Opened.
Out of the ten wicks:
- 1 is Linking To An Article Within The Article, and has been resolved.
- 3 are indices; 2 of these indices are for requesting Wiki Magic.
- 1 is the laconic.
- 1 is a trope page.
This leaves 4 wicks on work pages.
One possibility I can think of is a merge into Just Before the End or Pre-Climax Climax. Any other ideas?

The trope name and description are way overdramatized. Most of the examples listed have nothing to do with The End of the World as We Know It. Some of the examples, such as Apollo 13 and West Side Story, aren't even about a Final Battle.

I think expanding it to "characters think they're going to die soon, so they spend the time before their demise trying to enjoy themselves" is the best route to take that focuses the trope's definition while making it more inclusive.
Assuming we don't have it already, of course.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

I just say cut it. There's nothing worth salvaging here.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
One Last Night Of Whatever, from the Angel example, might actually make a better name for this trope, though it would need a more coherent description and likely a new YKTTW.
I'm starting to think cutting might be the best option here as well.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
I also agree with cutting this page

I can get behind cutting, if we cannot salvage anything.

There is definitely a trope here, it just needs to be refined a bit.

Given how non-indicative this trope name is to the definition you suggested, and how poorly this page is written, I think it's better to just destroy this and YKTTW a new trope from scratch.
I can get behind that.

If no one objects, I'll start a crowner with the options "Cut" and "Cut and send to YKTTW".

This crowner is at a week with the first option overwhelmingly in the green. Is this ready to call?

Calling. Axe it.

Dewick is done, and note placed in discussion page, so cutlisting and closing.

Crown Description:
What would be the best way to fix the page?
This trope was launched in 2011, but in five years time it has gained only 10 wicks, and the page itself has 12 examples (and 2 ZCEs).
The description is very unfocused. The gist of it I got is "things characters do before The End of the World as We Know It). A lot of examples are simply duplicates of Pre-Climax Climax, others are characters making amends of some kind or saying goodbye to their loved ones. For the setting itself there's the trope Just Before the End.
Maybe this can be salvaged, I don't know. Thoughts?
