Support - Article is over 100 kB, and should be split out starting with "Cell biology". Thoughts?--Jax 0677 (talk) 13:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Oppose. Article length per se is not a criterion. This has been previously explained to editor Jax 0677 when he suggested splitting the article on the Roma Empire on the same basis. The length criterion was suggested when browers and download times were much slower than currently. Much of the length of this article is in the references rather than in text.
All this having been said subdividing the article into smaller articles is a reasonable proposition. The difficulty is how to do this intelligently. The proposed split does not does this. For this reason I am reverting the edit made by editor Jax 0677.
If editor Jax 0677 can outline his/her reasons for splitting this article into sub articles for reasons other than length I for one would be most interested to read them. My own feeling is that to do so intellegently will take a considerable amount of editing of the content and this will probably be quite time consuming. This is similar to the problem faced by the editors of the Roman Empire where there has been a similar discussion. DrMicro (talk) 17:39, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Reply - OK, let's leave "toolong" and "split-apart" in the article for now until the article is reduced tactfully.--Jax 0677 (talk) 19:42, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Support This article should be split into two sections. This article is too long and too technical. Technical parts should not be removed but put into their own articles, with this pages referring to the sub-articles. I suggest one of two splits:
or
It's a great pain to switch between artificially split articles. Lets leave it intact and appreciate that we have quite few articles of such great work. BTW I use it while touchtyping (as preformatted 100k-size books). 100k is really is not a book. One couldn't even doubt of "100k is not a book" as larger real-world ones as voluminous books in volums exist. They are times and times greater. Splitting and dissolving a large article will have a large impact as a precedence not to improve existing ones as simply large or "exceeding size". Not only it is desctructive to wikipedia quality of connected material - it breaks non-relevant materials into other articles or creating non-linked (very ofted) and disconnected stubs or junks.--94.76.98.84 (talk) 10:48, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
