I have tried to sort all of the articles under Karnataka geography stubs, but there are still some small district categories under this Indian state. I'm proposing removing the district categories listed below, and upmerging to the indicated Division level categories:

I've been generous here, not mentioning categories that have at least 40 articles listed. Dawynn (talk) 13:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose : Valid stub categories. There are 100s of places in those categories waiting to be created. Besides these "Division"s is obsolete now -- Tinu Cherian - 14:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  1. If the Divisions are obsolete, then please update Wikipedia to indicate such. This article would be the best place to start.
  2. One thing that may help: Someone with better knowledge of Indian geography should review the categories as they stand. I sorted based on current tags, plus a little inference, but my inference may have been way off. And the current tags may not be accurate, especially for areas now found in the newer districts.

Upmerge into either Division or whatever is the correct current subnational region. Tinucherian, as explained at both WP:STUB and WP:WSS/P, stub categories are not made on the basis of how many stubs are waiting to be created but only on the basis of how many actually exist. If we worked on the basis of how many could be made, then we could have tens of thousands of completely empty stub categories waiting for the creation of articles. If as many articles are made as you claim could be, then any upmerging will only be temporary - as soon as the required number of stubs exist, categories will be split out. Grutness...wha? 22:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My initial impulse was to tag all of these categories with fewer than 40 articles. With that in mind, and seeing that some of these categories have made progress, I'm removing from nomination all of these categories that have at least 40 articles now.

Do something already. It's been over a month since the last comment here. When will this discussion end? What way can I "vote" to make it end soon? The stub templates, already so pointlessly visible in articles, look even uglier with the message advertising this discussion. Kill it soon. Shreevatsa (talk) 18:29, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was split/delete

Split into {{NorthKorea-rail-stub}} and {{SouthKorea-rail-stub}} and delete - the joint permcat for these, Category:Rail transport in Korea, has nothing but the 2 national rail categories for the 2 Koreas. I also propose creating categories for either or both, subject to enough stubs - otherwise, upmerge the templates to the national stub category and Category:Asia rail stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
