Rename?

Pros:

Character named tropes are deprecated
Wick check shows heavy misuse for other inspector tropes — allegedly 40% misuse or more (in dispute — the wick check may have contained errors).
Frequently sinkholed whenever the inspector is mentioned, sometimes even when his being this trope is not relevant to the example.

Cons:

Current name generates lots of inbound traffic for the trope and wiki.
Significant uncertainty as to how widespread the misuse actually is.
Name may not necessarily be the origin of the actual misuse.
Javert is not merely trope-namer — many examples are based directly on this specific character.
