Every time an example is added, someone else edits it out.
It's not subjective, but having examples on there leads to natter, flaming and flaming natter.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyI find that amusing. I shouldn't because it's annoying, but I find it amusing because it's become a Self-Demonstrating Article.

But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.That's the joke. I don't think people have really added examples to it.
No, there used to be examples. Lots of them, actually. I read them at least once. It got an Example Sectionectomy at some point.

Infinite Tree: an experimental storyYeah but that was a long time ago. If you check the page history you won't even see them.
It was example sectionectomied and locked because it was being used to complain about any forum that someone felt had too harsh of moderation, with a complete disregard for the definition on the page.
It is slightly more likely that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow than that the Orwellian Editor page will ever be re-opened to free addition of examples.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.I know, keep it locked, but with examples? Just like Troll
^Troll has in-work examples only.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyOn that note, how do you add more examples that actually fit the other examples on a locked page like that?

I suggest adding examples to Orwellian editor article since the trope is not subjective. I know it may be a bit controversial trope, but that's the nature of the trope itself. At least in-series examples should be allowed.
