Well, other articles are not really relevant to this one. I would say the inclusion criteria should work like this: we should firt have prose that explains every major aspect of the subject. For each of these aspects, examples and images should be chosen that best exemplify that aspect. Notability
804:
All that being said, I suppose we could be more liberal with it were we to split it off into its own article, leaving a hatnote here to lead readers to it. But for a table that is part of this article, not many examples are even needed. My concern about criteria is to limit the examples so that only
773:
I think you are only talking about inclusion criteria at all because the tables give a list-like nature to the article. We would not be having this discussion if the article was structured more conventionally. Now I know you can point out that I created the article with that structure, but I won't

A lot of the puzzle descriptions in this article contain unverifiable or irrelevant information. Specifically, many refer to alternate names, percieved difficulty, commercial value, quality of workmanship, among other things, that don't really seem to help describe the puzzles at all. I cleaned up

It's not such a bad idea to have the "Pattern variation" section in prose rather than a table. However, you left the section without any illustrations at all, which is a bad thing. I'm not against converting to prose, that would be a good thing. But it needs to be done with a bit more care and

and besides, before long we have a pretty good idea of what the article is getting at. There are some really explanatory examples and others that add nothing meaningful to the reader's understanding of the topic. I say only notable examples should be included because there are theoretically many
790:
Well, the point isn't really who did what. I suppose, now that I think about it, if we could make it less "listy" and more prose, that would be nice, but I won't argue that point here. I'm approaching this sort of like I would a navbox: It's basically a roadmap that readers can logically follow.
735:
That's a fair point, but there has to be some sort of inclusion criteria. Otherwise, people could add literally anything they've heard of that might remotely fit. Some examples, especially ones that people can buy somewhere, are OK, but there isn't too much of a need to explore the possibilities

some of the sentences that readlike comments or weren't verifiable, but it's still pretty messy. If anyone has a citation for any of these alternate names, please include it. Most of this information shouldn't be here, I think that may be a good place to start on the cleanup.
