This seems to be essentially the same as Inspired by…, and if the wick check is any indication, it's a far less used page around here than it. [1] [2]

I believe a merge is in order here.

Suggested by... defines itself as " [an] adaptation credit [mainly] used for Derivative Works which depart massively from the original"

Inspired by… defines itself as "Semi-intentional Adaptation Decay applied to a true story."

So there seems to be a lot of overlap between Inspired by… and Very Loosely Based on a True Story on the one hand, and Suggested by... and In Name Only on the other, but not between the two.

Calling someone a pedant is an automatic Insult Backfire. Real pedants will be flattered.

I think lebrel is on the right track here. Suggested by...'s description says that it is "Arguably a sort of lampshaded In Name Only," so I wonder if it would make sense to merge those two tropes.

Bumpage. Are we going to do something here?

I didn't write any of that.
