Not Thriving: Parent-Fu

This trope doesn't seem too thriving, with only 5 examples, a whooping 2 wicks, a rather weak description, and no indexing.

Its title also has an hyphen, but that's trivial; the question is simply: is it worth keeping as a trope and cleaning up, or should we let it drop?

It seems to heavily overlap with Papa Wolf and Mama Bear, at least (the bad) description-wise.

Doesn't seem to have a YKTTW either.

Description basically says that this is about Badass Parents, but I am not sure how this is much distinct from Mama Bear or Papa Wolf either

...yeah, this doesn't really seem to be a trope(the description is awful to boot). Cut

That's quite bad.

The description is very vague and the examples look like they are about Corporal Punishment.

CUT.

Cut. If we are worried about the 33 inbounds... maybe redirect to Papa Wolf?

I'm not keen on having this as a redirect to Papa Wolf, especially since it applies to Mama Bear as well. If it were to be made a redirect, it should probably be to both, but I'm sure that's not even possible.

Anyway, are 33 inbounds actually considered that much?

There seems to be a consensus that it isn't worth keeping.

I'd rather see it cutlisted than turned in a redirect; we're trying to cut down on the existence of hyphenated titles.

Cut it.

33 inbounds aren't worth it.

should we wait for a few more opinions of the subject, or can we go ahead and cutlist this?

Six votes and two days isn't nearly enough. Wait it out.

I also think it should be cut.

It's quite badly written, and the way I interpret the trope ("Parents seem to get very good at fighting, usually when they are beating up their own children but sometimes when fighting other people") it seems to be a mixture of Papa Bear and Corporal Punishment. And to the extent that it differs from these, I doubt that it's tropeworthy.

I'm also motioning for a cut.

No much more trafic, but I think the decision is quite clear. I'm going to put on the cutlist.
