I know There's No Such Thing As Notability, but...: Video Games.Red Baron

The page above is about a flash game on Newgrounds. It has no links anywhere else on the site, has brought no people to the Wiki, has exactly one edit (the one creating the page), has no trope list, and does not seem to be any different than ten million other beat-em-up flash games that use the same mechanics. In short, I believe that this page is needlessly taking up space that is better suited to other purposes.

I propose repurposing the page to instead describe this series of games. The Red Baron flight simulator series has both a long history and considerable recognition amongst fans of combat flight simulators, and I believe that it is worthy of its own trope page.

I think we can cut this on the grounds that it's a stub if it's got no trope list. That's one of our few hard rules for works pages, you have to have a trope list.

It does have three tropes (Mushroom Samba, Excuse Plot, What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made on Drugs?) potholed in the description, but two of them would be on the YMMV and Audience Reactions pages, leaving one on the actual work page.

I'd say since no links will be broken and the page is currently languishing (it was made almost seven months ago and has not been edited even once since then.) go ahead and change it over. If someone really wants to make a good page for the Newgrounds game they can make it at VideoGames.Red Baron Newgrounds.

This means that we really should finish up renaming the trope at Main.Red Baron to something else so that we can make the disambig page.

Went ahead and rewrote the article. Requesting a lock on this topic.

Whoa! Nice page, there. You do good work, Specialist290
