removing Five Man Band parody of a trope entry; the number rule is rigid; also the context has to illustrate the archetypes and contribution specialization to avert impession of random role assignment (upon which the characters can have their solid separate templated entries; not an FMB one); the trope is not about musical ensembles; cleanup/question/objections thread — http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13401353520A80460100
