Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Creators can have YMMV subpages only for their works, not for themselves, and only if there is not already an article for the work that the example is about.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
So all those pages should be deleted?
^ As long as the entries in those YMMV pages you mention discuss about the works they create, and not about the creators themselves (or their policies), they may stay.
It strikes me as very unlikely that we'd have any examples in, say, YMMV.Pixar that are not redundant with one or more work articles. Indeed, looking at that page, most examples are about the company or its works in general, and should therefore be removed.

The phrase is "cut-listed" and please don't go about it willy nilly. Cross check with relevant work pages and screen for bad examples first for each YMMV page. This is one of the things currently only humans can do.

^ I'm aware it's called "cut-listing". I don't use it though. I wasn't aware that creator pages couldn't have YMMV's. I am pretty certain several exist though.
It's about specific terminology as used on this site -particularly since 'deleted' has also been used to mean 'wiped the page', and no one can guarantee that every troper will understand you don't mean that.
Like a lot of editing, badly done pages, and other issues, stuff happens that is outside of rules and guidelines. It can slide under the radar until someone who both knows the guidelines and cares enough to want to repair it notices and handles it. It's part of what happens with any publicly edited site.

The YMMV page for Insomniac Games was deleted a while ago. The reason being "Creators aren't allowed YMMV pages". Is that true? A lot of creator pages have YMMV's. Pixar, Naughty Dog, Nintendo, Dreamworks...
