Good article criteria 3-b is:
- "it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style)"
Summary Style says:
- "When there is enough text in a given subtopic to merit its own article, that text can be summarized from the present article and a link provided to the more detailed article.... The length of a given Wikipedia article tends to grow as people add information to it. This cannot go on forever: very long articles would cause problems. So we must move information out of articles periodically."
Editors of Roman Catholic Church are refusing efforts to cut any detectable amounts of the largest section -- history-- even though
- 1. a new article was created just to cover this topic-- History of the Roman Catholic Church
- and 2. even with my good faith efforts to reduce this duplicate coverage-- the entire article still exceeded 155 KB when Wikipedia:Article size calls for article not to exceed 30 to 50 KB of readable prose. While it is granted that a notable fraction of current 192 KB is footnotes and such, this 192 KB is still many times the best article size.
This violates Good article criteria 3-b
- Keep. I think that this a bloody ridiculous nomination. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 15:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
