A method with a large number of arguments can be very hard to read, such a method should be considered for redesign. A method which requires a large number of arguments can be broken down into several methods with fewer arguments. Another way to overcome this problem is to encapsulate all of the arguments into a separate entity, for instance a class, then pass the class around rather than the individual attributes.
The creation method is made as an exception for this role.
