"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?

This anime page in general has been on my watch and honestly, this subpages are overdone.

This all can go to YMMV tab without exceeding 50k, and this is before I clean up all the indentations. How about merging them all?

Am I good to merge this?

Also, DieForOurShip.Stranger Things seems very short?

Still looking for feedback on merging back some of the summary pages back into respective mediums pages, with a particular focus on what has less than 10000 characters.

[down][down] For that last bit, I would assume so. Dealing with this can be possible, and I might even start a sandbox to that effect.

WhatCouldHaveBeen.Hercules — too short, or good enough? Currently on mobile and it seems a bit short to me — but I could see arguments for it being long enough. Thoughts?

[up]WCHB is ~4500 char, the main Trivia page is ~9700. I'd merge, but some like to break off trope-specific when it's a large fraction of the page.

  • Action and SF back to films, to start
  • What even is that "Literature Fiction"? Was that intended as the "Unsorted" Pile?

Should all Ninja subpages be merged with the main page?

[up] Ninja.Tabletop Games and Ninja.Western Animation should be merged back, the other two are long enough to stay.

Unpopular opinion: Western Animation page looks fine by me. The mythology can be merged due to having less examples compared to the rest. Also:

  • The DCU and Marvel should be merged to comic books page indeed.

  • The Web Original subpages needs a cleanup actually to move to their respective subpages/folders (Web Animation, Web Videos, Literature)

[up][up] I think both the Western Animation and Mythology pages are fine. And I agree with StalkerGamer that the Web Original Page needs to be spilt up into the other medium folders/subpages. Same with the DCU and Marvel pages being merged back.

[up]I already merged the Mythology page though.

[up][up]It’s understandable to merge them back together, since they’re all fairly small-sized pages. Maybe add the quotes on Film and Live-Action TV to the Quotes page too, unless they’re already there.


Is TheOtherDarrin.Comic Books too short? Some of the examples are talking about replaced artists using the same artstyle. Others are just lampshades since you can’t exactly replace an illustration. Especially compared to the other Other Darrin sub-pages, it is paltry. Same for TheOtherDarrin.Web Original, but it could be merged with the Web Animation page.

3x[up]BearsAreBadNews.Tabletop Games may be the shortest compared to rest, so I guess we can merge them.


[up] Yup, both are short and easy to merge them back, but as I said before, the examples from Web Original subpage need to be moved to their respective folders/subpages like we did to Our Vampires Are Different subpage

[up]Not enough examples to justify a subpage. Merge back

[up] Fan Works and Live Action TV are definitely too small. Tabletop Games is borderline. The others are big enough imo.
