{{sfp top|created as sports-official-bio-stub}}

Pursuant to last month's discussion of the well-meant {{cl|Referees stubs}}, I ran a PetScan and came up with over 500 articles that could be sorted under {{tl|sport-official-stub}} (referees, umpires, etc.). If we can create this broad stub type now, perhaps later it can be diffused into sub-cats, if necessary. (Also, please check that I've formatted template and category correctly!)

*I suggest that this should be linked to [[d:Q27531628]]. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] '''[[Special:Contributions/Fayenatic london|<span style="color:#FF0000;">L</span>]]'''[[User talk:Fayenatic london|ondon]] 08:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
*:For those of us who don't know what wikidata does...what does it do? [[User:Pegship|Her Pegship]] ([[User talk:Pegship|talk]]) 18:17, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
*::Originally it was used to replace the [[H:ILL|interlanguage links]] that linked, say, [[London]] to [[:fr:Londres]]. Now it does a whole lot more, and I fear that our page [[WP:Wikidata]] may be out of date. You may find [[d:Wikidata:Introduction]] to be more useful. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 19:08, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
*I will create {{tl|sports-official-bio-stub}} and upmerge it to {{cl|Sportspeople stubs}} for now. [[User:Pegship|Her Pegship]] ([[User talk:Pegship|talk]]) 19:17, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
*The term 'referee' is used as the standard term for match officials in association football, and also ice hockey (I believe). Why can't this remain and be a more specific sub-stub of the new/proposed 'sports-officials' stub? [[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]][[User talk:GiantSnowman|Snowman]] 07:57, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
** As I posted in two other places, creating the sports official biography stub type is the first step toward sorting out various types of officials and seeing which sub-types will need their own templates. Also, as mentioned above, the referee template is incorrectly formed and created out of process. There is no question as to whether "referee" is an appropriate or commonly-used term, only whether the stub type is viable.

===Settlement Stub===
{{sfp nocreate}}
It seems odd that we don't have a stub for settlements or villages. There are plenty of stubs on small towns that could be sorted into this new stub. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:HenryMP02|HenryMP02]] ([[User talk:HenryMP02#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/HenryMP02|contribs]]) 03:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC)</small>
:Mostly these are covered by the various ''xxx''-geo-stub templates, see sub-categories of {{cl|Geography stubs}}. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 09:14, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
