It's been mentioned before that our policies have been sprawled over what must be hundreds of associated guidelines, sub-policies, supplements, summaries, and essays that only serve to repeat what has already been said or else further confuse the matter. This is a perpetually increasing problem on Wikipedia, and it's getting to the point it needs to be stopped, or at least cut off from getting any worse.
This page is intended to act as a workshop, a sort of policy project, to reduce the amount of policy, guideline, and essay pages on Wikipedia to condense them into their most useful format. Having multiple pages that all essentially say the same thing only confuses newbies and makes it easier for people to game the system. Here, we'll identify where these duplications or alternate interpretations exist, and will determine how best to condense them into their most usable format. Obviously, this won't work perfectly in all cases, and that will also be a point of discussion. It may be better to have umpteen zillion separate notability guidelines, or on the other hand, it may be better to merge them all to the main page. That's what we're dealing with here.
Suggestions for how to work this out can be posted to the talk page; the format as currently set up was conceived by User:Hersfold, so yell at him if you think it sucks.
