Disagree, 25 messages needed for a talk page archive is just common sense. Without the policy, people could just archive their talk page every time there are 2 messages on it. So for example, if someone gets 20 total messages and they archive their page for every 2, they'd have 10 archives.

A page should be archived when there are 25 - 50 messages on it, otherwise it gets too long. If it is archived any lower it makes it harder to look through the archives since they could just split it up into 15 of them with only like 4 messages on each. Like I said, common sense, there's no reason a page should be archived any lower than 25.
