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?
So is ContinuityNod.Web Comics. Both could be merged back into their main page.
Bringing up some short subpages on:
- Brain in a Jar
- David Versus Goliath
- Dropped a Bridge on Him
- Fallen Princess
- Gaslighting
- Hammerspace
- I Hate Past Me
- Implied Death Threat
- Other Me Annoys Me
- You Can't Fight Fate
Can these be merged back?
Your receipt. You can keep the freakin' change.Dropped a Bridge on Him definitely needs some merged back. It's got that weird issue where someone decided everything needs to be on subpages and not the main page. Everything except Anime And Manga, Comic Books, Live-Action Films, Literature, Live-Action TV, Video Games, and Western Animation should be merged back.
The subpages for Brain in a Jar, David Versus Goliath, I Hate Past Me, Implied Death Threat, and You Can't Fight Fate all seem fine, maybe a couple borderline ones. The ones I haven't mentioned have some pages that should go back to, but you listed a lot so maybe we can go through them a couple at a time.
Yeah on merging back the two Continuity Nod subpages.
I agree with Duxk except that I'd also merge back DroppedABridgeOnHim.Western Animation. It's only got 13,845 characters post-cleanup.
(EDIT: Make that 13,014 — the The Transformers: The Movie example should have been on the Films — Animation page/tab and was duplicated there already anyway.)
... I think the trope may need a bit of looking at in general, actually. I'm not entirely convinced that it's always being used correctly. One Tom & Jerry example is just Tom dying at the start and then the rest of the episode focusing on his afterlife travails, for instance, which doesn't strike me as a valid example of the trope.

RealMenWearPink/WebOriginal, RealMenWearPink/Music and RealMenWearPink/Webcomics are way too short for their own page.

YamatoNadeshiko.Video Games seems short enough to be moved back to the main page.
Your receipt. You can keep the freakin' change.
~The Tropper The subpage looks fine by me (maybe adding more examples). Also:
- Dropped a Bridge on Him needs a good cleanup, it is another trope having every subpage for every single media.
-
for merging all Fallen Princess subpages.
- Gaslighting.Tabletop Games, Gaslighting.Video Games and Gaslighting.Webcomics are the only short subpages in this trope.
- With the exception of Anime, Video Games and Western Animation, all Hammerspace should be merged back.
- Only IHatePastMe.Western Animation and MAYBE IHatePastMe.Video Games are short to justify their own subpage.
- With the exception of Live-Action TV, all Implied Death Threat subpages look short to me.
- Only OtherMeAnnoysMe.Literature and OtherMeAnnoysMe.Video Games look short to me.
- You Can't Fight Fate subpages look fine by me, they don't need to be merged back.

WhatMeasureIsANonHuman.Animated Films is quite short — should I re-merge it?
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper Wall
That and ![]()
can definitely be merged back to their main pages

Not to double post but I think Person of Interest could use some work as well:
- Team Machinenote : 186,121
- Friends & Alliesnote : 20,719
- Persons of Interest: 89,609
- Law Enforcementnote : 22,697
- Northern Lightsnote : 42,411
- Antagonists: 27,590
- Crime Organizationsnote : 77,072
- HRnote : 45,279
- Crime Organizationsnote : 77,072
Someone split off WTH, Costuming Department? entries from YMMV/Concord to make WTHCostumingDepartment/Concord. It's currently 9.5k characters long, and that's including a bunch of new entires tacked on from before that weren't there. The page was already under scrutiny for excessive complaining — should I just revert this?
Thanks for playing King's Quest V!Okay I did some resorting for Person of Interest, here are the new numbers:
- Team Machinenote : 186,121
- Friends & Alliesnote : 20,719
- Persons of Interest: 89,609
- Law Enforcementnote : 64,699
- Antagonistsnote : 72,599
- Decima Technologies & Samaritannote : 77,072
- HRnote : 45,279

ContinuityNod.Web Original is definitely way too short.
