== Overuse of color, and too many contrast changes ==
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
 
"Accessibility" is related to [[WP:Article size|article length]], not readability (see [[WP:NOTPAPER]]). We do not delete content because an article is "too long." That violates [[WP:Preserve]], a policy, not a guideline. Instead, we split/fork off aspects of the whole topic that have become an undue weight problem. Splitting long articles and leaving adequate summaries is a natural part of growth for a topic (see [[WP:Summary style]]).
