* {{GASP}}: This has a soft-split between straight and played with examples. There are too few examples in each section and folder to justify this.

Once that is finished, we will re-check usage.

to:

* TheExecutioner: 7-way soft split. Many look like "Executioner Meets X." Parts of the page might be better as UsefulNotes. Tropeworthyness has been debated since before the launch, not sure if there are viable subtropes here.
* CurseCutShort: Seven sub-pages, some of which might actually be different tropes.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent, whose example section is not soft-split but contains lots of category labels, seems like a good candidate for hard-splitting into separate tropes. I think some of them need not be limited to national leaders; for instance, "President Playboy" could accumulate more examples if it were something like Playboy Politician. See [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1370868121047376200 previous TRS]] on the subject.

* TeacherStudentRomance: HotForTeacher and HotForStudent are on-page hardsplit, and the wicks for the page show that they are being used correctly. In absence of major narrative differences in how these variants are handled, splitting out separate pages seems not to be indicated. Some cleanup of OPE might be necessary.

to:

* ICantReachIt: Separate folders for various companies.
* RaceLift: Example sub-pages for various flavors. This split seems to have existed back in the mists of time, with no justification other than "For the sake of organization". Not clear if these distinctions have a use, and they have prompted discussions on how to categorize certain examples in the past.
* HostileHitchhiker: On-page hard-split with the {{Inversion}} of the person doing the pickup being the dangerous one. Needs a sponsor to run the second definition through TLP to see if it stands on it's own.



* QuestionableConsent: Type A/Type B subsplit, maybe a distinction without a difference, but Type B may be a poorly phrased "YMMV" or audience reaction.
** Discussing whether an audience's opinion of an incident should be treated separately from the narrative's treatment of said incident

* BigEater: Category subpages have been split into thin/fat/average characters, for no discernible reason.
* BlackComedyRape: Split by gender and/or species affiliation of each end of the assault. May also need a general clean, as not all examples seem to be played for comedy.
* TheTonsillitisEpisode: Soft-split between removal of tonsils (Sort of a forgotten trope, as this operation is now uncommon) and removal of wisdom teeth. Perhaps needs a rename?

* {{Fainting}} Started as a 9-way soft split that drew lines between "Monster Faint" and "Girly Man Faint" for example. We're not sure it's really a trope, though a couple of subsets are obviously tropable concepts. Other bits may simply be indicators for something else. Will re-evaluate as we go.
