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

NEW PROPOSALS

NRHP stubs for U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, other territories

There currently exist 206 articles in generic Category:National Register of Historic Places stubs. The vast majority of U.S. NRHP stub articles are in subcategories already existing:

Note that "Puerto Rico" currently has 91 members. There are 350 NRHPs in Puerto Rico, 182 of which have articles so far, and 108 of which are stubs, per wp:NRHPPROGRESS report as of today.

There remain 206 in the remaining, generic "NRHP stubs" category, most of which are from the U.S Virgin Islands, from Guam, from other Pacific territories, etc. Per wp:NRHPPROGRESS, the total of stubs in these areas are 35 + 75 + 25 + 25 + 22 + 5 + 2 + 0 = 189. So perhaps 17 in the generic category should be put into already existing categories. But the other explanation is that there are formerly listed NRHP places, e.g. demolished buildings, which properly have a NRHP-stub and are categorized in the NRHP system, but are not counted in the NRHPPROGRESS report, which covers just current listings.

I propose:

to cover all those on the Atlantic side of the U.S., i.e. in the Caribbean (besides those in Puerto Rico)
but my proposal is to make just one for all of these VI ones together. Note that the number of stubs can grow as new articles are created for the 43 current NRHPs that are currently redlinks and for new NRHP listings in VI.
Note that there do already exist general geography stubs {{SaintCroixVI-geo-stub}}, {{SaintJohnVI-geo-stub}}, {{SaintThomasVI-geo-stub}}, and their articles are categorized into Category:United States Virgin Islands geography stubs with just the St. Croix ones subcategorized into Category:Saint Croix, United States Virgin Islands geography stubs. I think all the NRHP ones, out of these, can be put into just one NRHP-stub subcategory.
to cover all the rest, which are all in U.S. territories and other possessions in the Pacific
I wondered if this could be called "Oceania Registered Historic Place stubs" but definitions of Oceania vary and might not include all of these.
It would be possible to further divide this into:
but my proposal is to make just one for all these Pacific Ocean ones together. Note the number of stubs can grow as new articles are created for the 60 current NRHPs that are currently redlinks and for new NRHP listings in the Pacific, which would include on Wake Island and other places where there are not yet any NRHPs.

Australian rules biography, 1910s birth stubs

Category:Australian rules biography, 1910s birth stubs currently has over 1,000 pages. I propose that it be split by year of birth (1910-1919). Each year has enough pages for a category:

To make the split easier, I also propose that a bot (mine) go through the 1000 pages and update the stub template accordingly. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 06:07, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Music award stubs/Science award stubs

Currently Category:Award stubs is overpopulated; a cursory scan several Polaris Awards, a bunch of Dove Awards, some Grammys/Latin Grammys/Swedish Grammis, various standalone awards. There are also several music awards in Category:Music stubs, and many sorted into Category:Music event stubs. Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:34, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Science awards are also another large, broad category (and even larger if you say the IEEE awards, of which there are dozens, qualify) Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:43, 13 May 2019 (UTC).

Holy cats, support both per nom & overflow! Her Pegship (speak) 16:51, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Splitting Cycling race stubs

Currently, Category:Cycling race stubs, which is populated by 1 template, has 2,426 different stubs in it. Below is a list of specific races where the current category contains 60 or more stubs that are the yearly iterations of the race. Each of these should have its own new template and category:

Together, these would reduce the cycling stubs category to only 1521 pages.

I'd like to further propose that a bot (mine) go through and replace these stub templates, so that editors don't need to manually subcategorize 900 stubs. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:05, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Support split per nom. Also, are there more articles in Category:Cycling stubs that should be moved to these categories? Her Pegship (speak) 16:40, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
@Pegship: I didn't see any, but once this is created (if it is) I'll do some further analysis. I was thinking of a new stub template (but not a separate category) for races with 30-59 iterations that are currently stubs, and classifying those separately will make it easier to see what pages may need to be categorized. Also, since BRFAs usually link to a discussion that agreed that a bot run would be okay, do you also support the bot edits? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 18:19, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712: I support the bot edits in order to populate upmerged templates, per y'all. Her Pegship (speak) 16:13, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
