Can you be more specific? Too much Natter? (there is a lot) Bad examples? I don't see anything particularly horrible about this page at a glance.
Given the definition of the trope, it's likely a "is the author serious?" type of page which devolves into complaining pretty quickly. The most common thing to do with something like that is to perform an Example Sectionectomy or restrict to in-universe examples.
Fight smart, not fair.Also, is it just me, or is this name completely opaque? Without looking at the page, I had no way of knowing what this trope was about at all.
Belief or disbelief rests with you.We should probably add a redirect, though. Just glancing at those can be good indicator of what the page is about, especially for more opaque names like this. I can't think of anything at the moment. Uh..."Not Actually Fundamentalist"?
A lot of entries are really unfocused. We should probably purge the page and the individual entries of material that doesn't directly relate to actual examples of the law. Also, does anyone else feel like this page sometimes just feels... needlessly spiteful? What with the tired conservatism jokes.
What with the strong potential for complaining and spitefulness on this page, I say we just have the page go the same way as Award Snub and cut the examples altogether. I won't name specific examples (both for the sake of Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment, and because listing them would take too long), but I myself got pissed off reading a good portion of the page.
EDIT: Alternatively, we could sandbox the page in order to clean out the offending examples.

And now, for all your effort, you will remain in annals as "that guy who removed a page and wrote three lines of rant to cover the removal of one line about Twilight fans" - which, contrary to your exclamations, had a link to the source. Sorry, Abodos... the folk's like this.
...And even I make no pretense Of having more than common sense - R.W.WoodPerhaps this should be examples discussed in-show instead of people going "we're not sure if X was being completely serious", no?
something^^I don't really remember removing anything related to Twilight in particular, though there was so much that I had to delete that it might have been there in the scrap heap. If you truly feel like it still belongs on the page, and if the people mistaking it for a parody are not just a figment of Weasel Words, then feel free to put the example back in.
Fast Eddie looks to have gone through and done a lot of deNattering. I don't see any serious movement toward action other than cleanup. Can we call this done?
^Yeah, I think any further cleanup will be minor enough that it can be done outside of the TRS.
Alright, we're done here.

Looking at examples,I've reached the conclusion that something needs to be done regarding the examples on this page, perhaps a general clean is in order?
