I don't think there is sufficient population available for separate {{ UK-radio-staion-stub}} and {{ UK-tv-station-stub}}. An examination of the Category:Station stubs resides at File:Station-stub analysis.xls.
At present I would only recommend the creation of {{
UK-station-stub}} as it is the only one that beats the 100-article threshold. As making new stub types is easier than destroying them, additional stub types according to country can be made as they cross the 100-article threshold.

OK, well what the hell, I might as well not bring up making stub types here any more if they're just going to pop up willy-nilly without discussion (which this one has).

After going through (very slowly compared to the speed I've seen others accomplish) close to 900 stubs in this group, it looks like it would be best to abandon the "station" moniker and go for "broadcast" or "media". The reason I feel this is that the mix of stubs includes a) individual stations, b) broadcast towers, c) station networks, d) companies and e) looser groups of stations. This arrangement would also provide an outlet for some stubs from under the {{ corp-stub}} and {{ org-stub}} templates, and likely some from under the various struct-stub categories ... broadcasting structures seem to be treated in the category system distinctly from building structures; for instance, there's the whole Category:Guyed masts. At present the following could be made: {{ Canada-broadcast-stub}}, {{ UK-broadcast-stub}}, {{ US-broadcast-stub}}, {{ Broadcast-stub}} (to which {{ Station-stub}} could redirect for eventual retirement). Further, I'd suggest {{ Tv-stub}} and {{ Radio-stub}} be placed as children of {{ Broadcast-stub}}. {{ Tvseries-stub}} could eventually be resorbed by {{ Tv-stub}} so that {{ Tv-stub}} and {{ Radio-stub}} would become semantically identical but for the difference in medium, i.e. both containing programs. The eventual hierarchical organization would look like this:
Broadcasting-stub (Broadcasting stubs) <=NEW *R Station-stub (Station stubs) Tv-stub (Television program stubs) *R Tvseries-stub US-tv-stub (United States television programme stubs) <=NEW Buffyverse-stub (Buffyverse stubs) ST-stub (Star Trek stubs) ST-ep-stub (Star Trek episode stubs) Nickelodeon-stub (Nickelodeon stubs) PBS stub (PBS stubs) UK-tv-stub (United Kingdom television programme stubs) <=NEW Doctorwho-stub (Doctor Who stubs) Tv-bio-stub (Television biographical stubs) Soap-char-stub (Soap opera character stubs) <=NEW *R SoapChar Radio-stub (Radio programme stubs) Canada-bcast-stub (Canada broadcasting stubs) <=NEW US-bcast-stub (United States broadcasting stubs) <=NEW UK-bcast-stub (United Kingdom broadcasting stubs) <=NEW BBC-stub (BBC stubs) (also subcat under UKTv-stub) Singapore-bcast-stub (Singapore broadcasting stubs) <=NEW *R Singapore-tv-stub HK-bcast-stub (Hong Kong broadcasting stubs) <=NEW *R Hong-Kong-tv-stub *R HK-tv-stub Website-stub (Website stubs) (would include things like podcasting stations and internet only radio)
This is a lot to digest, but I think it provides an extensible platform that, I hope, doesn't need to be extended much at all.

Courtland 16:29, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)
picking up the thread...
One fundamental that we seem to differ on is the priority of geography over mode of transmission. I think we can have it both ways by taking advantage of double stubbing. In cases where a country is not split out into its own broadcasting sub-stubtype category, I double stub to {{
Broadcasting-stub}} and the country stub, such as {{
Japan-stub}}. In the case of the United States, the number of states with stubtype categories is rising, so we could double stub to {{
US-bcast-stub}} and the state stub, such as {{
Texas-stub}}. Granted, not all states (or in the case of Canada, provinces) have their own stubtype categories.

I'd like to propose a stub for city and town streets: {{ street-stub}}.
Some of these are mistakenly listed under {{ road-stub}}, there abandoned ignominiously to wither among rural roads, highways, and the like. Stubbing them for what they are— streets, not roads—would make them likelier to catch the eye of urbanists and Jane Jacobs types knowledgeable in urban planning and interested in such matters as street life, the street wall, the sidewalk, pedestrian activity, and so on.
Streets in List of carfree places (e.g. those in Venice) are especially likely candidates, as not even a suburbanite could possibly mistake them for "roads."
Typogfk 22:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
What if we went from the other direction, and marked the main routes {{ highway-stub}} (or {{ mway-stub}}, or {{ hiway-stub}}, or {{ route-stub}}), making them the subcategory? Would that work? Grutness... wha? 03:07, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
There are well over 800 stubs in the {{ food-stub}} category. In fact #800 begins with an I. Therefore, I propose the following generalized stubs to help bring this category down to size. Since these are not terribly specific, I am not going to attempt to prove them, unless somebody sees fit to challenge their necessity.
Also, I propose these specific stubs because as I skimmed through the Food Stubs, I couldn't help but notice them.
(best name I could come up with.)
I think that while I was searching for enough articles to justify my more specific proposals I came across enough articles to justify a sauce-stub, sandwiche-stub, chicken-stub and hot-drink-stub. It remains up to somebody else to justify these, because I am sick and tired of looking at that food-stub category. *Kat* 05:16, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

Though I can understand a wish to split this by country, genre would make more sense. Then again, perhaps this is the one instance where a half-and-half split might work.

I've been sorting through articles in Category:People stubs recently, and there are many stubs on directors of film, theatre, etc. Other than grouping them by nationality, there is no appropraite directing stub to distiguish them.

The Writer stubs category page is starting to get fairly bloated.

Categories that include others should not be deleted: there will always be articles we can't fit anywhere precisely

I've just been through this, looking at what was in there - what a mess! I emptied out 16 stubs, which now have {{ animation-stub}} (6); {{ anime-stub}} (3); {{ Disney-stub}} (1); {{ comics-stub}} (3); {{ tvseries-stub}} (2); and {{ ad-stub}} (1). It's now empty, and since it plays havoc with the hierarchy (it slices! It dices!), I suggest getting rid of it. Any objections? Comments? Grutness... wha? 08:35, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
I agree to deleting it. Hiding 13:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The title and concept are common enough that it might be recreated at any time, several times. If you agree with that, then it might be wise to keep it around as a redirect (recalling the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" saying), probably pointing at {{ animation-stub}}. This allows the semantics of the template to be controlled by association. Courtland 01:30, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
This category has no template pointing to it, and no content. It was created on Mar 18 by an anonymous contributor [2]. {{ Edu-stub}} is now pointed at category:University stubs. — Insta ntnood 08:51, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
Actually this section's quite a mess, because school-stub are split into UK, US, and other, and edu-stub is split into Canada, Hong Kong and other. I'm wondering whether we sould merge school and edu, then split it again, all according to location. That would be a huge job, though. Grutness... wha? 12:37, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I found it. It's {{ General-Edu-stub}} that is used for the generic meaning. D'oh! Very silly. We just need a bot to swap these two groups. -- Joy [shallot] 12:59, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I emptied out 16 stubs, which now have {{ animation-stub}} (6); {{ anime-stub}} (3); {{ Disney-stub}} (1); {{ comics-stub}} (3); {{ tvseries-stub}} (2); and {{ ad-stub}} (1). It's now empty, and since it plays havoc with the hierarchy (it slices! It dices!), I suggest getting rid of it. Any objections? Comments? Grutness... wha? 08:35, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
I agree to deleting it. Hiding 13:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The title and concept are common enough that it might be recreated at any time, several times. If you agree with that, then it might be wise to keep it around as a redirect (recalling the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" saying), probably pointing at {{ animation-stub}}. This allows the semantics of the template to be controlled by association. Courtland 01:30, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
This category has no template pointing to it, and no content. It was created on Mar 18 by an anonymous contributor [2]. {{ Edu-stub}} is now pointed at category:University stubs. — Insta ntnood 08:51, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
Actually this section's quite a mess, because school-stub are split into UK, US, and other, and edu-stub is split into Canada, Hong Kong and other. I'm wondering whether we sould merge school and edu, then split it again, all according to location. That would be a huge job, though. Grutness... wha? 12:37, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I found it. It's {{ General-Edu-stub}} that is used for the generic meaning. D'oh! Very silly. We just need a bot to swap these two groups. -- Joy [shallot] 12:59, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
