1These are characters who were each deemed a CompleteMonster at one point, but were later disqualified for one reason or another based on the consensus of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16706336400A42573900 the cleanup thread]] (or [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6vic3f9h1cy5qivsenw8llok the original cleanup thread]]).

3Please note that this is ''NOT'' for characters who were brought up in the thread but were voted down, nor for characters who were unapproved to begin with and then cut. Only characters who were actually approved by the thread and later cut should go here.
4
5Also note that while participants are allowed to have these characters re-evaluated provided they're not on the Resolved Items list, the reasons for their removal must be addressed. Providing a link to their cut post is also preferred. Similarities between different versions of a character is no longer grounds for the disqualification of a candidate. If someone wants to re-propose a candidate that was disqualified for this reason, please do so on the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16738556630A78599000 proposal thread]].

15If you wish to examine any of these candidates yourself, feel free! Once you do so and verify whether a candidate counts or not, you can do one of two things:
16
17#If you believe the candidate counts, you can bring that to the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16738556630A78599000&page=1 proposal thread]] or the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16706336400A42573900&page=1 cleanup thread]], and we can either reinstate the previous writeup (provided it was accurate and non-plagiarized) or rewrite it to be accurate.
18#If you believe the candidate does ''not'' count, take them to the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16706336400A42573900&page=1 cleanup thread]] to explain your reasoning. If the thread agrees with the reasoning provided, you can remove them from this list and move them to the appropriate folder on this page (or the TV/Video Game pages) based on its media type. For the reason, rather than listing the reason they were cut, you can instead list the reason they don't count (for example, if the character is insufficiently heinous, list that as the reason rather than anything related to the proposal).
