Bad information: Vagineer

Okay, I must say quickly that this page is horribly misinformative, Vagineer is a fad that is a lot older than the series that is currently described in the article, and as such, I personally wouldn't say that it should be exclusive to that series, no matter how good it is, in contrast to the article about Christian Brutal Sniper, which at least focuses on the videos that were made by the creator of the character. I would say that a rewrite of the article would be a good idea, or perhaps a deletion of the article if that's not appropriate. The article as it looks right now is just describing one particular series of videos containing the character and completely ignores the actual origins of the character itself.

Opinions on what to do with it?

???

Is the Vagineer a meme that's old or a series? We're about media, not memes.

I've never come across this one before, but I think the OP's point is basically that the current description doesn't acknowledge the previous existence of the character (as a meme?). If so, then there may be a case for re-writing the description slightly to mention this, even though TVT isn't about memes as such.

More to the point, though - where's the bit listing the tropes that apply to the series?

The page hasn't been indexed either. Let me check the history.

Edit: the page was launched, fully formed, June 11th. I'd normally be inclined to cut and send it back to YKTTW for lacking examples, but this is a work. We could make a thread in Web Originals I guess.

There seems to be a few tropes strewn through the descriptions, but someone appears to be confused about what the site is for.

Wow, That is a bare page.

I say this deserves a thread on Web Orignals

Bumping because of [1].

It doesn't even have three examples, so I'm not sure why this page even exists. Like Deboss said, we're not actually about Internet memes. We're about tropes. If it's a work page, fine, but in that case it ought to have tropes.

Like I said, Slenderman is a meme too yet he gets a page bout him and the tropes that pop up instories that feature him. Vagineer appears in a shitload of Garrys Mod videos besides the one the page is about, so that's why I think the page should be rewritten.

Does this "Vagineer" have any characterisation, backstory, surrounding mythos, etc. other than "the Engineer making a stupid face"?

Yes. Tons of it, in fact. His videos either involve Surreal Horror, Surreal Humor, or a combination of both, often in a Random Events Plot. He has countless imitators, only two of which were memorable in any way.

BUMP: Sorry for the double-post, but since I am not allowed to edit pages, I need one of you guys to edit Vagineer.
