I don't think so, therefore I'd hide them both (at least for now).

I commented out a ton of zero-context examples on Seekers a few weeks ago. It's been a while since I read those books, so I couldn't add context to all of them from memory. Also, I commented out a few ZCEs on Dæmorphing a while ago, but someone unhid them last week.
Peeks from Under Rocks
Sent a notifier for those, and re-hid them.

I'll add context to the downplayed one.

I also commented out a ton of examples from Playing It In Reverse, but due to my unfamiliarity with Xenoblade, I couldn't add context to any of them.
Does this example from Odd And The Frost Giants look like it has enough context?:
- Morphic Resonance: Odin's missing eye is remarked upon in his eagle form.
Am I a weirdo?
It should probably mention that he's missing an eye normally (not everyone knows their Norse Mythology after all).
I'd go with something like: Odin is missing an eye. This carries over to his eagle form.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
Would it not be possible to make it spoiler-free, and write something like: "... this carries over to his other forms"? Or is that also insufficient context?

Webcomic.Chrysalis... Need to disambig to Webcomic.Chrysalis 2013 since there's the Literature-s as well, but does it have enough valid entries?

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576
Because there are multiple Literature pages, there's no need to disambig the webcomic at the moment. The Literatures are disambiged against each other, leaving the webcomic with nothing sharing its titlespace aside from the disambig page.
Looked at some pages of the webcomic and added two new examples.

How sweet it is
DarthWiki.Bride And Undertaker has plenty of ZCE's. It'll be impossible to expand on them as it's in Darth, but I'll see how much needs commenting out.

Do indices fall under the no-zero-context rule?
Science Fantasy seems to have a fair few (including one that was uncommented recently), but the example section also has a comment block stating that it is an index, although the page type is marked as a trope.
CG for short
Does this example from Afterglow (Unfaithful) have enough context to not be a ZCE?

Victor of HGS S320 | "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember."
Nope, it lacks an explanation of "heroic". What did the death supposedly accomplish?
She / Her
Yeah, it's a zero-context example of the kind that just says "this" and provides little other elaboration.
EDIT: Adjusting this.

Heroic Sacrifice and Suicide by Cop aren't even mutually exclusive.
CG for short
Alright, I marked it as a ZCE. Since it's a fanfic that's available on AO3, I'll read it when I have the free time and expand on it even though I'm not familiar with the fic's source work.

Hulk Gamma Games has only one example that is not a ZCE.
the Retromancer
That looks cutworthy. I'd remind Charline34 of this and also watch out for other pages they make, like ComicBook.Superman Vs Lobo and ComicBook.The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special (May need full investigation I feel).

I remember this Charline person!... discussed on ATT some time ago
.
She's (?) a serial stub page maker whose pages usually contain a trope list countable on one hand.
And most of them are between PCE and ZCE..Like such and such. And such. And such. And such. And such. And such note ... A bunch of them are cutlisted by various users some time ago, but there's a whole lot of stuff hidden in her 30-odd pages of edits.
IMO she's following the "Quantity over Quality" rule, thinking if she can create 300 pages, she's contributing to this website (regardless of the quality)
Also, laconic pages for stuff like these, do we seriously need those?
And some, uh, questionable forum threads for good measure
EDIT: I guess I'm late to the party, but Charline is actually a permanently suspended Ban Evader
. Explains a lot...

Found these sinkholes on Outlanders - anyone have suggestions fixing them?
- Bittersweet Ending: At the end of the manga, Kahm and Tetsuya survive all the events of the story and have children of their own but they paid a huge price for it.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: In the manga. Considering what happened it may be somewhat bittersweet.
First item can prolly be commented out.
Second can just be removed on the spot; not only is it a ZCE, but it's a violation of the All-Blue Entry rule.
Film.Nemo have half its context lost in Dreamland and nowhere to be found

Seconded. Plus, the second has a textbook Administrivia.Chained Sinkhole.
