Seal Tropes, you can see it's still live. As for "nuked" message, it's known at Query Bugs.

After lengthy discussion
, it was agreed that launching new indexes that catalogue works about specific topics is not allowed until discussion about whether the currently existing ones are actually necessary. That decision was made in... August 2022 and any further discussion has stalled out.
So I created an index back in 2022 (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=wnveei9eeagpm1ev76221x3j)
that was an index for tropes about pinnipeds (and there's quite a number of them). Now, I've been off of tv tropes for almost 2 years and I looked at all of my old projects when I returned yesterday. I checked back at this TLP, but for some reason, it was nuked, even though it said it was launching on 2/28/23, also with no comment or reason indicating why it was discarded.
Was there a policy change on indices or specifically animal indices that occurred during my absence? I do remember there being a lot of animal indices in TLP around the time I left, as well as just lots of discarded indices in general (one of which I recall being an index on asexuality, which IIRC had quite a number of tropes).
