This seems to be The Same But Less of What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?. The distinction is way too subtle. It's also not thriving, with only 19 wicks. Any chance it can be merged?

The first line of description explicitly mentions that this is the middle ground between an actual kids show and What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?" So it's pretty much a downplayed version of the latter.

Let's see... it only has 14 examples, 19 wicks (or 17 if you discount the index listing), and 6 inbounds. No YKTTW either. I support a cut/merge, if that's what you're proposing.

That was discussed over in the YKTTW Crash Rescue but the discussion petered out.

The examples look like a mish-mash between Parental Bonus and What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? and the title is bad. I would like to see a cut.

Cut for the reasons everyone else said.

Cut gets my vote. The distinction between this one and What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? is fuzzy at best, and looking at the examples, I see quite a few that really sound more like Parental Bonus, as well.

In my opinion pages like this don't add much to the the mission of documenting tropes, so if it is a problem or a needless duplicate I won't miss it. Especially seeing how it has been around for over a year and doesn't seem to have caught on.

I'm willing to wait to see if anyone can suggest fixes, but if not, cut.

Might as well pile on. +1 to cutting.

The page was cut; requesting closure.
