Almost never should it be on a subpage. Often, what seems like a "minor part" of something can also be seen as a "minor part" of something else entirely. I don't know where I'd draw the line, really, but see [1], [2], and [3] for why I don't like subpages generally. In these particular cases, I would say that it seems wholly arbitrary that the topics should be made subtopics of film editing in particular, rather than a half-dozen other things they might be made subtopics of. The poker articles are all as it were parts of one pretty much self-contained article about the game of poker--and not about anything else. (For example, Lee hasn't made "how to win at gambling with cards" a subpage of poker--which wouldn't be right, because that topic isn't limited just to poker, and indeed, making it a subpage of "playing cards" wouldn't be obvious because it could also be a subpage of "gambling" or "game"...for more ranting along these lines, see my essays.) You'll notice that Lee rather subtly made several poker pages not subpages of poker. There's a certain logic to how he's done it, and it makes some sense to me. If we had disambiguating parentheses (see [4]) I would probably be advocating that we not use subpages ever (as parts of the article namespace, anyway). --LMS |
