This article has just four examples on it from works of fiction, one of which is a fanfic. There are two non-fiction/Real Life examples and some troper tales. It needs work for it to survive. It's mentions on other trope pages are just a couple of the works pages mentioned in the article, and the rest are either indexes, or mentioned in other trope descriptions. Can it be saved?

It just needs Entry Pimping. One thing you could do is create a YKTTW for it to gather examples.

Forgive the exceedingly late reply, but where would it be besides work pages, trope pages, and index pages?

[up]The original poster claims it doesn't appear on anything besides indexes and work pages. Aside from trope pages, those are the only places where it should appear. In other words, it's not much evidence of misuse.

Probably just needs some Wiki Magic love - I think this is a reasonably common trope, though no examples come to mind outside of a few personal experiences that would belong in Troper Tales.

Actually, the OP claims it doesn't appear on anything besides indexes, trope pages, and "a couple of" work pages. Probably the intent was that, even for a trope with as few examples as this one, the reciprocal linkage from work pages is still weak.

It's now got 29 Wicks in its own right and 7 via redirect. The wicks look happy, and the examples are increasing, even if we don't have a huge page of them yet*

.

I think it's healthy, but...not entirely sure how one of these threads end, exactly, even if it should now.

How come No Pun Intended isn't the main title? That's what I've always seen it called elsewhere.

[up]Not entirely sure, but it could be that tropes with Stock Phrases for titles tend to undergo Trope Decay.
