Excessive detail for lead?

How is Linux porting company an "excessive detail for lead"? — Bahaltener (talk) 23:37, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup and merging Development of BioShock Infinite

NO CONSENSUS
Four months later, this discussion still lack participation, with no support for the Development of BioShock Infinite article to be merged into the main BioShock Infinite article as suggested by the nomination. In spite of the promised cleanup and trimming, the readable prose size for both articles are still well over 40kb, with Development of BioShock Infinite measuring 54kb. Referencing WP:SIZE as suggested by Masem, there appears to be no reasonable length for a merge at the time of writing. Haleth (talk) 00:06, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a look at the article as it now stands, this article is around 58KB (nearing 10K words), so I understand why

summary style these would be better served merged. The parent article has a lot of dead weight to cut (the plot section alone runs 1800 words, which even for Infinite's plot is excessive; the gameplay section runs into such minute detail that it can be trimmed, and there's an entire list of accolades now in list form that's mostly repeating prose, so the latter can get cut.) I'll be working on the trims this month, but I wanted another set of opinions on whether to merge (I think the info in the Development article can definitely be trimmed, and some of the stuff, like the minute details on trailers/announcements, etc, probably isn't appropriate either.)

I don't see a problem if we're not at a size problem after a merge. As you say, right now we're past what SIZE recommends for one article if it was a direct merge, but if 25% of the combined articles can be cut, we're probably at a reasonable length. --Masem (t) 00:41, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reappraisal

At this point we're down to just under 50KB here, having integrated and summarized the content from Development of BioShock Infinite. I think it's reasonable to just redirect it at this point. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 17:09, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
