It wasn't deleted,it was made into a deliberate red link due to becoming a troper Verbal Tic. It's now been renamed to The End... Or Is It? and it's listed on the Permanent Red Link Club.

"Learning without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without learning is dangerous."I always thought this was an ending trope...or at least something where the conclusion was uncertain. I just used it on the Blade comic page. The comic did not technically come to an end but at the end of the particular issue we were not sure if Blade had really killed the Worm or not. Is that the kind of pot holing that got it red linked?
Modified Ura-nage, Torture RackThat use actually seemed correct. What got Or Is It redlinked was the potholing that consisted of "I find this uncertain" rather than deliberate ambiguity as to what the true conclusion is at the end of a work.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!The problem with the original name is that it became a kind of wiki meme, much like If You Know What I Mean and the hateful I Am Not Making This Up. It needed to die and be reborn with a title that made it clear that it's a trope and not a Stock Troper Witticism.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
The link still works, so why does it show up red huh?
