[WikiEN-l] Long pages

[Magnus Manske]

I just had a look at the "longest pages" list. It was spearheaded by an 
untranslated article of incredible 243880 bytes. While I blanked that 
one and listed it on VfD, I keep wondering if some of these pages 
shouldn't go someplace else. [[Table of divisors]] and similar would 
IMHO fit better on wikisource. [[List of candidates in the 2004 Canadian 
election 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_candidates_in_the_2004_Canadian_election>]] 
would fit nicely into the "election data" section, no? The many "List of 
asteroids" entries could go there as well. Other lists ([[List of 
astronomical topics 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronomical_topics>]], as an 
example) can be restructured into the category system, while leaving 
unwritten topics.

To sum this up, I think we could get rid of at least 100 of the 150 
longest pages, without sacrificing any functionality. Shall we try this 
or not?
