"Is this subpage too short?": Re-merging Project

Go To

A recurring question: When is it long enough to split off a subpage?

While answers varynote , we can usually tell when a subpage is not long enough. Bring any candidates here and we can discuss whether or not they were properly split off and agree on whether or not to merge them back.

Here's one to start off discussion: Pun-Based Title.Webcomics. Merge back to Pun-Based Title?

The same can be said for CurbStompBattle.Jokes. Only three examples and less than 1500 character length.

Fridge.You And Me And Her has only two brief examples and one of them is actually Harsher in Hindsight. Can I move the other to the YMMV page under Fridge Logic?

[up] For a sec thought the four mediums are the four philosophies.

They can be merged back, and like many ensemble tropes, the indentation with ZCE are rather messy.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but for some reason part of me is tempted to either give LowTierLetdown.The King Of Fighters another try or do something about the last remaining red link to it.

The following subpages for Four-Philosophy Ensemble:
...I've got some serious concerns about the number of five-bullet lists and the amount of missing or doubled entries in those lists, which strike something that the repair shop's going to have to take a look at someday.

Might want to check out these subpages for Those Two Guys:

They are abandoned since they aren't linked in the main page. They might have been forgotten by the TRS thread that retooled the definition and it shows because they have lots of zces. What to do with them?

[up]Since the trope has been cleaned up, I say we should delete them

Now I'm bringing up some subpages of Faint in Shock with less than 5k characters:

Should I merge all?

Am I the only one who thinks that EnsembleDarkHorse.Harry Potter is a little short to justify being its own page?

[up]It's only 3000 bytes, merge it back

[up]Agreed.

On another note, thoughts about BreathWeapon.Comic Books? It's on the short side (7,000-odd bytes), but my primary concern is that it's been around since 2012 and hasn't really grown much since then.

WhatCouldHaveBeen.TUFF Puppy seems a little on the short side. Is it fine to merge it back with the work's trivia page?

Sorry for making the Potter page prematurely. I based it being big enough on being told that if it had enough text to take up a full screen, even if just barely, it should get its own page, and it looked bigger before some characters got cut.

"Having enough text to take up a full screen" is, or was, the minimum to create a new page, and quite a few people believe pages should not be split unless it's to the point of triggering the blue bar suggesting such. If merely "having enough text to take up a full screen" was enough to require a split, we'd have so many split pages as to hinder navigation.
