If those are on the cut list then yes, they're being reviewed for zorching by the cutmasters. No further action is needed.

Yes, we're in the process of cutting those. That troper made sixty or so of those pages in one swoop. It's taking a bit of time to get through them all.

Is there any IP overlap between Queen-Roger and SeanDevine? The latter account is older but most of their edits are for the game pages for which all the junk pages were created; more suspicious still, they re-created one of the cut junk pages earlier today, right down to the "content" consisting solely of the number 1.

Why, yes. Yes, there is. only one and Sean is on a dynamic IP but still...

Suspended so they can explain.

As for the junk subpages, I think they're all now either on the cutlist or on the "already cut" list. I may have missed a few.

Thank you, m'dear. they've been cut.

And thank you for being the one to actually lower the axe on them. (And if jormis29 is reading this thread, thank you also for being the original person to bring these junk subpages to mod attention in the YKTTW Crash Rescue thread.)

I diodn't actually do it; one of the other mods got there first; when we've got that sort of situation, several of us tend to haunt the cutlist to burn the obviously junk pages.

Well, thanks to whoever did the actual cutting as well, then (I presume you cut the junk subpages for OFF after your exchange with Septimus in the YKTTW Crash Rescue thread).

I see a few of the junk subpages were expanded into something resembling proper subpages by other editors before jormis29 brought them to wider attention (albeit still often with far too few examples to really justify having a whole subpage instead of an entry on the games' main, YMMV, or Trivia pages), although some of those expanded pages have problems of their own with grammar and formatting (Characters.Lisa The Pointless leaps to mind).
