I will admit I have come to find a lot of humor in that we have a trope with a decent, descriptive name but it has not been launched for over a year because of semantic arguments on policy. By that I mean we aren't arguing about the policy but whether or not the name falls under it (by the way, "Edit it Out" in the policy snippet is a perfectly sound declaratory phrase, there is no implied "you" that I can see, further showing how nonsensical discussions like this can get, you can add lots of things to a phrase to make it sound like like dialogue).

I proposed the trope and gave it the name I feel is best for it. Alternatives have been offered but nothing has gained ground, in fact best I can tell from this discussion there is more support for the original name than any of the alternatives. Given the support of this  trope and accuracy of examples ''in spite'' of the naming conflict I think the best thing to do is just launch the damn thing as is, cause the committee method is not working here.
