Splitting proposal

edit

@Onel5969: I propose that section Research & Development Department be split into a separate page called Nintendo Research & Engineering. The content of the current page seems off-topic and these sections are large enough to make their own page. ~ Arkhandar (message me) 18:40, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose - Thanks for the ping, Arkhandar, and thanks for opening this discussion. As per WP:SPLIT, this page only has 455 words, far below the metric required for a size split. The other type of split, a content split, imho, begs to keep the two departments on the main integrated page. I agree with Dissident93 that the second infobox should be removed.Onel5969 TT me 23:17, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Onel5969: I understand that the article is quite barren. But the thing is that the only thing that the two departments have in common is them belonging to Nintendo and the R&E department being merged into the IRD division in 2012. The current structure however gives off the impression that the IRD had an R&E department that developed handheld consoles, which isn't and never was the case. ~ Arkhandar (message me) 23:24, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Arkhandar: -- to me that seems even more of a reason not to split. That fact can be highlighted in the combined article, so there's no chance of that confusion.Onel5969 TT me 00:56, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
