==Proposals, August 2019==

 

===A clarification?===

Hi folks - not a proposal so much as a clarification needed. I see we have two templates: {{tl|NativeAmerican-politician-stub}} and {{tl|NorthAm-native-bio-stub}}... surely one of these should be moved so that the naming is consistent. If so, which way?

===Eurovision song stubs===

There are 500+ articles in {{cl|Eurovision Song Contest stubs}} (granted, I've added a lot in the past few days, but there are probably a lot more not catted here I'd guess). This would likely make up the bulk of the category but it's the kind of thing where the logical next step is upmerges/subcats by country easily.

===Buddhism stubs===

There are 500+ articles at {{cl|Buddhism stubs}}. I haven't checked subcategories, but it is evident that many, if not most, of the articles there would also fall under the stubs that I would like to propose. This sort of split would make categorization much easier and make the project less daunting for other users.

* {{tl|Theravada-stub}}: 41+ articles

:*'''Support''' templates & cats for {{tl|Tibetan-Buddhism-stub}} and {{tl|Buddhist-text-stub}}; support upmerged templates for the rest, for now. '''[[User:Pegship|Her Pegship]]''' ''([[User talk:Pegship|really?]])'' 17:13, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

 

===American Anglican bishop stubs===

There are 600+ articles at {{cl|Anglican bishop stubs}}; I've been sorting them and think I can get to enough American bios from the stragglers, plus probably stuff in the various American religious biography stubs.

===Māori stubs===

There are currently 405 articles at {{cl|Māori stubs}}, and I propose the following split:

* {{tl|Māori-bio-stub}}: manual count 164 articles (excluding mythological people). Not sure how to further split these yet.

::*'''Comment:''' Well, these are all done, and with a lot more articles in each than I initially expected. '''Question:''' I was wondering about the Māori-bio-stubs category, which is {{cl|Māori people stubs}}. It's supposed to contain articles on individual Māori people, but others might mistake it as a category for everything about the [[Māori people]] – including their culture, history, language, subgroups, etc. – which would actually belong in the parent {{cl|Māori stubs}}. Perhaps it might be better to move the bio-stubs category to {{cl|Māori biography stubs}} instead? It'd be less confusing and still consistent with a lot of the subcats in {{cl|New Zealand people stubs}}.

*I've commented on that at the speedy proposal... but if you're trying to figure out how best to split Maori bios when it becomes necessary, there are several large [[iwi]] (tribes) and iwi groups such as [[Ngapuhi]], [[Tainui]], [[Muriwhenua]], and [[Ngai Tahu]] - it might be worth looking at splitting along those lines. Only problem is that many Maori identify with more than one iwi.
