Is there a policy on splitting pages? If so, where? If not, can we work one out? Even if it's just "A PNA notice is required before information from one page can be split off (removed) to create another page." Might save a lot of trouble. --StarFire209 14:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Er... context helps. "It depends on the circumstance" is the big thing. But yes, it should be brought up on a talk page no matter what. Each time. Always. -- Sulfur 16:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
The fact that you and I (now) know that doesn't help the next guy. The Riker early life thing might have been less dramatic if there was a policy people could point to that said "you need a PNA and discussion before you remove more than X-number of lines from this page to create a new page." The Riker article wouldn't have been split in the first place which added some extra heat to the discussion that followed. We still would have the discussion but it would have taken place before the changes were made. Everything might have been exactly the same but maybe not. Just trying to find a way to make this move more smoothly. – StarFire209 17:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
