This is pretty much par for the course for articles about real people. No objections, do it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Just noticed that Trivia.Adolf Hitler pretty much duplicates what is on the main page. Is there a reason to have it or should it be cut and locked?
And what is up with Tropers.Adolf Hitler? Poor taste if you ask me.
Did you read the spoilered-out last line? "This is a joke page created for the sockpuppet theater thread, the real page about Hitler is here"
If the Trivia page duplicates the main one, then there is no reason to keep it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Including Real Life itself. (That's probably joke similar to how people put spoiler tags on examples from The Bible. Heck, it's in the Just for Fun namespace.)

Something I didn't think about: We need to have a moderator implement this because Adolf Hitler is locked and therefore can not turned into a redirect to the moved article by your average troper.

I did the first part of the move: Adolf Hitler.
A question though: Should we either relock the page after the move or leave it open with a note to leave the caption alone? (The page lock happened after Eddie took an overly caption out; it wasn't precipitated by any kind of vandalism).

(edit) um, there are some things we may want to discuss about Jewish heritage before we close this thread, though. Mainly the point that we don't have respectable geneologists who are making the claim that Adolf was Jewish, only lay people who appreciate the irony of a self-hating Jew trying to exterminate all Jews.

Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I question the utility of this or any other Useful Note article if we are going to excise the trope lists, as was done with this article. TV Tropes is not The Other Wiki and should not aspire to be.
There is still a connection to tropes. We are listing tropes that are named for him or something he did, or that are otherwise specifically related to him.
We are using listing examples of him being used as a Historical Domain Character, which is a trope.
What we aren't doing is using tropes to describe his life as if he were some sort of character in a story. Especially since most of the tropes listed were villain tropes that are already No Real Life Examples Please tropes.

I did flip the redirects around as well as adding a note to Wick Namespace Migration.
Now, only the question of a note regarding the caption remains - I do already have the new page on my watchlist.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSeptimus Heap, I'm fine with a note saying to not make any picture and caption changes without an Image Picking thread.
Edit PS
I added the following note to the page. Is this okay?

Do NOT change the page image or add an image caption to this page without making a new Image Picking thread to get approval first.

There are two main things wrong with this.
I think that all the "Adolf Hitler also provides examples of the following" tropes should be cut as being in poor taste, off mission, and being against a growing consensus that we should not treat Useful Notes about Real Life stuff and people as works of fiction.
What should be kept are the "Trope Namer for" and "Other tropes involving Hitler in some way" lists.
"The more interesting works of fiction involving Hitler" should be changed to "Works of fiction featuring Hitler as a Historical Domain Character", because the idea of "The More interesting" violates the spirit of There Is No Such Thing as Notability.
