Proposals, March 2019
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
NEW PROPOSALS
Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub
- Propose creating Template:Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub (alternative name: Mexico-politician-Morena-stub) and an accompanying category Category:National Regeneration Movement politician stubs
Despite only being created in 2014, Morena now holds a majority in the LXIV Legislature of the Mexican Congress and carried Andrés Manuel López Obrador to presidential victory last year. Party switching is comparatively common for Mexican politicians, and particularly from the PRD (Category:Party of the Democratic Revolution politician stubs), dozens of individuals will have switched to Morena. The creation of this stub template would immediately allow for the updating of stub types of Category:National Regeneration Movement politicians. Currently, many Morena politicians have PRI, PRD or Citizens' Movement stub templates because articles on them have not been updated, at least 30 from a cursory scan of politicians listed as Morena in the LXIV Legislature that have existing articles (from prior legislatures where a stub was created for every legislature). Party switching has left a significant number of articles on politicians in this realm with outdated stub types reflecting prior party affiliations. In addition, there are more than 200+ potential stubs drawn from new freshman legislators elected under Morena in 2018 that would qualify for this category. It would be immediately useful to get this template and category created now to begin this update task. While I prefer the stub template name with Morena, it might not be the most appropriate to match the other stub names in this area. Raymie (t • c) 06:40, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Ambazonia
Being ignorant of the policy in regards to creating stub templates, I went ahead and created Template:Ambazonia-stub and Category:Ambazonia stubs without consulting anyone. I created it out of concern that the alternative to it - Template:Cameroon-stub - may come off as POV if used in articles related to this separatist state. I don't know exactly how many articles it will be used in - Ambazonia Governing Council, Interim Government of Ambazonia, Sisiku Julius Ayuk Tabe and Samuel Ikome Sako are a few that I can think of - but I expect to write several short articles relating to the subject in the near future. I hope that this proposal will be supported for the sake of preserving a NPOV. Best, Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 02:37, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi there! Thank you for your efforts in good faith. Stub sorting doesn't involve POV, but at the moment the issue is quantity. As the Category:Ambazonia and its sub-cats currently hold only 10 articles, it doesn't seem as though it will reach the usual threshold of 60+ articles to merit a stub category, and indeed I don't think that's anough to merit an upmerged stub template either. Anyone else have thoughts?
- @Pegship: My sole concern was avoiding using the Cameroon-stub template. Not because I have a problem with it myself, but because it is sure to provoke accusations of POV pushing. While I am not sure if we'll hit the threshold you mentioned anytime soon, I am planning to write short articles about ministers, activists, militias and militia leaders, and quite a few will probably be of stub length since there is only limited information available. If the Ambazonia-stub template has to be deleted, I'd appreciate any input in regards to what to replace it with. Cheers! Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 20:25, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- The next administrative level would be Category:Central Africa geography stubs, but I'm still not sure how many articles require an Ambazonia stub of any kind. Does anyone else have input as to the possible re-assignment of Cameroon stub types to Ambazonia types? Her Pegship (speak) 21:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Speedy: French politician categories - S1
Category:French politician stubs is over populated and should be split. Currently, {{France-politician-PCF-stub}} has 65 transclusions, and should be spun off to create a subcategory (like Category:Socialist Party (France) politician stubs). --DannyS712 (talk) 18:13, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
