That is because, according to the cutlist, the subpages are too short to remain as separate pages. I don't think that this is the kind of action that needs to be discussed, as everyone can see that those subpages are too short. A subpage is only needed when including the examples of a certain media makes the article go over the character limit.

There is a thread in LTP dedicated to re-merging too-short subpages.

^ I checked that thread and there was no discussion about subpages for Epic Fail.

~Stalker Gamer it'd be good to always leave edit reasons so these edits don't look suspicious on their own

Sorry, I removed the links to avoid creating the Red Links. I didn't add an edit reason because it wasn't me who removed the subpages, and I thought everyone knew about the subpages getting removed.

How big does a subpage need to be? I looked at some of the folders that used to be subpages and they looked pretty long to me.

Also, ~kuchiki222 hasn't come in yet.

kuchiki acknowledged by PM.

People have different ideas of what's too short. Hence the thread. I'm of the opinion that if the folders can sit on the main page and not give a "too long" warning and without a folder dwarfing all others, then they should be on the main page.
