Proposals, August 2019

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

A clarification?

Hi folks - not a proposal so much as a clarification needed. I see we have two templates: {{NativeAmerican-politician-stub}} and {{NorthAm-native-bio-stub}}... surely one of these should be moved so that the naming is consistent. If so, which way? Grutness...wha? 14:03, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

• I'd retain "NorthAm-native-foo-stub" and move the other one to {{NorthAm-native-politician-stub}}. While "Native American" sounds better to me, it can also describe indigenous peoples all over North, Central and South America. The aforementioned stub templates both link to Category:Indigenous peoples of North America biography stubs: anything to do with North American indigenous peoples should probably specify "North America" in its title. There's also {{NorthAm-native-stub}} and {{NorthAm-native-book-stub}} – but confusingly, also {{IndigenousAustralia-stub}} (although the category name is consistent with the NorthAm one).

Eurovision song stubs

There are 500+ articles in Category: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. Gnomingstuff (talk) 15:34, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Buddhism stubs

There are 500+ articles at Category: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.

• {{Theravada-stub}}: 41+ articles
• {{Mahayana-stub}}: 57+ articles
• {{Tibetan-Buddhism-stub}}: 64+ articles
• {{Buddhist-text-stub}}: 71+ articles
• {{Buddhist-myth-stub}}: 29+ articles. An upmerge between {{Buddhism-stub}} and {{Asia-myth-stub}} would suffice here.

• Support templates & cats for {{Tibetan-Buddhism-stub}} and {{Buddhist-text-stub}}; support upmerged templates for the rest, for now. Her Pegship (really?) 17:13, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

American Anglican bishop stubs

There are 600+ articles at Category: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. Gnomingstuff (talk) 17:19, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

• Support per nom. Her Pegship (really?) 19:00, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Māori stubs

There are currently 405 articles at Category:Māori stubs, and I propose the following split:

• {{Māori-bio-stub}}: manual count 164 articles (excluding mythological people). Not sure how to further split these yet.
• {{Maori-myth-stub}}: presently upmerged, but PetScan shows 84 articles including those without the stub template. Will also respell as "Māori-myth-stub".

Cheers. – Liveste (talk • edits) 15:35, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

• • Support Category:Māori mythology stubs and {{Māori-bio-stub}} / Category:Māori people stubs, with redirects from Maori in each case. Her Pegship (really?) 19:43, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

• 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 Category: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 Category:Māori stubs. Perhaps it might be better to move the bio-stubs category to Category:Māori biography stubs instead? It'd be less confusing and still consistent with a lot of the subcats in Category:New Zealand people stubs. Thoughts? – Liveste (talk • edits) 14:45, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

• 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. Grutness...wha? 14:00, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
• I've listed Category:Māori people stubs at CfD, for renaming to Category:Māori biography stubs. Please feel free to add your thoughts at the CfD entry here. Cheers again. – Liveste (talk • edits) 13:18, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
