SupertropeOfSupertropes should generally have examples.  The few that shouldn't are weird wonky cases of which we have about five.  Not something we should have a page to explain.

NoStraightExamplesPlease is also not something we want to encourage.  Generally if a trope is written so it can't take straight examples it's written wrong.  It encourages people to write tropes the wrong way around.

I'm saying that this page itself is a bad idea.  This page is about things we don't want people to do and don't want people to actually use.  Ideally, this page will be linked a grand total of five times and be banned from the rest of the wiki.  That's not a good basis for a page.

We don't need this page.  We would be better off without it and all of it's splits.

The names are not the problem.  This page's very existence is a bad thing that will hurt the wiki.  The misuse of PSOC is people saying this when they shouldn't.  Declaring pages to be this is the very thing we're trying to stop.  This page's very existence validates something we're trying to kill.  That's not good.

Ideally, what we want to do is to retool all by the very highest level pages so that this message should never come up.  We don't want this to happen to pages.  We want to stop it from happening to pages.
