wrong place. If you don't have a username yourself, please go to [[WP:AFC]] for proposing a new article. If you already have a username, you can create the article yourself. If you don't know how, add {{Helpme}} to your user talk page to request help from other editors. This page only deals with stub TEMPLATES and CATEGORIES; we cannot help you with creating articles. -->

<!--PLEASE READ [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Proposals#Proposing_new_stub_types_-_procedure]] BEFORE PROPOSING A STUB TYPE. THE NUMBER OF ARTICLES THAT QUALIFY HAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE RESULT OF YOUR PROPOSAL.-->

<!--Please add any new proposals for new stub templates / categories below here using the header level ===Example===.-->

===Split of {{cl|Vietnam geography stubs}}===

{{sfp create}}

Soon will be around 800 stubs. I would recommend splitting by region of Vietnam in categories. The regions are as follows [[Tay Bac|Northwest]]{{·}} [[Dong Bac|Northeast]]{{·}} [[Red River Delta]]{{·}} [[Bac Trung Bo|North Central Coast]]{{·}} [[Nam Trung Bo|South Central Coast]]{{·}} [[Tay Nguyen|Central Highlands]]{{·}} [[Dong Nam Bo|Southeast]]{{·}} [[Mekong Delta|Mekong River Delta]]

However I reckon it may be worth creating upmerged templates for a every province of Vietnam if we are to consider the situation more long term. Sometime I'll get around to adding the communes of Vietnam which will make this split very reasonable. I propose creating the following templates and upmerging to the new regional splits. So for example CauMau-geo-stub would feed into {{cl|Mekong River Delta geography stubs}}.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]] ^{[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]} 21:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Politics is the root of all problems huh? I'm not sure, perhaps administer both templates or use the perosns place of birth (either current day Serbia or Montenegro) to judge. you could always create templates to make it easier.

==={{cl|Sri Lankan film stubs}}===

{{sfp create}}

my first nomination here. There are about 30 article can fit into this type.--[[User:Chanakal|Chanaka L]] ([[User talk:Chanakal|talk]]) 17:58, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Categories require 60 articles minimum. I would support {{tl|SriLanka-film-stub}} though. [[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <fontspan style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</fontspan>]]</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <fontspan sizestyle="-4"><font-size:x-small; color="Black:black;">White cat</font></font colorspan> ]]} 18:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

:Right then, give us {{tl|SriLanka-film-stub}}. Cheers!--[[User:Chanakal|Chanaka L]] ([[User talk:Chanakal|talk]]) 18:05, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I'm certain the others will have no objection. Perhaps you could stub 30 films and make the category viable? [[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <fontspan style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</fontspan>]]</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <fontspan sizestyle="-4"><font-size:x-small; color="Black:black;">White cat</font></font colorspan> ]]} 18:41, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

If you want to go ahead and create the category if you intend to ensure there are at least 60 asap then I have no objections either. But that would probably require more input from the others so I should wait for that. [[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <fontspan style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</fontspan>]]</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <fontspan sizestyle="-4"><font-size:x-small; color="Black:black;">White cat</font></font colorspan> ]]} 18:47, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

===By-country templates for Euro-archaeology?===

{{cl|European archaeology stubs}} is of moderate size, and a by-country template split looks desirable (a UK-archaeology-stub would easily pass threshold, as well). Problem is, of course, that we're dealing with ancient history in countries notorious for the changes in borders over that time. Personally, I'd favour the usual "current borders" principle, but if there are better ideas, voice 'em. I'd like to at least propose a {{tl|UK-archaeology-stub}} / {{cl|United Kingdom archaeology stubs}}, and suggest debating on the rest.

*I'd definitely support the original proposal. There were 53 such stubs two days ago and the number is increasing daily. If not for my recent health problems I'd have probably proposed this myself by now. Though I can see the reasoning behind Thomas's counterproposal, I think that a basic LGBT bio category makes sense as an initial move to empty out the LGBT stub category. It would also be a reasonable parent type for the existing activist category. The idea of creating a separate template for writers has its merits, though that's perhaps less urgent.

===Split of {{Cl|European Olympic medalist stubs}}===

Propose finishing off the split of this cat with the remaining upmerged templates.

We already have 23 categories and 2 upmerged templates. [[User:Waacstats|Waacstats]] ([[User talk:Waacstats|talk]]) 12:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

How many articles do you think would fit the criteria Bohemian olympic medalist? I support in principle as we tend to be politically correct in such areas. ANy idea how many bios fit the bill?

Ah yes of course, thanks for the note. Actually I think we can get away with them blank though. You see Kayes is only a small town in Congo, it will never get to the stage where we would need stub templates. Kayes in Mali is a region, cercle, commune and town. Also "Geo" district is also a different spelling and is a smaller disrtrict that is also unlikely to have a template created for it. Segou is only a village in TOgo whereas it is a region, cercle, commune and city. The region is probably the size of England at least. If you look on a world map you'll see these names have priority. There shouldn't be any problems without the ML, if in the unlikely event that conflicting tmeplates needed to be made in the future then we can always add an abbreviation after the new ones.
