Christ on a bike...he's done that on almost every Creator-attached YMMV page.

He's saying Creator pages cannot have YMMV. That's the note he has.

I will say, the discussion and mod comment ruling out Creator page YMM Vs is 5 years old. So your call.

My understanding is that creators can have YMMV pages as long as they don't consist of troping actual people. Even if GodEmperor's interpretation is correct, he's doing it wrong.

^ I'm currently reverting the page blankings. I might end up cut listing them later, however, God Emperor needs to know that pages cannot be unilaterally deleted.

Even if the YMMV pages trope the creator and not the works, you don't blank pages here ever. You can cut them, turn them into redirects, but not blank them.

Subpages are an exception to that rule.

@crazysamaritan: if there's a valid reason to blank a page, why not just send it to the cutlist?

It is no longer the exception to the rule.
