Subtropes of No Name Given

Why is Unnamed Parent listed as a subtrope of No Name Given while Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" is not? Both Unnamed Parent and Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" are about using descriptions of what a character is instead of using names.

As an aside I would prefer to count Unnamed Parent as a subtrope of Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" but I'm unsure if the definition of Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" fits.

Unnamed Parent does look like a subtrope of Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep". It's a specific "job" that's so common that every person alive has two of them. Probably.

The answer to "why" in this kind of situation is probably "no one noticed it before you". If I were you, I'd just make the change with a reasonable edit reason and if there's some pre-existing decision made on the subject that'll come up naturally.

Doesn't Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" also cover cases where we/the characters know the name but they still keep calling him Barkeep?

i.e Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" isn't strictly about not knowing the real name, it's about not using the real name.
