It's currently under review in The Scrappy cleanup thread, for different reasons. I'd be nice to consolidate all of the debate in one place.

It seems to be mainly a troper called kquinn0830 (although I noticed another troper trying to add a roundabout Scrappy example). I was actually debating making an Ask The Tropers entry because he (I'm pretty sure he's a he) just deleted an Ensemble Dark Horse example. Honestly it just seems like that particular troper has a hate-boner (for lack of a better term) for the character.

Edit- Maybe not the only troper with this attitude given this bizarre edit I just saw by Reddy Wizard on Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Adding an additional reply. I'm wondering whether I should PM that kquinn083, and/or if this is an issue for here, because besides the back and forth of them deleting Ensemble Dark Horse regrding Michelle, they also keep adding negative examples that are increasingly obvious issue-based editing (I forget the "technical" term for that). Like they just added an "example" under Hype Backlash:

  • In a character example, Michelle got hit with this after the character (and her actress) was featured prominently in the trailers, ads, posters, press releases, and interviews, only for her to turn out to be a gag character who had no bearing on the plot compared to other characters like Ned, Liz, and Flash.

Edit- Also replied to the poster on the Discussion page.

The edit warring and agenda editing issues definitely get reported here.

I think that entry might need a commented out note until it's resolved.
