The page for the Robot Me trope needs some help with this.
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.
Those Two Guys and its subpages, most obviously Western Animation, Live-Action Films and Animated Films. The last one is the worst, with approximately zero properly elaborated entries.

All of them are "[character] in [work]".
Given this and the poor wicks and inbounds, it's prolly in need of a visit to the Repair Shop.

It's been a month with no progress. Can i Cut List it?
Might want to run that here
Also, seeking people willing to look through Hot Scoop and GIS to collect some context for the Zero Context stuff. I'd do it myself but measuring something's attractiveness isn't really a thing I am good at.

Dark City has a lot of examples of Zero Context Examples on the film page. A lot of them don't even have entries on the corresponding trope pages.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
Hey I have a question about the Zero Context Examples. What are we suppose to do about tropes where everything pretty much is covered by the trope definition to the point that nearly the entire page is nothing but ZCE's?
Heavy Meta, for example. Almost every single song is simply the song name and band name, where the song name alone usually covers the Meta aspect about the song's lyrics and theme being about it's own genre, which is what this trope is: Songs singing about the genre the song is in.
Add context. For one: How is song X about genre X?

Yeah, but for the entire page? I haven't even heard of most of those songs.
Eh, I think even in these circumstances we can comment out most examples.

Is anyone up for starting Alto Villainess in TRS? Shop appears to be open right now.
Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.
What is a TRS supposed to achieve there? I think that commenting out all examples would do the job just as well.

Or, look at the linked work pages, and see if there's a description of the character that would justify their appearance on the page. (And comment out if not.)

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Not any more. 
I'm not sure how many I'll be able to do in any depth, since I'm not particularly familiar with vocal ranges, and I haven't watched many of the films and shows listed.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.
No, the other one.
I saw a That Is All example on Love to Hate, and when I looked a little closer, I noticed a plague of ZCEs. Kind of expected for a This Villain Is Popular YMMV. Is it just to comment them out, or is the policy different for YMMV?

Check out my fanfiction!
No difference in policy.

No, the other one.
Right. Commented out a bunch. Feel free to see if I applied the right amount of pressure to the grinder. Also putting a note in the discussion.
Check out my fanfiction!
The note must be on the page source. I'll add that.

Finally got all the Negima character pages.
The Greys Anatomy example from Urgent M Edical Alert: delete it? Don't know the show at all, so someone else must fix it.
Anything on that? Had a slot on TRS, but took it on something else I just found at the time.

Juxtaposition Gag was already in TRS. Twice.
Also, TRS is not a good place to fix Zero Context Examples. Never worked in my experience.
