It's all a conspiracy.

Oh God, Vic Mignogna. He's the closest thing to a Base Breaker anime dub fandom has.
I say cut the page. Having a Troper Tales page just to gush about how awesome it was to meet someone/how much of a jerk they are IRL seems both pointless and kinda creepy.
Current project: Cleaning up the Chrono Crusade examples one at a time. God help me.
I see the Awesomeness.

Cut. We don't need troper tales for people.
Fight smart, not fair.

Yeah, Troper Tales for a person can go nowhere good. Cut with extreme prejudice.

Looks like it has been cut.
Total posts: 5
Vic Mignogna is one of the few (if not only) voice actors to have such a heavy flow of negative rumors circling about him, and its spilling into this page and leaving itself vulnerable to petty flame and edit wars. Granted, all the negative ones that were in there so far were blog post ripped from Weaboo Stories (I removed them already on the technicality that they were not from tropers), but I can see the Troper Tales page going bad again if a troper does edit the page to post a negative experience with him, especially since negative stories about him have been on the rise in the past week or so (authenticity irrelevant).
So should we cut and lock the page to nip a potential problem in the bud? Or am I overestimating the severity of the issue?
One person in the discussion pages already suggested that we delete the page on the basis of the fact that real people are not tropes, and thus the Troper Tales page should not even exist, which I generally agree with.
