Many pages with insufficient content
"It is important for SEO to ensure that web pages have enough words because search engines use the content of a page to determine its relevance and quality. Pages with very little content may be seen as low-quality or thin content by search engines, which can negatively impact the site’s SEO performance"
I am convinced by that statement from Bing Webmaster Tools. Pages do not have to have a high volume of content. They might be very little, like workable examples or a short but clear explanation. They are still relevant and perceived as of high quality.
What others think about it?
Thanks,

I'm not sure what to make of this - Bing's telling me that I have a high severity problem with a bunch of pages - trouble is there all contact pages eg https://davidleedesign.co.uk/contact/
@Bing - should we ignore this or have you any suggestions of what info I should add to address the problem?

gideonrobertsI think that such pages, where there is little content, are incorrectly marked as pages with insufficient content. After all, you can't create content on every page just to satisfy the search engine algorithm. Personally, in such a case I simply ignore the error that Bing gives.
