"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?

Does anyone object to reintegrating the subpages for Sixth Ranger Traitor to the main page?

Angrish needs a cleanup, all the subpages are short to have its own.

AnIcePerson.Comic Books is extremely short. It's okay to merge both AnIcePerson.Marvel Universe and AnIcePerson.The DCU to AnIcePerson.Comic Books subpage ?

[up] if we do, we'll need an Image Pickin' thread to choose between the three different images. Which isn't a reason not to do it.

Should Awesome Music pages not be at separate subpages? They are not Main/ and have own icon.

What's generally the minimum number of examples required for a moments page? I'm wondering if I should make one for a work page that I launched recently or if I should just lump them on the YMMV tab. Currently have five example.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

[up] Per What Goes Where on the Wiki Moments require 1 example. They are specifically shouldn't be on YMMV pages but it's not strongly enforced.

I want to know if the following situation is a reason to form a trope subpage for a single work.

I'm following Modern Villainess, and this being a business thriller that largely parallels events in the 1990s and the 2000s Japan, there're many examples of Fictional Counterpart. Right now, the trope entry on the work page has 15 examples and 4,007 bytes, which is definitively not that long, but if crosswicked to the trope page it'll be the work with the most examples. Should those be in its own subpage, or just in the Literature folder of the trope page? I guess it's the latter, but please confirm.

Fridge.The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones only has one entry, which essentially repeats the Chuck Cunningham Syndrome section of the movie's main page.

[up][up]This one's borderline. Don't think it's quite long enough to disrupt the flow of either page, but I'd the examples expand much more there's a pretty good case for splitting.

[up]Not trying to ignore you, but I know some page types aren't liable to be cut simply for being short and I don't know if Fridge is among them.

NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.Comic Books is short compared to other subpages. Is it okay to merge with NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.Marvel Universe and NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.The DCU to make it longer ?

Spotted while adding the new NREP note to the subpages -

FandomSpecificPlot.Tokyo Ghoul - only three examples.

FandomSpecificPlot.Hellsing - nine examples, so still borderline?

Flashback.Anime And Manga is only 4 screens tall? Is that enough for a subpage? Although, the folders of Flashback are only ~2 screens tall at most.

[up],[up][up] Yes to both, they're much too short. The Troubled Production one has only three distinct work entries.

Thoughts on FateWorseThanDeath.The DCU and FateWorseThanDeath.Marvel Universe?

Genre Motif is split into 14 subpages, one per genre, but only a few of them have more than 5 examples. I believe that all of them could easily be combined into one page, simply sorted by medium rather than having one folder per genre (as some works may have multiple different genre motifs).
