It would be useful to have stub templates for South America (SouthAm-x), Central America (CentralAm-x), the Caribbean, and Oceania. Chances are, all except the South American one would be upmrged, with a fully-fledged stub with category for South America. The question is, though, what should they be named? My personal preference is for all of them to be X-ethno-group-stubs (and with consideration made for changing the name of the two which don't fit this scheme), but alternative opinions are welcome - as is some indication of potential numbers of stubs.

:'''Support''' {{tl|SouthAm-Native-stub}} and {{cl|Indigenous_peoples_of_South_America_stubs}} to mirror North American native stubbing. I think Central American is covered by Pre-Columbian, Mayan and Aztec. I think Carribean may be fine with just nbaming them Caribeans-stub. I'd opt out of "ethnic group" in America, as America has ethnic stock from all over Europe and Africa and Asia, the native people are disambiguated by using the words Native or indigenous or first nations in America. A Native American Wikiproject exists, so you can probably allow this as within scope of their Wikiproject with just 30-60 articles. I don't know enough on Oceania but it seems you can cover it with naming the ethnicities such as Polynesian. [[User:Goldenrowley|Goldenrowley]] 03:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

:I did a little further research, we have Central America covered with {{tl|Mesoamerica-stub}} and South American with {{tl|pre-columbian-stub}} by its category. However I really like SouthAm-Native-stub for equality with NorthAm-Native-stub and because it allows for the people to have lived past the Pre-columbian time marker.

:'''Addendum''' While this is receiving attention, could I add a rider template/stub for [[Uncontacted peoples]]? While not a geographic distinction, they truly are a special class of indigenous, distinct from incorporated groups. Most are in South America but some are in the West Indies, North America, and Russia.[[User:Yeago|Yeago]] 17:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

*I can't say I'm happy about about using an abbreviation, albeit one that is well determined as long as skiing is being mentioned. How about {{cl|Nordic skiing biography stubs}} / {{tl|Nordic-skiing-bio}} et al. instead of the XC entries? At the least, we could use it as a parent anyway for those who compete in the Nordic combined so as to as avoid double stubbing. Also, shouldn't that be {{tl|skijumping-bio-stub}}? After all, we don't have a {{tl|ski-bio-stub}}. Finally, we ought to consider {{tl|biathlete-stub}} (65 entries) and either {{tl|shootingsport-bio-stub}} (123 entries, not counting the biathletes) or {{tl|shootingsport-stub}} (25 non-bio entries plus the athletes) to serve as a second parent for the biathlete stubs short of {{cl|Firearms stubs}}.

:* I agree that it probably should be skiijumping and not skijump, I also have no problem with using crosscountry as opposed to XC it's just that when you have a nation split the template becomes very large but then that not a big problem. Using nordic skiing instead of XC would not be a good idea because nordic skiing also encompases ski jumping, biathlon, nordic combined but as a parent for these cats I think would be useful

I back a proposal for biathlon but suggest {{tl|biathlon-bio-stub}} in case there are any people who are known for there involvement in biathlon without necessarily being biathletes (coaches, organisers, announcers etc). I also back {{Cl|Sports shooters biography stubs}} but should the template be at {{tl|shootingsports-bio-stub}} (the events are categorised under shooting sports) or {{tl|sportshooting-bio-stub}} (the people involved are categorised under sport shooters).
