The cut reason is "Only one entry which isn't even YMMV". This suggests that nobody had an issue with the page itself, so under normal circumstances I'd say it's fine.

But, last I checked, there's some dispute in the websites cleanup thread over whether the Internet Archive qualifies as a tropable work in the first place. I'm not 100% on how or even if that was resolved.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

There should not be YMMV subpages for websites. They are not creative works, and what people think about them is irrelevant to tropes.

Your safest bet would be adding the example to the trope page itself instead of the work page/YMMV. It's divided into subpages, so you may need to pick the most appropriate one (Web Original works, since it's a website) and add it there. Be sure to omit the part where you state what trope is in use, though.
