Why A Directory Page Stays Live.

Not every raw record becomes a public page. A page stays live here when it still helps browsing: enough context, enough linked entities, and enough clarity to justify its own URL.

Pages that survive

The best survivors are pages that pull together biography, top tags, recent posts, and a clear next step. The site is stricter with thin pages because a dead-end catalog wastes crawl budget and wastes the reader's time.

What this means for the archive

The visible archive is smaller than the source. That trade-off is intentional: fewer pages, but more pages that can actually pass someone forward to the next useful screen.
