It only has 4 visible examples, 3 hidden ZCE, 2 wicks, brought 3 people to the wiki since January 1, 2012, isn't indexed and the last major edit was in 2015.

Yep, this needs serious help. Opening.

When this was brought up in the crash rescue thread, I was thinking we should send it to TLP. Not sure if that will be enough to save it.

I'd just cut it. I don't feel there's anything worth salvaging here.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Poorly chosen, unclear name. Poor description which suffers from Example As Thesis. It's no wonder it's not thriving.

Cut or send back to TLP seem like the only sensible options. I lean slightly more toward the former.

I vote to cut. There's nothing really worth salvaging here.

Send this back to TLP over cutting it.

Seems like the evil twin brother of Taking Up the Mantle and subtrope of Legacy Character. I am also voting for TLP.

There's nothing stopping someone from going to TLP with a decent variant of this, whether or not we decide to cut. In fact, one thing I've done in the past is to go to TLP with a proposal, saying "it looks like repair shop might cut Trope X; this new trope would address the issues, but can be discarded if Trope X is not cut."

The problem with voting for "send to TLP" is it means we have to hold up the thread until we find some sucker volunteer willing to go to TLP with a decent description and such, and then see the thing through.

There simply isn't enough here, in my opinion, to justify that. It's only four examples.

Is unlaunch still an option?

I don't think it takes much effort to move this to TLP. Unless anybody has concerns about the write-up. And wouldn't we just close this thread afterwards?

The seed of something is here, but I think it's too limited in its current form. TLP is probably best.

As I said before, this should be cut. This seems Too Rare to Trope.

Cut. This is way too narrow in scope, so I'm agreeing with ADrago that this is Too Rare to Trope. The fact that the few on-page examples we have are all-white entries isn't helping, either.

I stand by my vote to cut the page since this is Too Rare to Trope and too narrow. The other option is to send back to TLP. Should I create a crowner?

[up] Sure.

However, technical issues may prevent a hook from going smoothly at the moment, so simply linking will do for now.

I've created a crowner, though I had trouble getting the link to the TRS thread to work in the At Issue section. Hollering for a hook.

[up] Crowners won't work when they're hooked to threads; people will have to use the direct link to vote.

Bumping to see if there are more votes to be had. Cut is currently leading.

It's been a little over a week since I opened the crowner and cut is leading with 5 votes.

It's been almost 2 weeks since the crowner was opened and we have 9 votes in favor of cutting and 1 vote and 4 downvotes for sending back to TLP. Is there enough consensus for cutting?
