is it(awful truth) even legitimately up for deletion as there is nothing NSFW on it?

I don't see a problem with Awful Truth that can't be fixed with good curation. And we have a volunteer to curate it. I'm downvoting it.

Question: should anything on the Crowner that is obviously not a Troper Tales page be replaced with [[cinnamon: The crowner is not the place for you to post your opinion. That's what the thread is for.]]? I'm changing one that's a rant that says KILL IT WITH FIRE on it to that.

Yah, several of the non-entries have been thumped. I think some person don't know what the reply button is and post in the crowner

I think that in order to even be on the crowner, the people who want the page cut need to come up with a legitimate reason to cut it, not "I dont like it cuz people are fishing for sympathy" Sensitivity FAIL

@ dontcallmewave - I agree. If they're just calling for attention in a non-creepy manner then it shouldn't be a factor. Stuff like that is harmless. There are bigger problems than someone just wanting sympathy on the internet.

Because people are scared that this place is becoming a "hugbox". I dunno, my entry on Awful Truth was because I was angry and needed a safe place to vent.

Is "hugbox" even a valid issue here?

We discussed that back on page 40 or so.

It's not an issue.

If its agreed that it is not an issue, than why is it even on the crowner? (not trying to be annoying, I legitimately want to know)

Because the SA people added it at the beginning of the crowner, and people are too polite to remove it.

I'd edit it, but I think that it has enough votes that it would be a bad idea if anyone besides a mod decided to blank it,

It's there, it's not a duplicate. Let it be there. If you don't think it applies, downvote it. The crowner is to test what people think.

If it was clear cut as "everything NSFW or sociopathic is out, everything else is salvageable", this crowner wouldn't exist in the first place.

And we did not agree it wasn't an issue. We discussed it on page 46, then moved on to something else.

Which wouldn't be the trope because noble does not mean nice.

I disagree that "fishing for sympathy" isn't an issue. See here for my thoughts on it, since I don't feel like re-typing all that.

It is still not as much of an issue as borderline porn, since this doesn't actually hurt the wiki

That doesn't mean it's not an issue at all, and it does hurt the wiki, even if it's not to the same extent as the squicky stuff.

Its not worth cutting whole pages over it, which,btw, does hurt the wiki.

[up] True. It may be worth some curation, but it's not entirely reason enough to cut.

[up][up][up][up] It's a well-written argument, but one that you may want to save until after the initial sweep.

Crown Description:

Don't bother to say "all of them". Name specific Troper Tales pages that should be axed. An "UP" Vote means you think it should be cut completely. A "DOWN" vote means it should be kept.

"I don't care for this page" is not a reason to cut it. "This page is unsalvagable. Kill it with fire" is.

PLEASE bullet point pro and con examples if there are more than one.
  • Cut
  • Cut
  • Keep
  • Keep

Action will be taken on Tuesday, 8 February 2011.
