Character Trope; pretty opaque for one unfamiliar with the trope namer: The Rainman

I had no idea what this trope was about until I clicked on the link, and since we're supposed to be getting rid of "The [character]" tropes anyway, I propose that this one gets a rename.

Edit: I accidentally put a space between The and Rainman in the title so it doesn't link to the trope properly; if someone could fix that it would be great.

A) No, we are not supposed to be hunting down and destroying all character named tropes on sight just because they are character named tropes. That isn't the rule. We are supposed to be not creating new ones.

B) We already have TRS that is addressing this. No action has been taken in awhile because no one has called the current crowner.

Oh, sorry. I didn't see a banner on the top of the trope, so I figured that nobody had mentioned it yet.

The descision was made to merge Idiot Savant and The Rainman. No consensus has been declared on what title to use.

See here.
