From YKTTW

Sockatume: Moving some stuff to "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"...

---

Dancingrage: So...quick question: Why is there not a Real Life area of this trope? Heavens knows you don't get crap done without a Rousing Speech such as those Winston Churchill dug out or Theodore Roosevelt or his cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt? History of all things provides us with GOBS of Rousing Speeches, and probably has an argument of being made up of damn near nothing BUT rousing speeches, so wtb (want to buy) a real life section here.

Madrugada: The very fact that there are so many is, in itself, an argument against having a "Real Life" section. It would quickly become the largest section, and this focus of the wiki is Trope use in Media not Real Life. But there's no reason not to make a Quotes Page. I'll do that.

Citizen: I'll just leave this◊ here... =P

Charred Knight: I would rather have Gihren here, since that speech was based on Gihren's speech. Plus the speech managed to make Amuro crap his pants.

---

Madrugada: The Mythology section as it stands right now bugs me... Saying "This trope exists in these works", but not actually giving any examples is lazy. I'll leave this comment for a week for anyone to defend that section, but if no one does, I'm cutting it.

Zetaseal: Someone doesn't like the fact that Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night was turned into a redirect for this page. He took down the redirect and left this:

What the hell happened here? This was a separate item, different definition, examples and page quotes. Its like Macekre, something which was significantly different from Bowdlerize, and has been reduced to a redirect to Bowdlerize. What the hell is going on? Is there a gang of vandals loose on this site reducing articles to redirects based on false assumptions? Signed, ZeldaTheSwordsman.

Granted, on the discussion for the page itself, there was no mention of a merge or whathaveyou, but I still fixed it.

AOD: This trope is under discussion AGAIN in the linked thread. Please feel free to contribute your opinions.
