Please lock a cut article

Please use this thread to request locks of articles that are deleted via the Cut List. The following types of locks are generally permitted:

• Work articles created in the wrong namespace.
• Banned subpages, like Headscratchers for a trope or YMMV for a creator.
• Work articles banned under the Content Policy.

The following types of locks are generally rejected unless the page is problematic for other reasons:

• Potentially valid subpages that were cut for having no content.
• Articles cut for being stubs or for being improperly launched from YKTTW.

Note that we do not add all cut articles to the Permanent Redlink Club, only those that a user might expect to find and be surprised that they do not exist.

Good call.

I had to recreate it temporarily to lock it, but it and TroperTales.Biggus Dickus are now in the PRLC.

Just for reference: here is where I tried to bring up the issue in the rename thread. No one really seemed to want to discuss it then.

While I'm here, I wanted to note that the Troper Tales page at Humans Are Morons has been created and cut at least 4 times in about the last six months and should probably just be locked to end the stupid cycle.

And, honestly, a Troper Tales page like that is no more useful than the one at Humans Are Bastards (which is now a part of The Club)... and it just keeps getting made again and again...

EDIT: Also, the newly locked Troper Tales pages are showing up as blue links, and a Troper Tales button is visible on the main trope page because of it.

I had to recreate the article temporarily in order to lock it. The lock tool doesn't work on pages that don't exist. I also took care of Humans Are Morons.

Looks like the cut list got updated between your post and mine, anyway.

Sticky this thread?

Pink Kitty Rose keeps being recreated after being cut, despite having nothing.

Hit it with a salted nuke. That should totally be a euphemism for the Permanent Redlink Club.

I banned the troper creating Pink Kitty Rose. That seems a more sensible solution for this type of issue anyway, although I admit to having no idea if the title has any meaning outside of a deranged troll's mind. If it continues being a problem I may consider perma redlinking it.

Looks like Pink Kitty Rose is someone who does fanart and Let's Plays, according to Google.

Let's keep an eye on it. I'd rather hammer problem tropers than problem articles unless it's clear that it's drawing the attention of multiple people.

Troper Tales/Rule34 says that it has to apply to you. Kill it.

Yeah I know her. She does subtitle Let's Plays. Should I turn that into a proper article?

^Certainly. It'd be far better than what we have on her now.

Turned it into a proper article. No need to join the club now.

Can TF2 join the club? It's been cut twice for being an initialism redirect (which we do not keep). I've had to cutlist it a third time today.

TF 2 thing is done.

OK so we put Nuking The Fridge on the PRC but someone just brought Nuke The Fridge onto the Cut List with the rather good question "How did we miss this one?". I've cut it, 99.99% certain this one should be locked too.

Farkle-darkle. Can't lock an already cut page, so I have to recreate it to lock it, then cutlist it again. Annoyance.

Edit: Okay, re-cut pls.

Yeah, get that killed.

I went ahead and stuck it on the cutlist. Maybe the cutmasters didn't see this thread.

I think Award Snub should be added to the club. The examples of Award Snub were zapped because it was nothing but Complaining About Shows You Dont Like and flame wars. According to Permanent Red Link Club, somebody moved the examples to the YMMV page of Award Snub, which got zapped an added to the club. Then somebody moved them to Troper Tales and, according to the respective TRS thread, they got zapped by Fast Eddie.

I think the Troper Tales page should get the same treatment as the the YMMV page, before someone put them back again.

I'm almost positive that I did lock TroperTales.Award Snub. Hang on. Yeah, it's locked. And the troper who was adding them back is banned.

Yep, silly me, I remembered that right after I cut it. Sorry.
