: I believe the idea of MEpedia is that it is hope it will grow slowly, so many pages may start out as stubs, but hopefully gather volume over time. If you look at Wikipedia, this is exactly what happened: in the early years articles were very minimal, but they slowly expanded over the years. So stub articles on important subjects I think should be kept. [[User:Hip|Hip]] ([[User talk:Hip|talk]]) 19:08, October 6, 2019 (EDT)

Please use MEpedia:Article outlines when creating new stubs, it saves a lot of work later. notjusttired (talk) 17:58, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

Delete?

User:Pyrrhus I saw you renamed this, but I have been thinking of deleting it due to lack of content, and just adding to the Terminology page so people get get a pop up explanation instead. ~Njt (talk) 10:31, October 6, 2019 (EDT)

Njt I think you raise an interesting question. This page represents an essential idea needed to understand any genetics studies, so this term must be described for readers. But should it be described in its own separate page, or in a glossary/terminology entry? This question could be asked of many many other pages as well. If there is a future section of this page that will be related to ME, it should definitely get its own page. But if there will not be any section on the page directly related to ME, maybe it would be better described in a short glossary/terminology entry, with links to "learn more". I would be interested to hear other people's opinions. User:Kmdenmark User:JaimeS User:JenB User:Hip User:Malcx User:Sisyphus Thoughts?

I believe the idea of MEpedia is that it is hope it will grow slowly, so many pages may start out as stubs, but hopefully gather volume over time. If you look at Wikipedia, this is exactly what happened: in the early years articles were very minimal, but they slowly expanded over the years.
