Crown Description:

Fan Preferred Couple is too narrow and faces a misuse problem where tropers list it for official/canon couples, despite the trope being about noncanon couples that the fans like. What should be done to fix it?
   24 (Yeas:25 Nays:1) 25.00 : 1
Define "official pairing" as Official Couples, Maybe Ever Afters, or those confirmed by Word of God to have been an intended romance.
   19 (Yeas:22 Nays:3) 7.33 : 1
Rework the description so it's clear that it A. Needs an official pairing to overshadow, and B. Must be more popular by a significant margin
   14 (Yeas:16 Nays:2) 8.00 : 1
Allow characters in official pairings to have multiple entries for fanon ships more popular than the canon ship
   0 (Yeas:9 Nays:9)
Make a concrete system to tell when a pairing is more popular than the others (for example, requiring evidence that one ship is more popular than the canon pairing)
   0 (Yeas:8 Nays:8)
Broaden it to include any ship that's more popular than a canon/creator-preferred ship
   -7 (Yeas:5 Nays:12)
Rename
   -7 (Yeas:3 Nays:10)
Limit it to couples from works that have wrapped up the romance arc
   -13 (Yeas:0 Nays:13)
Do Nothing
