July 2005 discoveries

{{AM-stub}} and {{FM-stub}}

{{FM-stub}}:

  • Created by User:Radiojon on 20 June
  • Does not have its own category, but points at Category:Station stubs which is being depopulated at the moment.
  • So far only 2 articles are using the template
  • Though there are many many articles that could be labeled with this template, the utility of the label is really questionable.
  • I will convert this to a redirect pointing at {{US-bcast-stub}} and talk with the creator about what to do next.

I've decided to sit tight and see what activity transpires in the use of the template over the next couple of days; if nothing, then that will add significant ammunition to a deletion proposal. Courtland 17:23, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)

Sometime soon well be in a position to simply send them to sfd. (the templates, that is - not the creators of them :) Grutness...wha? 03:15, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

From WP:SFD (deletion of {{station-stub}} & Category:Station stubs, which is now logged, so I'm posting this here):

They're not on the stub types list, but seem useful (haven't reallylooked into the matter, though). Right now, they both use Category:Broadcasting stubs. If we keep them, they each need their own category. -- grm_wnr Esc 1 July 2005 09:12 (UTC)


{{finland-musician-stub}}

Created on July 4th 2005 by User:Easyas12c. Used by 15 articles. This stub type is certainly correctly constructed, but I'm not sure if it is necessary or desirable. It is used by only a handfull of articles and goes against the current breakdown scheme of musician type rather than nationality. --TheParanoidOne 21:20, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

August 2005 discoveries

{{Venezuela-bio-stub}} (listed)

Created by Alex Coiro (talk · contribs) and added to Category:People stubs. Redlink category. Used by no articles. {{WPSS-cat}} on that category page completely ignored, it seems. --TheParanoidOne 10:41, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And there are only 9 biographies in Category:Venezuela-related stubs. Aecis 16:19, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This one has been around for a while now, and currently has about 40 stubs, so I have added it to the stub types list. --TheParanoidOne 23:16, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{Tv-episode-stub}} (on WP:SFD)

Only used in 1 article, but there's certainly more suitable articles. Ought to be named {{Tvepisode-stub}} tho, I think. Also lacks a category. --Mairi 07:22, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{Manitoba-stub}}

Feeds into Category:Canada-related stubs. On 1 article. Could only find 5 more suitable articles in that category; atleast 44 in Category:Canada geography stubs (so a Manitoba-geo-stub might be useful). --Mairi 00:18, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As of August 4 there were 53 Manitoba geo-stubs. Of the unsplit Canadian provinces and territories, saskatchewan would be next in line for a split, followed by Nunavut, with Manitoba third (this excludes those with the maritimes-geo-stub). For full details of all un-split geographical regions, see User:Grutness/Geo-stub tallying. Grutness...wha? 01:07, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Added to SFD. --TheParanoidOne 23:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{SEAsian-history-stub}}}

Created today by an anon user, no category. Probably ought to be deleted. But an {{asia-hist-stub}} might be useful. If so, could redirect instead. --Mairi 03:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Several of the potential candidates for this category might be candidates for the Vietnam War stub category, I'd guess, too. Asia-hist-stub would probably be very useful, with {{India-hist-stub}} and {{Japan-hist-stub}} the two most viable subcategories. Grutness...wha? 23:27, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{Physiology-stub}}

Another one created today. Also lacks a category. No clue what'd be appropriate to do with it. --Mairi 03:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to anatomy-stub? Grutness...wha? 06:49, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Added to SFD. --TheParanoidOne 23:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{Cuba Rev-stub}}

Another Wiki brah creation, "for the pro-Castro Cubans to use". I've changed it to a redirect, as the name isn't particularly POV, but if someone wants to put it on SfD, go right ahead. --Mairi 03:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
