:::One rule of thumb might be, if all that could ever be said about a given subject with regards to ''Doctor Who'' is just one sentence, it probably isn't worth writing about. Granted, if all you know about a subject can be summed up in one sentence, but there's a good chance other people can add more, that's different. That's the difference between a stub article and one that's completely redundant. By the way, I do believe that in "Byzantium!" the Doctor does meet a group of Christians who are busy trying to collate and translate the various Scriptures, while in "The Plotters," he meets the persons working on the King James translation, so an article on the Bible would have some relevance. An article on guns might mention that despite the development of energy weapons, projectile firing guns such as pistols, rifles, and machine guns were still used well into the far future. Machine guns were used by the last humans at the end of the Universe, for example, and the Daleks resorted to using compressed air rifles when they were grounded on Exxilon. Spears, ... well, not sure about those. Just a few things to keep in mind. --[[User:OncomingStorm|OncomingStorm]] 02:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC) | :::One rule of thumb might be, if all that could ever be said about a given subject with regards to ''Doctor Who'' is just one sentence, it probably isn't worth writing about.

==Archivist's notes== | |||
This discussion never really came to a clear conclusion. The idea of there being an "article too small" for inclusion was roundly defeated, however, at [[Talk:Howling Halls/Archive 1]]. Current policy is that any word may be wikified, and any article may be created, so long as the word is mentioned ''somewhere'' in a source the wiki considers valid. | |||
Therefore, this thread is best thought of as a failed proposal. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''15:11:08 Wed '''01 Jun 2011 </span> |
