Page Restoration Petitions

If you allow my 2cents here,

I think all works including "Astarotte no Omocha!" (and excluding pornWithoutPlot) has the right to be here on tv tropes. They just need to be properly cleaned so that they appear with proper information for the show it is. In many shows (specially ecchi anime) the pages really need to be locked. There's really no reliable way around than to lock. I vote and fight for clean and lock of "Astarotte no Omocha!" things can just go wrong if it stays open :|. We just need some1 to do the cleaning, though...

So why should we restore it? We need reasons beyond "I think it should be restored." Tell us specifically why we were wrong in cutting the article.

Asked another way: Why doesn't it break our content policy? Is there a clean version that we overlooked? Did we fail to account for some fact about the work like (for example) its demographic?

The flag for Rotte No Omocha was due to a misclick on my part; please zap.

Well at least we know it works. :P

EDIT: Hang on. Why did you go to Anime/RotteNoOmocha? The anime is AstarotteNoOmocha.

The main reason I'd want to keep it is that it demonstrates that a guy with a daughter the same age as the supposed love interest would more likely treat her as another daughter, rather than as a love interest, and he's more likely to restart a relationship with her mother.

That said, it's probably not a series that's appropriate for a place as sensitive as this.

I wouldn't want it restored for the purpose of setting an example; that's irresponsible. I don't want it to stay gone for the sake of its Audience-Alienating Premise; that's immature.

I want it restored because I don't believe (the manga at least) is against our guidelines.

This, pretty much.

@Sabbo: Because alternate romanization of "Lotte."

I was aware of Rotte No Omocha not being covered by the same wall as Lotte No Omocha; I've even mentioned it a few times. I was wondering why you went to Rotte No Omocha instead of Rotte No Omocha or Astarotte No Omocha.

EDIT: Heh. This post looks weird.

EDIT2: Oh hey, that last one wasn't a locked page. Might want to fix that until P5 takes another look at the series.

Hint: replace / with a . to show namespace in the link. That would make the post quite abit less weird looking ^_~

I know. But I like it looking weird. :P

And just like Keep Abreast Of This Index before it, Nothing Butt An Index has been summarily cut three days ago. Any chance of a review?

Considering Butt tropes can be easily played for humor I'd agree it should be looked into.

And I also propose the uncutting of Keep Abreast Of This Index and repurposing it into a general chest tropes index, thus including tropes like Top-Heavy Guy, Carpet of Virility, and so on. The common definition of the word "abreast" is not limited to female breasts, after all

If I'm not mistaken, we had decided that any pertinent information was already under Anatomy Tropes, hadn't we?

According to the Cut List, here's the reasong why it was cut:

Well, that peculiar. While there were some tropes indexed on there that were indeed rather skeevy, others (e.g., Rump Roast) were actually comedy tropes, too.

The tropes were moved there for the time being, yes. But AFAIK we have yet to make a firm decision about the merit of creating subindexes for large subgroupings of tropes that deal with specific body parts.

If he is going to cut things himself, he should at least clean up the wicks himself.

Or at least make the cutting public (even if he intends for it to be non-negotiable), so that those concerned can clean it up themselves. That's one reason why TRS and Content Violations exist, you know.

This is out of the blue, but I'd like to petition the restoration of An Ordinary Sex Life. It was originally cut for being porn, and while there is non-negligible amount of sex in it, I feel there is enough of a story to justify restoring it.

An average chapter has about three pages with 2 detailed sex scenes, with some having a bit more, some a bit less. The scenes are usually at the very beginning and ending of the chapter, and in between them is a plot that is too substantial to be there simply to justify the sex scenes. Mind you, the conflict most often stems from the main character and his relationships, sexual and romantic, but enough emphasis is placed on the non-sexual aspects for it to be considered something other than straight up porn.

What is the plot of that?

Well, it's more focused on the main character and his relationships. I don't really want to call it a Slice-of-Life, but the development and drama between the characters is the main focus.

Why was Gas Hole cut?

Gas Hole never existed. Gasshole, on the other hand, does.

Thanks, I need to start paying more attention.
