This policy aims to help clear up whether or not a new topic of the Realms deserves its own article. This is not to be used in all cases, rather only when debating whether a topic warrants its own article or be included in a related article. If more than 3 sentences cannot be written about a subject, it does not deserve its own page. The only exceptions to this guideline though would be broader subjects such as items, creatures and people that can exist almost anywhere in many different capacities. Of course there are some vagaries as to the various writing styles (some people could stretch certain articles out to fill the requisite 3 sentences) but as stated before this is just meant to be a proposed guideline.

This policy aims to help clear up whether or not a new topic of the Realms deserves its own article. This is not to be used in all cases, rather only when debating whether a topic warrants its own article or be included in a related article. If more than 3 sentences cannot be written about a subject, it does not deserve its own page. The only exceptions to this guideline though would be broader subjects such as items, creatures and people that can exist almost anywhere in many different capacities. Of course there are some vagaries as to the various writing styles (some people could stretch certain articles out to fill the requisite 3 sentences) but as stated before this is just meant to be a proposed guideline. The aim is not to stretch an article to three sentences so that you can place it on its own page. The aim is to use this guideline sensibly to determine whether or not an article is worthy of its own page. For example, if you search for The Breaking or Dragonturtle Day you will be redirected to subsections of Marsember, as they are events related with that city. They are also both 3 sentences or shorter. It would be quite difficult to write more than this on these subjects. Midsummer on the other hand is celebrated throughout the Realms and is 4+ sentences.
