just oversized but the following seems reasonable at over 200 articles.
- {{Merchantship-stub}} - ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Merchant ship stubs
anyone spot anything else. Waacstats (talk) 12:50, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- Support, for starters. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:13, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- Support, because it's pretty tough now to pick out merchant ships from the current list. My guess is that merchant ships have a slightly different community of editors from the naval ships, because the information for merchant ship articles comes from somewhat different sources. Splitting the category would make it more useful for editors with sources on hand for one or the other type.
- Another reason to add this tag is the fact that DANFS doesn't cover the merchant career of a ship that saw naval service. Flagging naval ships that were also used in the merchant marine with a "Merchant Ship Stub" would be a useful way to request improved coverage of their non-military activities.Djembayz (talk) 17:43, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Category: Compliance Software
Hello, after finding 1,496 articles in Wikipedia that came up for "Compliance Software", I would like to propose this stub. Perhaps "Tax" could be a sub-category later on, or compliance by governing body (by nation, by state, etc.). Is this also where to propose copy for the stub?
Spacecraft by country
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was create some.
- Spacecraft stubs is becoming far too large, and I believe further attempts to split it by type will be ineffective as many of the stubs are for spacecraft which would fall into the same categories. Therefore I would like to suggest splitting the category by the nationality of their operators. This initial proposal calls for three categories and associated templates:
- Category:Russian spacecraft stubs and Template:Russia-spacecraft-stub
- Category:Soviet Union spacecraft stubs and Template:USSR-spacecraft-stub
- Category:United States spacecraft stubs and Template:US-spacecraft-stub
These will be subcategories of the existing category.
In addition, upmerged templates would be created for other countries, initially feeding into the existing category. If any of these templates should achieve sixty transclusions, then a category will be proposed under criterion S1. I am undecided as to whether a threshold for creation of such templates should be set, and if so at what level. I would suggest a minimum of somewhere between five and fifteen spacecraft for a template, with my personal preference being ten. An alternative would be to create templates for every country that qualifies with not threshold. If no consensus has been reached on a threshold within the normal lifespan of this proposal, (ie five days), then I will create templates for the highest threshold that is under consideration, whatever that may be. If no comments are made on the level of the threshold then I will set it at ten spacecraft. This table shows the templates which would be created under each of the thresholds:
- *Whilst Europe is not a country there are a number of stubs for ESRO, ESA and EUMETSAT spacecraft which would not fall into any narrower geographical area. If there is opposition to the inclusion of Europe, but not to the rest of the proposal, then I will implement the proposal but omit Europe from it.
If a threshold is set then countries below the threshold will continue to use the existing template. Once the threshold is reached then they will be re-proposed under criterion S2. Templates for countries which do not currently have any stubs will also be proposed under S2 when enough stubs have been created to meet the threshold, or upon the creation of their first stubs if no threshold is set. --GW… 20:37, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
- I like a threshold of 5 for this, not because of how many will be in the sub-categories but by how many will be in the parent. Europe is an obvious inclusion. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Support the above proposal witha threshold of 5, 1 question would a ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:European spacecraft stubs be an idea to upmerge a lot of the templates to, I'm sure it would have over 60 articles or are you trying to keep European space agency craft seperate? Waacstats (talk) 10:37, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- I had proposed the European template to handle instances of pan-European spacecraft: ESA, ESRO, ELDO, EUMETSAT, etc. I was not planning to use it for European countries without templates. If that use is desired then it would be possible, however I would also suggest templates and categories for other continents. Personally, I don't think that it is necessary, and it can always be proposed at a later date if it is needed. --GW… 15:14, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- Support the above proposal witha threshold of 5, 1 question would a ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:European spacecraft stubs be an idea to upmerge a lot of the templates to, I'm sure it would have over 60 articles or are you trying to keep European space agency craft seperate?

* Should be {{PRChina-spacecraft-stub}} and {{ROChina-spacecraft-stub}}. Is it going to covered artificial satellites as well? 112.118.163.206 (talk) 17:34, 24 July 2010 (UTC)banned user commentary struck.
Okay, that's had five days. Since there were no objections I'm creating the categories, and templates with a threshold of five articles. Since the anon was the only person to suggest a different title for the China stub template, and others supported the proposal as it was, and since both "China" and "PRChina" are used by existing stubs, I will use the form included in the original proposal, with a redirect at the alternative title. I would suggest that further discussion be held on the template's talk page to determine the best long-term title. --GW… 22:19, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Don't bother. Use the proposed title. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- For the record I am creating Template:France-spacecraft-stub because although it was not explicitly listed above, its omission was an obvious error (a row for France was included in the table, but I accidentally listed the Japanese template instead of the French one). --GW… 22:54, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm still trying to get a handle on why this category is so large. Based on work I've done to categorize all the articles in the main ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:moths, I'd like to propose a few new splits.
- ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Gelechioidea stubs / {{Gelechioidea-stub}}. Will be parent to 5 existing stub categories, with 142 articles of its own. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Gelechioidea. Article: Gelechioidea.
- Proposing {{Blastobasidae-stub}} as an upmerge template here, with 51 articles (of the 142). Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Blastobasidae. Article: Blastobasidae.
- ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Tineoidea stubs / {{Tineoidea-stub}}. Will be parent to an existing stub category, with 65 articles of its own. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Tineoidea. Article: Tineoidea.
The next few here would be bridging categories. While they would not have the 60 article limit on their own, they will be parent to existing stub categories.
- ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Bombycoidea stubs / {{Bombycoidea-stub}}. Would be parent to two categories, with 40 articles of its own. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Bombycoidea. Article: Bombycoidea.
- ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Noctuoidea stubs / {{Noctuoidea-stub}}. Would be parent to 6 existing family-level stub categories, with 31 articles of its own. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Noctuoidea. Article: Noctuoidea.
- ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Yponomeutoidea stubs / {{Yponomeutoidea-stub}}. Would be parent to one existing category, with 35 articles of its own. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Yponomeutoidea. Article: Yponomeutoidea.
- ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Zygaenoidea stubs / {{Zygaenoidea-stub}}. Would be parent to one existing category, with 42 articles of its own. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Zygaenoidea. Article: Zygaenoidea.
These last several would only be upmerge templates for now:
- {{Callidulidae-stub}}. 18 articles. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Callidulidae. Article: Callidulidae.
- {{Choreutidae-stub}}. 18 articles. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Choreutidae. Article: Choreutidae.
- {{Cossoidea-stub}}. 21 articles. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Cossoidea. Article: Cossoidea.
- {{Gracillarioidea-stub}}. 47 articles. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Gracillarioidea. Article: Gracillarioidea.
- {{Incurvarioidea-stub}}. 48 articles. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Incurvarioidea. Article: Incurvarioidea.
- {{Sesioidea-stub}}. 43 articles. Main category: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Sesioidea. Article: Sesioidea.
By my calculation, this should bring the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:moth stubs down to about 130 or so under the {{moth-stub}} template itself. At that point, I can at least review whether the remaining articles are in the proper main categories. Dawynn (talk) 10:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

, {{Chile-geo-stub}}
