created as Template:arch-stub
See Buildings and structures suggestions, above. I propose an Arch-stub for architectural terms and building types and features. Currently there are just over 50 stubs in Category:Buildings and structures stubs that could take this new template. These articles range from the likes of Archivolt (architecture term) to Folly (building type), and Bedroom (building feature). If anyone can think of a better name for it, or description of it, I'd like to hear it! Grutness| hello? 11:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Update: I've created this stub as {{ arch-stub}}. Grutness| hello? 07:47, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
created as Template:band-stub
As a subcategory of Category:Musician stubs. Would it be enough of a distinction to pull out bands into a separate category? (They're not really biographical articles about musicians, so that categorization is somewhat ambiguous.) This could easily have several hundred articles (no, I am not going to list them all here). - Aranel ("Sarah") 03:54, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
created as Template:fantasy-stub
Fantasy genre that is, in parallel to sf-stub. BlankVerse suggested this above (under #Cthulhu) and I think there are definitely more than enough articles to go into it. (I can think of at least a dozen that I've run into off the top of my head.) - Aranel ("Sarah") 01:30, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
created as Template:fashion-stub
for evaluation alongside Fashion
perhaps a proposal then, with the clock running from now:

*
Purse (

*
Push-up bra (ibid.)
Let's not forget the purpose of stubs here; flag articles that could be expanded. How much is there to say about purses, arm warmers, girdles, sneakers or bras? Short article does not equal stub and stubs don't replace categories. Not only do you not have anywhere near a 100 articles to create a new category, it's probably going to be extremely difficult to expand them. -- jag123 21:02, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
created as Template:treatment-stub
As a subcategory of Category:Medicine stubs. There are >800 medicine stubs right now and this could likely attract >100 stubs of that mass. There exists a standard category Category:Medical_treatments which, with its child-categories, would be the target for expanded articles.
Thanks for considering this. Courtland 06:29, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)
FYI: there are already 132 articles in this stub category and about 50-75% of the Medicine stubs still need to be looked at for re-stubbing. Courtland 05:11, 2005 Mar 2 (UTC)
created as Template:geometry-stub
As a subcategory of Category:Math_stubs. There are >500 math stubs right now and this could likely attract >100 stubs of that mass. There exists a standard category Category:Geometry which , with its 28 sub-categories, would be the target for expanded articles.
Thanks for considering this. Courtland 06:56, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)
created as Template:scientist-stub
Special case here. I did no known about this page until after I made the stub so this is more like a notification.
It is a stub for biographical articles about scientists
Rationale: There are currently lot of articles marked stub or science stub that could be classified as Sientists stub. -- LexCorp 01:11, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
many more examples at the category page.
Agree if possible; see my attempt to get rid of generic bio-stubs below. -- YixilTesiphon 01:26, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
created as Template:sex-stub
Is it just my (admittedly warped) imagination, or do there seem to be a lot of "sexual practice" related stubs around? I'm not even sure what you'd call the stub category, since it ranges from Bondage mittens to child prostitution, via Chinese raping chair and Felching. Any thoughts? Name suggestions? Grutness| hello? 01:41, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Other articles found so far (those marked with an asterisk may or may not qualify, depending on definition):
carrying on from the "Um..." thread
As a top level category (child of Category:Stub_categories). There are lots of potential stubs for this category. Courtland 02:13, 2005 Feb 19 (UTC)
created as Template:climate-stub
not discussed before, there are numerous stubby weather articles without labels, or are labeled as sci-stub or geo-stubs
For some of the larger US States, there's enough information to warrant individual stub categories. I'm working on Template:Texas_stub right now (Currently has 18 pages, will be expanding). This will allow those who have lots of knowledge for an individual state (not uncommon) to focus there instead of sifting through oodles of United States stubs. -- YixilTesiphon 02:21, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Addition: I don't think there's a need for 50 state stubs. How many South Dakota stubs are there really going to be? But then again there aren't too many experts on South Dakotan history, as opposed to, for example, Texas history.
changed to Template:physics-stub
This is currently a redirect to the less ambiguous physics-stub. I have changed every page using phys-stub to physcis-stub and will be nominating it for deletion on WP:TFD so people won't use it. Any objections? -- jag123 16:31, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
set by Courtland 01:51, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC) the following all added in the following hours
from Courtland 19:12, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC)
Parliament (cigarette) | Absolut Vodka | Airtel | Astroglide | Big League Chew | Bubble Yum | Carnation (trademark) | Chicken of the Sea | Cracker Jack | Esso | Popsicle | Old Spice | Melmac | Lonsdale (brand) | Lexan | Trix (cereal)
Well, I guess I've come down on the side of the Org-stub being on my 'please keep' list by proposing this one. I've found a number of labor union stubs just in the past few minutes, some that were not previously stubbed. Courtland 04:26, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
