As Lethal as It Needs to Be and Selectively Lethal Weapon seem to be the same trope. They have 24 and 23 wicks respectively, so most likely the creator of the newer one didn't know the older one existed.

Cut Selectively Lethal Weapon.

As Lethal as It Needs to Be has a better description, and Selectively Lethal Weapon sounds more like a weapon with a non-lethal setting from the name.

Do we have any tropes about weapons with non-lethal settings?

OK, I've merged them, leaving Selectively Lethal Weapon as a redirect. Check the results if you want.

That was fast, mate. There still are 6 wicks, too.

Mmm, there's still a ghost wick. Perhaps it's the link from this TRS thread.

I think it's on a discussion page, but the bigger issue is, merging a trope with only 3 people agreeing? That's not OK, really.

Yes, that was very premature. Even though I agree with the act, essentially cutting a page takes more discussion in case there was something we had missed.

Clock is set, and I agree on the merge being too hasty.
