Should this be a trope? Logical Extreme.

I came across this while working on a Playing With page for a trope. On the template PlayingWith.Trope Name there was a transformation listed (I removed it for not being part of the standardized template) called Logical Extreme, which it turns out was added apparently without consent two weeks ago.

Looking at Logical Extreme it appears that it was added in 2010 without passing through YKTTW, and it seems like The Same But More to Exaggerated Trope, being a Trope Trope that is basically defined as "the absolute furthest the trope could possibly be exaggerated."

I really think that something needs to be decided about this - whether it should be cut, allowed, made an official part of the Playing With template, etc. I put something up on Ask The Tropers but it hasn't gotten much in the way of response and this forum seems the better place for it anyway.

Well, since apparently no one on TV Tropes has any opinion on this I'll go ahead and exercise my own judgment and send it to the Cutlist.

I already recommended doing so in Ask The Tropers. So go ahead.

I don't think the page works as being beyond Exaggerated Trope but not a Deconstructed Trope. I do think this kind of discussion would be best in YKTTW Crash Rescue - Fixing prematurely launched YKTTWs and pages:.

I'd say it's probably better to deal with it in TRS. It's an existing and old page, which should not be cut without more than a token discussion.

I agree with this being TRS business.

Well, I already cutlisted it, so... is there any way to undo that?

[up] No. You'll have to wait for a mod to cut the page or decline it.

You can ask for a wait on the Cut List.

Does it really matter? It's old, but it's not at all well-established.

Looks like the mods denied the cut request.

Well, then I guess a TRS thread is needed after all.
