===Algebraic geometry stubs===

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

=== NEW PROPOSALS ===

[[Algebraic geometry]] is an area of [[mathematics]] that is at the interface of [[algebra]] and [[geometry]]. There are more than 60 stubs in [[:category:algebraic geometry]], without counting stubs in the subcategories, such as [[:category:scheme theory]]. These stubs are marked as {{tl|algebra-stub}}, {{tl|abstract-algebra-stub}} or {{tl|geometry-stub}}, and in most case, it is impossible to decide if the topic belongs more to algebra or more to geometry. Moreover algebraic geometry is a difficult part of mathematics, and many specialists of geometry or of algebra have not the background needed for editing (and even to understand) articles of algebraic geometry.

<!--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 *{{tl|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. -->

This is confusing, and, presently, the specific stub templates are of no help for finding and choosing the articles to expand in the area of algebraic geometry. [[User:D.Lazard|D.Lazard]] ([[User talk:D.Lazard|talk]]) 10:59, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

<!--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.-->

*'''Support'''. As someone who has sometimes spent time on sorting mathematics stubs into subcategories and who has been confused about whether to classify algebraic geometry as algebra or geometry, I agree with this proposal. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 17:51, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

*'''Support'''. Would this be {{tl|algebraic-geometry-stub}}? [[User:Pegship|Her Pegship]] ([[User talk:Pegship|talk]]) 18:12, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

*'''Support'''. A very reasonable proposal. -- [[User:TakuyaMurata|Taku]] ([[User talk:TakuyaMurata|talk]]) 07:53, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

*'''Support'''. Indeed, the attribution of algebraic geometry articles to algebra or geometry is somewhat random and not helpful. [[User:Arcfrk|Arcfrk]] ([[User talk:Arcfrk|talk]]) 21:57, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
