"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?

BlackmailBackfire.Video Games and BlackmailBackfire.Western Animation should be merged back into Blackmail Backfire for being too short.

[up]Definitely they could be merged back. They are paltry, especially compared to the Live-Action TV and Literature sub-pages.


Can ContinuitySnarl.Mamma Mia Here We Go Again be merged back given how short its list of examples is?

Done with the re-merging of the Blackmail Backfire subpages I mentioned.

Deadpan Snarker is one of those dialogue tropes where people just slap down big chunks of quoted text without ever bothering to actually write a descriptive example or discuss what a character is like outside of that one quoted exchange, which artificially bloats both page length and byte count. That's probably going to need some kind of cleanup before or after merging.

On another note, OurAngelsAreDifferent.The Bible is over-short and partly redundant with the information currently in the Mythology and Religion folder on the main page, which has a broader scope in the bargain. It's also inaccurately titled, because the majority of its page space is dedicated to talking about an angelic hierarchy established by later theologians, and which is thus not present in the Bible itself. I'd merge it back, personally.

Series.Squid Game has 2 sub-pages less than 60k bytes, way less than any warning threshold. Should we merge them back or leave them as is?

[up]I would, and I would also pull in the Hypocrite page. (That means that the hypocrite entries also need to go on Hypocrite.Live Action TV, if you do the merge.) Not sure about the Foreshadowing page.

I guess Foreshadowing could stay, it has too many examples from both seasons, and Hypocrite could be merged back for Squid Game.

[up]Tabletop games should be merged back.

[up]Done. What about the other two?

#1040: Jan 12th 2025 at 8:39:29 AM

[up]That's tricky. They don't have a lot of examples and have around 10-12k bytes which is low in my view. If you plan to merge these two too, then I suggest moving the pics to Image Links

[up] If those episodes have the majority of the TJ moments, they should stay as is.

After alphabetizing the examples and crosswicking just one (Neko Atsume) into DontTryThisAtHome.Video Games, I just saw that the example list is still short. Motion to merge back into the main page?

Done with this, but I have a new question: should I also merge AndThatLittleGirlWasMe.Video Games back into the main page because it's still short after I crosswicked The Roottrees are Dead?
