Very strange list. A story book with some psukim doesn’t require genizah, but a protective book cover does?
“Whoever put together this list was great with halachic nuance!” Seriously how does anyone respect anything without a listing sources! Half of these seem made up or lean towards some extreme leaning halacha.but one can’t tell because they dont list sources.
a few pesukim doesn’t require geniza a lot of pesukim does
an invitation with pesukim – see igros moshe

In our Yeshiva, we have a psak from Rav Shmuel that has a very different set of guide lines.
For example, almost all worksheets – even translation sheets with Hashem’s name on them- does not require geniza, recycle in sufficient.
(You can’t put them directly in the garbage as that is a bizoyon.) The same applies to parsha sheets etc.
