Please use this thread to request locks of articles that are deleted via the Cut List. The following types of locks are generally permitted:
- Work articles created in the wrong namespace.
- Banned subpages, like Headscratchers for a trope or YMMV for a creator.
- Work articles banned under the Content Policy.
The following types of locks are generally rejected unless the page is problematic for other reasons:
- Potentially valid subpages that were cut for having no content.
- Articles cut for being stubs or for being improperly launched from YKTTW.
Note that we do not add all cut articles to the Permanent Redlink Club, only those that a user might expect to find and be surprised that they do not exist.

Requesting PRLC membership for a Haiku page and its redirect on the following grounds:
- Haiku.4Chan and Haiku.Imageboards: There was a bunch of offensive content, including one which used "autism" as an ableist slur.
I don't bring it here for any personal reasons; I just realized that with a Haiku page for image boards, things would inevitably turn offensive for any group of people sooner or later.

Haiku.Four Chan is the link in question; there was a page shortly ago.
Haiku.Image Boards has been a redirect for a long time, so I question whether it needs PRLC membership.

Per 5P decision
, these pages ought to be locked:
- Ask Rarixie And Twombra
- YMMV.Ask Rarixie And Twombra
- Naomi Tani
- Creator.Naomi Tani
- Neko No Fuguri
- Neko No Fuguri
- YMMV.Neko No Fuguri
- Torment
They should also be added to the "cut" section here; the "keep" section ought to get Yoshizilla Rhedosaurus and Fluffy Pony listed.

I think I got all of those.

Is DarthWiki.Raguigi a candidate for this treatment? It's that troper's personal "I don't like them" moment-listing page - I've already Cut Listed it as it looks like an attempt to circumvent DMOS rules.

Yes, cut and lock it. We don't need personal DMOS articles. /sigh
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Two further candidates: Kill La Kill and Dreadful Musicians. The former, because it's from a very active work page and I kind of expect it to be restored if it was cut unlocked (I've put it on the cutlist because it's a new Main/-to-work redirect with insufficient inbounds and we don't do that). The latter, because it's a plural redirect and there is no need for it there.

I think that Victim Blaming should be locked, it's a little too easy for somebody to stroll in and be like "This is stupid, it's the victim's fault for (x thing)".

So far, we just had the one idiot. If it keeps accumulating problems, we'll consider locking it.

YMMV pages for video game consoles should be cut and locked to avoid flame wars.

Please enumerate any that haven't been done yet. I'm not going to go searching; presumably you've already done that work.

Can SonicAdventure2.Talking Skullz be locked? It's a stub in the wrong namespace and I messaged the original creator, but other people are editing it as well.

Going to ask for the same thing on Nuzlocke-After-Armageddon, for the same reasons - people editing the page after it's supposed to be no longer used.

Over at the YKTTW rescue thread, those present voted to cut Non Archenemy Series Finale for not really being a trope (or at best one already covered by other tropes) and being launched with only one hat, multiple "needs work" notes, and no discussion since July 2013.
However, the cutlist backlog is such that it's now been two weeks since the page was put on the cutlist (it has no wicks or inbounds), and the editor who made the apparently unilateral decision to launch it is still editing it. (S/he has not yet been PMed, and presumably should be; should the gist of the PM be "The page was voted to be cut, please go to YKTTW Rescue if you want to argue for its survival", or "The page was voted to be cut, please stop editing it"?)
Any chance of a lock or redlinking?

The discussion was here forward. In my opinion, if the cut reasons are still applicable (too sleepy to check that over) it should prolly be locked, in part because other people are editing as well.
Lost in Space
I locked it pending the cutlist resolution.

Many thanks.
Putting Horrible.Apps by ~Furian1996 out here as a candidate, since the last page we had on software-themed So Bad, It's Horrible (Horrible.Software) is in the PRLC.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Only reason I gave Apps its own page was because there were enough examples on the Other page to warrant Apps getting its own namespace. I could move the examples back to Other if it'd make you happy.
^Hrmm, much of that page (Horrible.Other) is Real Life examples - I'll put it up in the Real Life Section Maintenance thread.
Also, Man Versus Machine, a new Trope Headscratchers page.

Can Day Of Reckoning be locked? I asked the editor to use the properly namespaced page instead but they kept editing the wrong one.
