One of them, Anvilicious, was talking in first-person, so that's a good delete. The rest look like deleting YMMV.

Should I PM him here?

Uh, no, they can't do that.

YMMV examples are about opinions and reactions. The only reason to remove the examples completely is if the trope is misused or the cited events did not happen as stated.

Put the examples back and message them. You can cite not only YMMV policy, but also TV Tropes being descriptive, not prescriptive; we describe how things are, not how things should be.

Edit: ninja'd because I scritched the cat. :P

Sent an issue notifier. Seems like someone who doesn't understand how YMMV pages work yet.

I put the rest of the examples back.

Edited to clarify it was a statement not a command.
