We need to change the name of this trope to "Scooby Doo Investigation". the Hardy Boys avert this trope so many times, that their name should not be in the trope name.

If that's true, I agree, even though I'm responsible for giving this trope its name. But Scooby Doo Investigation brings to mind Shaggy Search Technique, which is about finding clues through random stumbling. Is there another possibility?

Another name possibility - Jonny Quest Adventure? In the original Jonny Quest, Jonny was hardly involved in the adventure or solving the problem at hand, despite having the show named after him.

Do we request a rename? How do we get to make it redirect to the new article?
Anyway, Jonny Quest Adventure is probably a much better name.
I also think it could use a picture from the original cartoon and a caption saying something like "Yeah, he doesn't actually do anything in the story" to get the reason for the name across.
