I see no reason to keep it.
Infinite Tree: an experimental story
Loser
I think that it is possible to have a real person be the butt of many jokes, but I agree that the trope really only works with fiction. Plus, I would tend to worry about people using it as an excuse to bash real people which as far as I can tell is not the goal of the wiki.

It most definitely is not the purpose of this wiki. That's why the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment exists.
I also vote to nuke it; inasmuch as I can think of examples that might belong (like the guy who, in real life, got hit by lightning seven times), it's more than a little cruel (plus, they probably all belong in either Cosmic Plaything or The Woobie). (edit: forgot that "the" is not part of a trope title in this case.)

Apparently it's an excuse to discuss who people pile on. Acceptable Political Targets if you will. Seems like it's just going to attract all the Misplaced Nationalism we try to get rid of elsewhere.
