So does Tales Of A Reset Mind. 3 years later and untouched...
Musician/Composer
This was found on WesternAnimation.The Lion King II Simbas Pride:
- Rocky Roll Call: This exchange:
Simba: Zira...Zira: Simba...[both growl and roar when Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, and three other lionesses hop on the scene]Zira: Nala...Nala: Zira...Timon: [gesturing to himself then Pumbaa] Timon...Pumbaa... Great, now that we all know each other... get out of our Pride Lands!
I think it's a ZCE and we may need to rewrite this.

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.
Discarded and Feeling Blue
I mean, if the entire trope is the dialogue, then...what's there to add context to?
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
How about "This exchange when Sinba and Zira summoned their respective allies"?
(Haven't seen the movie for over 10 years, can't elaborate more on the context)
I'd like to remind people that there are a lot of these on Wham Line. No, the dialogue itself isn't enough context. We need to know what the dialogue refers to.
For a Golden Age-comic (ahem) the character page sure suffers from a TON of these, including the usual "Folder has a single pic of the character, but no tropes listed" problem
None of the tropes in Kindness From Strangers have much context:
- Author Appeal
- Author Avatar: Audrey, and likely several more.
- Double Standards: Note the theme "Equality".
- Men Are Uncultured: Note the theme "Intelligence".
- Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Note the last two themes.
Nothing has been added to the page since its creation in 2012, and the only edit since 2012 was Wick Namespace Migration. Otherwise, the page has been completely untouched since. Should we cutlist it?
I would say so. Also, Double Standard is an index.
"Listen up, Marina, because this is SUPER important. Whatever you do, don't eat th“ “DON'T EAT WHAT?! Your text box ran out of space!”
The Onion has a lot of examples that are just links to articles with the name of the article.

send that to the shredder.
Snowfall, another webcomic page that's loaded with these
Is In The Land Of Nod worth saving? I just commented out all but one example for being zces, and there were only four to begin with. On top of that, the page hadn't been edited in four years (the only other time being when it was created), and it's not indexed.

No it's not, euthanize it.
Found another webcomic page for The Ill. Only 4 tropes, all which are borderline ZCE which states "Trope exists in this work" but doesn't elaborate how the trope is applied. Gonna eliminate this one as well if nobody minds
How sweet it is
Go for it.
The Bear Show. I don't know if there are three entries that have context, but most of what's on the page has no context.
...oh great, there's a trope page for some toy show made by an eleven year old kid. Just greeeeeeeaaaat... I know there's no such thing as Notability, but come on!
All jokes aside though, the character page is in a similarly deplorable state
- Quote an example: "Fat Bastard: This is obvious..." really?

Nintendo Fanatic Extraordinaire
The character page was edited almost entirely by the page's creator, untouched since 2016 (apart from Wick Namespace Migration, which is done to just about every page at some point), the last time they were active.
Can someone please help me comment out the zces on The Onion? It's a long page.
Avatar — no, not the alien cat movie or the airbending cartoon. But the old-ass video game from the late 70s.
Is it even worth saving, though? The page have not seen updates for a year.
I was commenting out low context examples on Worldbuilding and I'm starting to think the page has a big problem with low/zero context examples.
I've done a lot of edits to Survivor character pages in the past few months to reduce zero-context examples, but they still need a lot filling in. If there are any other Survivor fans on here, please check it out.

I've added a couple of examples from the help files of one of the online versions, putting Avatar over the 3-example minimum for keeping.

More work for anime fans!....
... anyone a fan of Princess Resurrection want to fix this mess?
This one for The Cartel is a major headache; there's around a hundred tropes in the list, and at least 80 ZCE. Not hyperbole
Shikihime Garden has a bunch of weeds in the form of ZCE's.
