Just nuke. He's a real person and I don't think his eyes are actually mentioned in the show. It's just a coincidence.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickMisha Collins example nuked. I think I spotted all the RL ones. Don Bluth has a mention of Blue Eyes in his works that I figure is too sweepingly general to disambiguate, and I'm deleting, but Mary Renault's in-work usage looks like some valid, some not, I'll need to look closer. That leaves 1155 wicks. Is it proper etiquette to leave a note on discussion pages, or is that superfluous with this kind of clean up?
EDIT: The Blue Eyes disambiguation page appears to be playing host to a character sheet for a Darth Wiki work called The Blue Trilogy.

Just leave edit reasons and you're good.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickUgh. I just found Midnight Blue Eyes which is just basically the same thing as the old Blue Eyes page for a slightly different shade. It doesn't seem to have a specific connotation of it's own but instead just duplicates all the Blue Eyes tropes but Innocent Blue Eyes.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanMod fiat took care of it. The YKTTW was created explicitly after the author was told to knock it off. Just enforcing what should have been done in the first place.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickA question concerning Blue Eyes: Why is Blue Green Eyes being dumped into Blue Eyes in such an awkward way? Is there a specific (or many specific) Adjective Blue Green Eyes trope anywhere?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman1) There isn't a specific blue-green eyes trope, and 2) blue-green eyes tend to be used the same way as blue ones.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.That's a holdover from when it was used as a trope. As far as I know, there was YKTTW for blue-green eyes called Dreamy Blue-Green Eyes. That didn't go so well and was abandoned because it didn't get any examples in the YKTTW and wasn't symbolic, and thus was thought to not be a trope.

"Learning without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without learning is dangerous."Hang on a tick, does that mean I should be leaving non-Zero Context Examples of blue-green eyes wicked to the Blue Eyes page? (I don't remember finding any blue-green examples that had any context, as yet)

No, there are no tropes for Blue Green Eyes. We looked. There are none. Sometimes they follow Blue Eyes tropes. Sometimes they follow green eyes tropes. Most often though they aren't tropable. They are most likely to be an actual trope if they fall under Elemental Eye Colours.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickGoing through this "trope" I found not actual black eye tropes. Instead there's a lot of gushing about about how pretty people's eyes are or how so and so's eyes are actually brown. I did however note one trend that doesn't seem confined to black eyes.
Colour Changing Eyes: A character's eyes change colour to indicated a change in the character. This is not limited from changing to one shade or another, but it does seem to be a common happenstance and is the one trend I picked up on in the examples.
The trends mentioned in the description do not appear in the examples. Someone just made them up to sound good.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickBlack Eyes sounds like something that can be cut, then. That Changing Eye Colours - we don't have such a thing, right?
Concerning Blue Eyes - if blue-green is simply a mixture of Blue Eyes and Green Eyes, can we remove its section from Blue Eyes so that it doesn't create confusion and that ugly empty space at the bottom?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI think the Colour Changing Eyes needs a trip to Lost And Found—if we already have it, we wouldn't want duplicates.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerDropped a note in Lost And Found.
Offtopic, but how do you watchlist Lost And Found?

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanUm, isn't Colour Changing Eyes Kaleidoscope Eyes?
"Learning without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without learning is dangerous."Yup. I was sure we couldn't have missed that.
Click add to watchlist.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerNo, it's not actually. Kaleidoscope Eyes are basically eye colour as a mood ring. This would be eye colour changing indicating a dramatic shift in the character like suddenly being demon tainted. Or becoming undead. Not just "my eyes change colour because I'm sad now."

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickAnother possible trope is nonhumans have impossible colouring but otherwise look like humans. Sort of related to Rubber-Forehead Alien I'm thinking. Only it's not always aliens. It tends to be fantasy races just as often which seems to discourage Rubber-Forehead Alien.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickSo Color Changing Eyes would be the supertrope? And why is Kaleidoscope Eyes the main name? Mood Ring Eyes is a lot more obvious.
Because of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. It's a reference to something that doesn't even use the trope. Yes, colour changing eyes would be the supertrope.
Honestly, with the amount of random misuse for Kaleidoscope Eyes, I'd change it to Mood Ring Eyes. The definition is far more specific than the use it's getting which seems to be any time eyes have more than one colour for any reason even if they don't actually change.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickBarring the impending death of the TV Tropes The TV Show links, Blue Eyes is fully disambiguated. I know Oreochan and I were burning the candle at both ends and thanks to anyone else, too. (I often got distracted by just how many character sheets were unindexed)
Black Eyes is done too. Next up splitting Brown Eyes. Red Eyes, Take Warning and Eyes of Gold are actual tropes but they are going to need some heavy clean up. Red Eyes, Take Warning needs to be red eyes show a character is dangerous and/or evil or thought to be at the very least because of the eyes. Eyes of Gold needs to be gold eyes show a character is supernatural of some sort.
Eyes of Gold may need a rename since people seem to use if for Gold Eyes.

Lyrical invocaton, conversational troping, good. Got that. Killed some four dozen RL examples, lyricless music examples...the Misha Collins entry stops me short. An actor, but the example (once I cut gush) has a costar Conversational Troping Innocent Blue Eyes and inferentially, the standard association with Heavenly Blue, referencing the actor's role as an angel. Change to subtrope with a conversed note, move to the character page of the series he appears in, or nuke?
Many fictional examples are X Just X by nature. I gather that means mass nuking w/ edit reason, yes? (That faux-redlink pending?)
