Talk:History of As the World Turns (1956–1960)
There is no reason for this article not to be part of the original "As the World Turns" article. There will probably never be images under this article, and the history of the show is obviously the heart of the original page, rendering that article useless. Juppiter 00:31, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I'm alarmed that you are not talking about this issue, instead petulantly insisting that it should be on the original page. The original As the World Turns page was approaching 32k in space, and to alleviate loading problems, the history was moved to different pages. See the All My Children article for similar spacing. I have since renamed the page to History of As the World Turns (1956-1959) for the sake of uniformity in the soap articles (the AMC articles are named the same way). I vote Keep, as well as to keep any other ATWT history article, or AMC history, or any soap history. Mike H 01:34, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
- Strong keep as a perfectly acceptable way of keeping the size of the main article down to a reasonable length. Mike H. did the right thing. - Lucky 6.9 02:01, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I vote Keep for a clear and obvious reason. When I began to edit the ATWT page, there was a clear sign at the top of the page which said the contents had reached 34K and that something had to be done to ratchet the content down to 32K. If you look at what was done with Saturday Night Live, you will see that putting the history into separate pages preserves the record of past entries as well as frees up room on the main page. Why does this deserve to be deleted? How does doing what the site ASKS us to do grounds for deletion? This is very odd. --JamesB3 02:03, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep - see Wikipedia:Article size for guidance on splitting large pages. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:06, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I would suggest merging the history pages to one History of As the World Turns. Chopped up like this, it is too hard to get an overview. Fredrik | talk 02:07, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I would prefer to keep the information in the article, but the way it's currently named suggests that there's too much to say about As the World Turns, which doesn't seem to be the case. Merge the pages to History of As the World Turns. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 02:11, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
