Guideline?

I am pretty much sure that example cruft plagues many articles. Does it make sense to expand it into a formal guideline? See Talk:Streisand effect Staszek Lem (talk) 16:56, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

These already is a guideline section on this at WP:SPAMBAIT Krushia (talk) 22:19, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to say something about not turning examples into images.

It says nowhere here that so many examples may not (which is true) be mostly/all in one image, which stupefied me, so do not let this deceive others by adding more information which concerns that topic. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 03:26, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this is an opinion essay, not a guideline or policy. And adding something like that kinda falls into the WP:Beans category. This essay doesn't seem to have that many references from my quick search of talk pages linking here turns up less than 500; you might want to check out the MOS:TRIVIA guideline which covers some of the same issues.
