Well, they are with some people and not with others. Larry Sanger wrote a couple of essays against them (on Larry Sanger/Columns) that convinced me; before that I hadn't given it much thought at all (not being a philsopher). ;-) Lately he's created a few subpages himself, which is not in conflict with his position on articles, because the subpages he's created aren't articles. I think everyone agrees that they're useful for meta-issues (pages about wikipedia and -pedians, /Talk pages, etc.) Some people think that they impose a hierarchy on information that doesn't always hold true. That's about where it stands. I think debate about them has generally fallen off. --KQ
