I agree. I think it's okay to remove Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny from the list.
BTW, I have a suspicion it was added and shoehorned by one particular troper who kept seeing symptoms of ADHD everywhere — I removed a very similar entry from Jane Auten's Emma. (I haven't checked the editing history though.)
ETA: These discussions attached to particular articles are not used very often. I comment only because it popped up on my 'watch list' — if you want more opinions from others, it's better to ask on Ask The Tropers or better yet, Is this an example? forum thread. :-)

Removed this entry. How is Mr Rochester feminine? I think it's shoehorning.
- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: She's the Masculine Girl to Rochester's Feminine Boy, having much more moral strength, self-worth, and practicality, which are considered to be traditional masculine traits (especially during the Victorian Age).
- They are also a Red Oni, Blue Oni pair, with practical, quietly strong Jane as the Blue Oni (with occasional moments of passion) and fiery, unpredictable Mr Rochester as the Red Oni.
The second is incorrect Example Indentation.
In Helen's folder, should the entry for Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! be changed to Ambiguous Disorder (or should the latter trope be added to the description as a caveat)? While Helen's stated list of flaws maps out onto general symptoms of ADHD well enough, I'm a bit hesitant to classify it as ADHD when that diagnosis didn't enter the DSM 'til the 1960s. But then, does historical context matter for something to qualify as ADHD?
