: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?

::That's solid thinking, but like I already said above, I think we should institute a policy of creating articles like this one as ''lists'' of locales with a short description of each item, and only creating sub-articles (like [[Cedar Grove]]) ''if and when'' they become too large and detailed for the list. (And, just for the record, I consider more than two paragraphs to be 'too large' in this situation, and that's being generous) If that were the case it would be foolish to leave all of these exisiting, tiny sub-articles lying around hoping they'll be expanded to the point that they're justified, as - depending on the circumstances - that may ''never'' happen (for example, just what else is there to write about [[Portland Beach]] that hasn't already been written? Nothing.). | |||
::That said, it is true that, conceivably, these particular sub-articles we're discussing now could be expanded in the future, but I feel the best and most logical short-term solution in this case is to merge them into this one, otherwise we're back at square one. Anyway, it's not as if it's difficult to re-create the sub-articles as needed. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 12:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
