I mean, if you can get tropes for these shows, yes. There's no reason not to.

This Is a Wiki. These shows do deserve pages of their own, but only people who have watched them can make those pages. Since you seem to be a fan of them, that makes you the best candidate for creating these pages.

As a fan of Brazilian and South American animation, you're very likely be the only one familiar with those shows.

If you think these should get own pages, see This Is a Wiki, There Is No Such Thing as Notability and How to Create a Work Page. (meaning as long as you understand the writing style you're free to make pages yourself)

I would, but that would have to require putting actual context in the examples. I don't want the front pages of these shows to be flooded with ZCEs after ZCEs. I would also need some help from some tropers who might be fans of these shows despite there obscurity, since I don't want to spend all day editing these pages by myself.

Well, you can't assume there are other fans of these shows if they have no pages yet.

At minimum, you only need three tropes with sufficient context for a page to be keepable. There's no rush, you can go one page at a time, perhaps using a Sandbox to come up with a description and enough tropes before making it for real.

And again, you're familiar with those shows, that means you're able to give proper context to the tropes.

What do you guys think of these shows and do you want them to have their own pages on This Very Wiki. Comment down below to see your answers.

??

This isn't some game show or random Reddit thread. Don't know why you're treating it like one.

There aren't any pages on these shows because no one has made them yet. If you want pages to be made for them, then the onus is on you to make them. Telling us that you can't put enough context for examples and asking up to help with that before the pages are even made is not a very good omen.

Because I'm used to using it 🤪

You can always start with Sandbox/ oages and figure out context later. If they're not in public pages you can take as much time as you need and ask for advice.

Ok 👍 (though I need someone else to set up the pages with me)

^3 things.

  • there's actually a guide that lays out how to get started making a wiki page here. But to make a Sandbox, just replace the end of the url for a typical work page (for example, the url for Wreck-It Ralph is https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph and you're going to replace everything following .php) with Sandbox/[INSERT WORK NAME HERE]. Alternatively, you could work in your personal sandbox which is at Sandbox.Toon Abby.
  • If you want to get others' opinions and feedback on the pages while you're drafting them, you can draft out the pages at the Trope Launch Pad (TLP) (if you do, ignore anyone who replies to your TLP draft with Work Pages Are a Free Launch. they are but you can use TLP to draft them). There people can comment and give constructive criticism on where the page can be improved.
  • you should really try 1 and 2 before asking for further help. people are friendly, but people also don't want to feel like you're trying to push off the work of making pages on to them. and again, as the person who knows these works, you're the best person to make sure information and examples are correct. People can't trope what they haven't seen.

I think I should start creating Sandboxes of the former two first since I know them better.

September 16th update: Already created a sandbox page for the currently red-linked sandboxes. As for Underdogs United, I've finally know who the English dub cast is, as well as the director and dubbing studio. I won't give out information until the sandbox page is made.

^ if you do want feedback, i second amathieus advice to put them in the TropeLaunchPad— its optional for work pages but is probably a better way of getting sustained attention on each page than Ask The Tropers
