There's no reason to redirect when it has no inbounds. Just cut if there's nothing salvagable in the description.

Heh, I thought of Yawgmoth right when I saw the trope name. EDIT: Oh look, Yawgmoth's listed. Seems the trope writer just wanted to make a trope around Yawgmoth, but didn't realize it'd already been taken.
Looks like Speakof The Devil to me.

Looks like somebody built a trope around Yawgmoth, half-heartedly found a few other examples, and called it a day.

I don't see a difference. Merge.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.
Speak of the Devil's description requires that saying the name summons the person and The Ineffable doesn't seem to. For instance, The Ineffable has the God of the old testament as an example, but that wouldn't count as Speak of the Devil. Should The Ineffable be the supertrope for "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" guys in general?

I would prefer naming the trope He Who Must Not Be Named instead of the Ineffable if we don't have it already; Yawgmoth is a thousand times more badass than that pansy wizard, but He Who Must Not Be Named is a much more indicative name.
EDIT: And of course, He Who Must Not Be Named is a redirect already to Speak of the Devil. So that options out.
But I really think we have this trope already.

The Scottish Trope, that's it. It even says so in the description - I just missed it.
So go ahead and get rid of this trope, and put the examples in The Scottish Trope or Speak of the Devil.

So looks like 5 votes for cutting, none against.
Anyone else?
I agree with cutting.

I've made sure all the examples are already on either Speak of the Devil or The Scottish Trope (there were only 2 or 3 that weren't duplicates or just bad examples)
It has been cut and the wicks have been moved. Hollering for a lock.

Nice work, everyone.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
This trope has 4 wicks, 0 inbounds, and 11 examples. It isn't indexed. Its description is less than a stub, and what little is there looks like a duplicate of Speak of the Devil. There's no link to a YKTTW in the discussion page, so I think it was launched without one.
I propose merging the examples into Speak of the Devil and making this a redirect.
