It is text-heavy. We can do better than that.

Gentleman Troper!
That illustrates the name, not the trope, so I think it should remain off the page.
Also, I note that this trope is misused (on the page itself) for "characters in universe do not remember somebody's name" (akin to Accidental Misnaming). That may be a job for TRS.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Hi
That pic can stay gone.
Illustrates the name, not the trope. It can stay dead and buried for what I care.

Looks like the image is going to stay gone at this point. I have no idea on how to picture this though. The trope is someone with an actual name that is not mentioned or shown. That can't be represented by a still image (if it can be demonstrated at all), we need a comic or a lampshade (kind of wish we had a saying for that). Also, once a slot opens up, I want to take this trope to the TRS for bad misuse problems due to the dialogue title.

I'm the troper who pulled the image. I'm very sorry that I didn't discuss it beforehand; I know that images picked by IP should not be pulled without discussion, but I didn't realise that was bad practice even if it wasn't an IP decision.
That said, I still think that the image should stay off, because it was contributing to the misuse of "characters whose names are forgotten by other characters".
A genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker
Yeah, definitely a good call to pull, just not the best protocol.
This might have to go to TRS, it's not a terribly descriptive name.
The only thing I can think of for a possible image is an IMDB page where a character is credited as "Character name (Character description)."
But I'm not even sure that we could find it, it's visually boring, and... eh. I say blank it for now.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Classic Stock Phrase syndrome. This trope is really "I don't know these characters names." Should go to TRS for a rename.

Reading this IP made me realise that I need to make my characters' names known. Thanks.
I brought this to TRS.

Hi
In light of ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
, I'm gonna lock this up; we can re-address it once the TRS thread resolves.
Who Is This Guy Again image has been removed a few months ago without a thread or consensus for according to the history, "not being an example". Although the image is mediocre and text-heavy, I don't think it's bad enough that it needed to be pulled without a replacement. So, I guess we can try finding something better instead of leaving the page imageless.
