And, unfortunately, that's how articles on every sub-subject get created, because people often don't want to slog through editing down an overly large article. It's easier to go off and create a little article on your own, that way you get all the pride of ownership and creation and none of the hassle of editing conflicts.
That's a bit of an assumption of bad faith there and doesn't match my own experiences. When I create sub-articles it's usually by splitting pieces off of an existing article, I don't often write the material from scratch.
Bad faith? How so? I'm just positing an explanation for how these things happen.
Your wording implied that it was _the_ explanation for how these things happen. In my experience it isn't even a common explanation for how these things happen.
