When I was still an UnknownTroper, I was miffed to see this happen. No, I wasn\\\'t the one who put the image up there--it had been there since at \\\'\\\'least\\\'\\\' October of last year. But okay, fine, Kerrah had a reason to remove it. As JustAFaceAndACaption says, a common sin of contributors is to let their FanMyopia get the best of them and put in a pic that just shows off the face of one of their favorite characters with a caption that \\\'\\\'makes a joke off of how they fit the trope in their show\\\'\\\'.

In other words, JustAFaceAndACaption is an example image with an in-joke or [[MemeticMutation meme]] that does nothing to explain why the character is worthy to be an example image to people not in the fandom.

I feel the proper thing to do, rather than being a [[TheOtherWiki Wikipedia Deletionist]], is to edit the caption so that it \\\'\\\'doesn\\\'t\\\'\\\' feature a quote from the character, but describes who the character is--especially when it involves a character who very much \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' an example of the trope.

So that\\\'s what I did. And just so people would have \\\'\\\'less\\\'\\\' of a reason to sweep the image under the rug (or so I thought), I potholed a number of other tropes to better explain what \\\'\\\'can\\\'t\\\'\\\' be said in a brief caption.

Apparently to many tropers, though, JustAFaceAndACaption means \\\"\\\'\\\'feel free to delete any example image regardless of whether or not its caption strives to explain why the image is a fitting example\\\'\\\'\\\" instead. Because this is what happened soon after:

I think some people need to \\\'\\\'\\\'read\\\'\\\'\\\' the definition of JustAFaceAndACaption again, because these are just thinly-veiled attempts to sweep an image under the rug for no good reason other than their personal dislike for that image. And I \\\'\\\'hate\\\'\\\' that.
