I just want to clarify my statement that it is best to divide topics into digestible bits. I think this should only be considered for most articles once they reach the 20 KB (minus markup) size and the resulting daughter articles are not stubs. Although some articles demand a larger size just to summarize all the main points and clearly link to daughters that have move detail on each of those points.
I think I have the same opinion than yours as regards this issue Mav, as I explained here : http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:The_Cunctator/Agglomeration
This is very much what I try to do with these "portal" pages I work on.
Only but...I put the limit much higher, around 30 kb size, essentially for technical reasons. That is where I draw the line. But even though I choose to separate part of the article, I always leave an introduction in the main article. Just a link is not informative enough.
