NEW DISCOVERIES

{{Norway-newspaper-stub}} / Category:Norwegian newspaper stubs

Can't find any sign of this being proposed. The template looks fine, but it may be struggling to reach threshold (the parent permcat and its subcats have at most 133 articles, even assuming no double-catting in parent and subtype - and a considerable proportion of them are not stubs), so upmerging may be on the horizon for this one. Grutness...wha? 23:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerged, and in line with other similar by-decade types, so seems keepable on that basis. Doubt this will ever need splitting out with its own category though, given that the earliest organisation of the AFL was only in the late 1850s - there can't be that many stubs on Aussie Rules players from that era.

{{Liliales-stub}} / Category:Liliales stubs

New unproposed stub type for an order of monocot plants, complete with its own category (don't you love it when unproposed categories spring up with the WP:WSS notice saying not to create stub types without proposal already in them? Sort of adding insult to injury, or - in this case - perhaps gilding the lily is a better term). Problem with this one is that Category:Monocot stubs has fewer than 210 unsubcatted stubs, so it's not within a bull's roar of needing a further new split. It also greatly reduces the chances that this type - currently with 25 stubs - will get close to threshold. The template may well be useful in the long run, but it should very likely be upmerged for now. Grutness...wha? 11:39, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{Defensive-lineman-1990s-stub}} / Category:Defensive lineman, 1990s birth stubs

Unproposed, but at least the template seems reasonable. Seems to have been pasted over from the equivalent 1980s template and category... Unfortunately, the new category is a problem, however, since it's clearly not likely to reach threshold in the immediate future (I doubt we have 60 stub articles on teenaged defensive linemen at present). Suggest that for the time being upmerging would probably be the most sensible option. Grutness...wha? 00:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
