It seems that this page and all of these pages listed below are subtopics and should be combined into one main entry on Child pornography.

Well, I had in mind that "argumentation" pages would present information in more of a FAQ-style format. Kind of like how portals present the same info our articles do, except in a different format. Lysander (talk) 15:16, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

On Wikipedia, there's no choice but to beef up that first revision because otherwise they'll speedily delete pages (usually based on some expansive interpretation of the speedy deletion criteria). Here, you mostly express concerns and say "maybe I'll delete that later". In practice, I think if a page gets a lot of views, it will also tend to get a lot of edits if it's in need of improvement, so the problem fixes itself. Lysander (talk) 17:48, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
