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?
I also agree it's unnecessary the subpages

I made Sandbox.Genre Motif to start moving examples over.
Did PortmanteauCoupleName.Riverdale and Woobie.Riverdale need to be split off thet doesn't seem that big? Plus the Woobie one mixes tropes to get as big as it is.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadI checked and yeah, they seem very short to justify its own subpage.

While looking through Recap entries, making sure that existing pages aren't misused, I've come across Recap.Magazine, which only has three entries and just as easily can be folded into Recap.Other Media
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (all editions) progress: 426/1089 (39.12%)I vote to move it
Is Henshin Hero subpages worthy to move back to the main page ?
Am I good to merge back the Riverdale pages?
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadThoughts on AdaptationalAttractiveness.Arrowverse? It's like eight people.
move back to franchise or individual work pages. I think the image is good for AdaptationalAttractiveness.Live Action TV.
I say merge it back and move bring the image to the thread for the Live Action TV page.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup thread^Seconded.
That's done
Jerkass.Marvel Cinematic Universe only has two examples.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadThe Mad Love subpages look a little short to me, especially MadLove.Fan Works and MadLove.Western Animation.
^^ Grouping Jerkass Woobie with Woobie on a split just to justify page length is not good. Feel free to merge.
^ The only one I'd really go to bat to split is Anime and Manga, but I would not object to those two in particular being moved back. (Though some people really like the opportunity to sort by fanwork source, it seems.)

I was talking in another forum about how all pages about lgbt sexualization should be merged as only one.
I would say that it applies to every similiar topic, we have like 82929292 tropes dedicated to Human-like Robots, 29292929 decidated to a shitload of "Bad Bitch" tropes, when you could reogarnize that in a bigger page, each subpage and subtrope should be reogarnized in a bigger one of a similiar topic.
That's... not really what this thread is about. If you think we have too many tropes about similar topics that split hairs too finely, feel free to bring it up in Trope Talk.
Many of the Unique Enemy subpages are quite small and contain only a few bullet points. I think the Battalion Wars one could be safely re-merged, as could the Castlevania and Mass Effect ones.
Okay merged back the two Riverdale pages.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadIs RonTheDeathEater.Cobra Kai really big enough to justify having its own page?

Agreed, there is no need for subpages that short to exist — some have only one or two examples, and a lot of entries are ZCEs or talk about generic trends instead of work-specific instances.
