"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?

[up]Don't worry, we can just put the image on the main page, and move current to FriendlyFandoms.Video Games. But I'm not planning to do this (atleast not right now)

Why the anime subpage of Scenery Porn was moved ? The main page was short or something ?

EvilCounterpart.Iron Man only has 11 examples, should it be remerged with EvilCounterpart.Marvel Universe?

[up]Both Marvel and DCU subpages are messy, cuz they're using all of the media examples despite in theory focusing only on the comic book examples.

So, Characters.Lonely Wolf Treat just got split into subpages. I did some calculating, and it seems most of the subpages don't even come up to 10k bytes in size. Lonely Wolf Treat Main Characters is around 61k while Lonely Wolf Trear Rabbits (sic) is around 24k.

I would suggest keeping the two big subpages and moving everything else back to the main page, but what do y'all think?

[up][up]A lot of those examples are duplicated on the appropriate media subpages. Should they be deleted from the DC and Marvel pages to just focus on the comic examples or not?

[up][up][up] Yeah, the split feels unnecessary.

[up][up]Someone's done that and remerged the Iron Man page, the Captain America page now only has 8 examples so I'll remerge that one too.

[up]Only Spider-Man, X-Men and Batman are good enough to have their own subpages.

I have decided to create a subpage involving with memes from Pv Z-franchise as a whole (as seen in Pv Z and Pv ZH's YMMV pages) but I do not know how many for one, but I feel like it warrants one, so may I create it?

I feel like a lot of Referenced by... pages are ridiculously short... some pages have as few as 2-3 examples. For example, ReferencedBy.Over The Hedge and ReferencedBy.The Moomins (there are many more, but I would need to go through them)

Hi, in this cleanup thread for Spiritual Successor, I argued if we could remove the Spiritual Successor/Pibby subpage for that short, because so many of the examples were very nondescript and vague to warrant a page being made. I already added the surviving examples back to the main YMMV page, could we have that page deleted then?

For Referenced by..., how many examples are needed before a work subpage can be made?

The required length for moments and Referenced by... is something that has been a gray area for some time. A wiki talk to hash it out would probably be ideal.

I'd be fine with moving those three back, personally.
