Crown Description:

What would be the best way to fix the page?
   8 (Yeas:14 Nays:6) 2.33 : 1
Make "Symbolic Seven" (or some other name) a supertrope and split off the various types into subtropes when they gather enough examples.

Pros:
  • Different tropes for every usage.

Cons:
  • The "various types" would be only differentiated by being different Lampshade Hangings on the supertrope.
   2 (Yeas:10 Nays:8) 1.25 : 1
Rename as Symbolic Seven, keeping all examples of the number seven being used symbolically. Do not split based on the number's different associations.

Pros: Cons:
  • Might include meaningless examples of the number's usage
   -4 (Yeas:5 Nays:9)
Don't do anything, keep the Just for Fun label and the inaccurate title.

Pros:
  • If we keep it as about any appearance of the number 7, maybe it shouldn't be a real trope

Cons:
  • The appearance of number 7 is still used as a trope in certain cases
  • The current title doesn't indicate all of its content.
   -6 (Yeas:2 Nays:8)
Split it into tropes for the various attributes of 7 (lucky, divine, perfect, etc)

Cons:
  • It wouldn't leave room for a supertrope when the number is used as a generic "significant" number.
   -8 (Yeas:2 Nays:10)
Expand it to include any mention of 7

Pros:
  • Wouldn't have to find the fine line between intentional and unintentional usages.

Cons:
  • It would include unintentional, not really tropable entries, thus it would warrant keeping the Just for Fun tag.
