Bumping this. We still haven't gotten that many votes on the crowner, though the ratio could be considered consensus. :/

Still, I say we wait a couple more days.

I figure that given the number of bumps that this topic has already received without changes in the single proposition crowner, it probably will not change if we wait more. Plus, this topic slipped to the second page so I think that gives more of a reason to start voting for possible new names now.

So I think that an alternate names crowner is in order now and I made one here. I admit that it might need some work, so feel free to edit and add examples to it as you see fit.

For the record, single-prop was at 20 yeas, 6 nays.

Anyone else have any other suggestions? I came up with those that are currently in the crowner (mentioned in my first post in this topic as well) in like two seconds.

It seems pretty unanimous (for the most part). Should we go ahead and do it?

Slowed Down Cover is probably not an accurate title, since the trope isn't just about slowing down the song—it's a broader change in the arrangement and style of the piece to give it a certain mood. There are probably examples of covers that are slowed down, but would not fit this trope.

Case in point: Da Vinci's Notebook's version of The Dreidel Song. Definitely slowed down. Definitely not this trope.

Then this really seems like a duplicate of The Cover Changes the Meaning, in that case.

Not sure there's consensus on any name yet. I also don't like Slowed Down Cover for the reasons that have already been stated by others.

Well, if we could get more suggestions, that'd be nice. So few people seem to care about the lesser-known tropes on this wiki that discussions trying to fix them go stagnant way too easily.

This really seems to be going nowhere, and that saddens me, as this trope desperately needs a new name.

Y'know what? This really can just be merged with The Cover Changes the Meaning, can't it? It really just seems like the same thing only slightly more specific.

[up] It's a subtrope that happens frequently. The Same But More Specific isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes it just means something has a subtrope.

Subtropes are a great way to split off smaller more manageable groups from a huge larger trope. In this case, the supertrope is a huge unwieldy mess. This is a smaller subtrope in which things happen the exact same way. I'd honestly rather The Cover Changes the Meaning have more subtropes. It would help the page organization a lot.

[up][up]Then maybe we should get on starting a project like that. If there isn't already a thread about it, I'll make the TRS thread.

Okay, I moved the page. I'll fix the wicks later when I have more time.

If you are leaving the wicks 'til later I'd suggest doing the index pages at a minimum so the new page doesn't come up as indexed.

No subpages to move, no discussion. I moved the wicks over and added a note to Renamed Tropes. Several sentences became more informative during the move.
