==Proposals, January 2017==

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

=== 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 *{{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. -->

==Proposals, January 2017==

<!--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 immediately after this line using header level 3-->

===Algebraic geometry stubs===

{{sfp top}}

[[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.

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)

:*'''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)
