"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?

I am going to merge the OhCrap.Scooby Doo 2002 page soon. Is ArchEnemy.Ben 10 big enough to justify having its own page?

[up]Yes. [up][up]One example is not enough to justify its own page.

The pages are very short to justify themselves. Seem to exist only because other pages in GameBreaker.Mega Man do, which are much longer than this.

BrokenBase.Harry Potter combines two tropes to make it big enough to support a page. I don't either section are big enough to justify the split.

I think both are big enough, but I don't approve such merge of two tropes

So, would it be okay to separate them into two pages?

How about these? (I only chose those having 9,500 bytes of markup or shorter.)

[up] I'd prefer some more authoritative opinions on this, but isn't Nightmare Fuel a Moments subpage, which means there isn't a lower limit on its length?

Should it still be merged? It feels odd to have a page devoted to just one example, maybe it could be merged with the bigger Mario page instead?

It's a long-established rule, so there's nothing odd about it, and merging it with the franchise page would me examples harder to find.

CurbStompBattle.Theatre is not at all long enough to be warranted its own page, especially given that some of the examples listed are Zero-Context Examples.

Just three examples. 100% merge back to the main page
