YMMV.Midnight before disambig. Is this Band YMMV stuff good?

  • Archive Panic: Only four LPs, but lots of splits, singles and EPs, which amounts to a ton of songs.
  • Narm Charm: Their image might be a bit corny, but the fans wouldn't have it any other way.
  • Signature Song: "Black Rock'n'Roll" or "Satanic Royalty".

I feel like Narm Charm doesn't say why it's Narmy or Charming.

Fanfic.Animals looks bad. Was gonna disambig. Better to cut? Gotta go figure out how to disambig individual musicians.

[up] Yeah, better to cut. There's maybe one good example, and that's barely more than zero-context.

Both Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and RRR are stub articles (the last one after I commented out the ZCE's). Please fill them out in the next few days or they'll be cut.

After commenting out all the ZCE on March March Dabrowski there are only two tropes. I tried to follow the link to find the comic as it goes to the creator's deviant art but I can't find the comic.

Unless anyone else is more successful than I this is a stub and is going to the cutlist

[up][up] Go for it. I'll lend you the Sword of Denkomaru for slicing.


Manga.Crossing 25

True to the title, the page contains 25 tropes... 22 which is ZCE and three which are borderline examples.

Does the three below seem keepable? Because if it's not, time to bring out the scissors.

^ All three of those are straight ZC Es so I think the page should be condemned.

The page existed since pre-history. While I appreciate the irony, it's not keepable. It having no wicks isn't helping.

Is this example from Multidimensional Dark Masters a partial-context example?

  • Myth Arc: This crossover chronicles the team-up of the Nijigasaki Academy Pokémon Trainer's Club and the 765 Pro DigiDestined as well as various allies who join them in their battle against the Dark Masters.

Came across Film.French Cancan, which has plenty of ZCE's. So far I only commented out the slashed ones.

Edit: Okay, it's not too bad, but the main problem's commented out.

Commented out ZCE on WebOriginal.The Minute Hour and it's down to two tropes. Was going to message the creator of the page and ask them to provide more context since it was made recently (12/2021), but they seemingly created the account just to make the page and have not made any edits since.

Unless anyone else wants fill in the gaps, it's headed to the cut list

Manga.Blue Seed needs a look. It may be able to stand, but it's also knee deep into ZCE's.

Edit: Stub notifier sent for The Minute Hour. The user has not dropped off yet.

[down] Done. Also noticed that one of the ZCE's was for another TRS effort, and since there was no context, that's axed instead.

Pretty sure it's more than standable but it needs major cleaning.

Anime.Battle Girls Time Paradox - old pages of anime made circa early-2010s seems to be a ZCE-minefield

The Kingmaker Scenario item on the page is one of those "long-winded entries that despite the length, doesn't explain a damn on how the trope is applied in the work"

Would it be alright to delete this ZCE on Estrogen Brigade?

* Testosterone Brigade example can be found in the fandom of Witchblade, a comic whose main character is a Dude Magnet who also has Les Yay moments with her Lancer.

While normally, I would comment it out, it states that it's an example for Testosterone Brigade (despite potholing it to Spear Counterpart but I'm sure you get what I mean), so it's supposed to be not on Estrogen Brigade in the first place. However, I know that you're not supposed to add pre-commented examples to pages, so moving it to Testosterone Brigade is a no-no.

[down] Removed [tup]

The example as-is is neither Estrogen Brigade or Testosterone Brigade, so out the window it goes.

Tranquility Base was mostly ZCE and is now down to 2 tropes. If anyone knows the work and can expand on the examples, please do so

Characters.Thrilling Intent

As thrilling as the amount of tropes with context

Characters.Fight For The Lost

Somehow this is even worse...

CrapsackWorld.American Dad was just made, and, of all the threads I could take it to, this one seems to be the better one. Aside from indentation issues, potential complaining, and probably not being a real example (wasn't listed or cut from the trope list), it seems like it's just one big ZCE; it lists asshole characters, but doesn't state how life in Langley Falls is terrible in a meaningful way. Cutlist?

Should be cutlisted and dewicked, but before that probably mention that in ATT and send notifiers, because NoobMaster had earlier recorded problems not limited to suspension for Word Cruft and complaining.
