This is also my first time reporting something like this on ATT, so I'm not sure I properly linked everything.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet Unless I grew it. In that case, throw it in the trash.
Checking the history, it seems ~dinur7 did not originally add the UU entry (that re-addition is their only edit to the page; it was originally added by ~Diablo Interceptor on Dec. 10 and modified since) so they are not edit-warring. I think this can be resolved by adding a commented-out note about Unintentionally Unsympathetic where the entry would be:
%% Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Cortana has been deemed to not be an example, and her actions are more appropriate for Broken Base, which requires a six-month wait: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194292110A03429900&page=44#comment-1081
%% For more questions, please visit the Unintentionally Unsympathetic cleanup.
I'll also let dinur7 know about this discussion.

My apologies. I'm not sure how I made that mistake on who added the original entry. Might have lost track of where I was on the page when searching for Unintentionally Unsympathetic through Cmd F

Last month the validity of a Unintentionally Unsympathetic entry on Halo's Infinite YMMV page was qustioned due to conflicting with an Author's Saving Throw entry, and it was decided it would be better off as Broken Base, pending the six months wait. It was thus removed with a clear edit reason as to why.
dinur7 who added original the entry re-added it about a week ago.
This is pretty clearly an edit war now, and the entry should be removed.
That said, I also ask if the Saving Throw entry should removed as well, since it's the other half of the Broken Base.
