My own personal bugaboo with regards to the "we _must_ split this article 
because it's so long" is the articles that wind up with (part 1 of 4), 
(part 2 of 4), (part 3 of 4), etc. in their titles. If an article's to be 
split then IMO it should be split solely along content lines so that the 
resulting articles can be named reflecting what's actually covered by them, 
not given arbitrary names like this.

Anyone know if there's a naming convention about this? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conventions#Do_not_use_an_article_name_that_suggests_a_hierarchy_of_articles 
looks like it could apply.
