Crown Description:
These are pages where it has been proposed to limit Real Life examples to those before a certain point in time, usually for reasons of the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment or recency bias. Please discuss tropes in the thread before adding them; entries added without discussion are subject to deletion. Proposed time limits may be over a rolling period (e.g. "no examples from the past 6 months") or a fixed point in time (e.g. "no examples after 1975"). Vote UP to agree with a proposed change; vote DOWN to disagree. If an item has a (CLOSED) on it, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided, meeting the following requirements:- They have ten or more total votes,
- have been on the crowner for at least 72 hours, measured from when the addition of the new crowner entry is announced in a thread post,
- and are stable with at least a 2:1 vote ratio.
- Acclaimed Flop (no examples until the theatrical run is finished): To prevent knee-jerk reactions. (Jan 24)
- "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny (10 years): To provide a time barrier to give a proper analysis of its cultural impact rather than just observing brief trends, and to curb its use as thinly-veiled gushing for a work. (Jan 24) (CLOSED)
- Creator Killer (10 years): In order to prevent knee jerk reactions. (Jan 24) (CLOSED)
- WTH, Casting Agency? (1 week): To prevent speculative entries made without the context of how people reacted to the performance once they saw the work. (Jan 24) (CLOSED)
- Wildfire Franchise (10 years after the franchise\\\'s start or official confirmation of its end beforehand): To make sure the franchise has come to a true stop. If the franchise is still going strong a decade after its start, then it\\\'s likely not an example. (Jan 31) (CLOSED)
- Stillborn Franchise (5 years or official confirmation): To ensure that the work will likely only have one installment. (Jan 31) (CLOSED)
- Full-Circle Revolution (50-100 years for the real life section) : In order to allow time for historians to assess revolutions accurately rather than being used for knee-jerk complaints and shoehorns about current regimes. (Jan 24)
- Never Live It Down (6 months after the moment happens): What can be seen as a major embarrassment in the moment can die down quickly after its release. We ask that you to wait and see if the character\\\'s reputation still stands in the long-run. (Jan 31) (CLOSED)
- Surprisingly Improved Sequel (6 months after the work\\\'s release): To prevent knee-jerk reactions to a sequel\\\'s release. (Jan 31) (CLOSED)
- Even Better Sequel (6 months after the work\\\'s release): To prevent knee-jerk reactions to a sequel\\\'s release. (Jan 31) (CLOSED)
