I'd support merging. If the pages become too big, then we can have subpages under the same policy heading. So, for instance, Wikipedia:Deletion Policy may need to have '/undeletions' - but at least we'd keep it all together and have a composite introduction to the various parts--Docg 10:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I can see the point. Can I suggest that Wikipedia:No personal attacks, Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No legal threats be merged to a new page, Wikipedia:Behavioural policy, so that each page could have its own section and shortcut, because I would hate to see those useful statements declared in the page headers disappear. They have a vitality, an emphasis, which is needed here. Might also be worth considering merging Wikipedia:Deletion policy, Wikipedia:Undeletion policy and Wikipedia:Category deletion policy to Wikipedia:Deletion policies for a similar rationale.

Note the existence of {{Policylist Deletion}}. Separate pages are still possible if they are linked enough. Very large pages can put people off reading them. I've suggested "executive summaries" with "detailed subpages" in the past. Also, please don't confuse policies and "how-to guides". The latter are helpful when kept separate from the policies.
