At the same time, I think we should make some kind of policy on this issue - to keep related information like this together in one article rather than scattering it all over the place into dozens of stubs that will never be expanded (because there's often little or nothing more to write about the subject), and only giving individual list items their own articles if they're sufficiently large/detailed. I say so because this kind of thing has gotten out of hand, and this article is just one of scores of examples I've seen here. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 09:34, 14 June 2008 (UTC) | At the same time, I think we should make some kind of policy on this issue - to keep related information like this together in one article rather than scattering it all over the place into dozens of stubs that will never be expanded (because there's often little or nothing more to write about the subject), and only giving individual list items their own articles if they're sufficiently large/detailed.

:Hi, Matty. Thanks for your comments. I agree that a great deal of clean-up needs to be done with articles and subject matter such as this. If there is too little information on any given locale, then I agree that it should be subsumed into an article that describes it along with adjoining locales to give an overview, if that is all that is required. However, in many cases, one article covering an entire area subdivided into distinct districts can get cumbersome, and the more information that arises, the larger such an article becomes, and subsequently the more difficult it becomes to navigate. So far, I agree with you: there seems paltry information on any one given topic under this article as it stands. However, that does not mean more information won't arise. | |||
:For instance, I can envision including storyline details relating to the role each of the districts plays in the respective game, [[Weapons|weapon]]/item and [[Vehicles|vehicle]] spawns, hospitals, police stations, etc. The best solution here might be to endeavor to provide a short synopsis of each neighborhood contained within Shoreside Vale (better than that provided), along with an overview of the area and how it relates to the story. Then, each district within Shoreside Vale should have the same information, but more detailed and specific to the locale, along with spawns and other interesting tidbits of interest to gamers. It seems to me that adding the <nowiki>{{expand}}</nowiki> tag might be a better option than deleting articles that might be created yet again later on due to increasing amounts of information. What do you think? '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 12:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
