Ok, per mod decision, the purpose of this thread is to scrutinize and clean up pages about web sites. Other Sites, especially, has become a catch-all for "my favorite web site that I feel like pimping."
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS:
- A Web Site Is Not A Work For Troping Purposes: A website can contain tropable content, but the site itself does not automatically have a place with us simply by existing.
- A Web Site That Is Not Tropable Can Sometimes Be Repurposed: It may have a place as a Useful Notes page, or serve as an index if it hosts a lot of works that we do trope.
- User Antics Are Not Tropable: Trolls, mod decisions, forum drama. Such are Troper Tales and sources of spiritual decay. They must be purged, even from acceptable pages.
- User Created Content Is Potentially Tropable: But most of it has its own categories already, such as Game Mod, Fan Fiction, or Journal Roleplay.
Put pages you believe should be completely cut in the crowner at the bottom. If you believe a page can be saved or migrated, make a post with details. Other Sites contains the primary targets right now, but any page about a web site should be scrutinized

Your edit to NotAlwaysRight.Tropes A To F was reverted by ~nm3youtube, who added this commented note to all of the trope pages for NAR and its sister websites:
I personally don't think this website should be treated any differently from a Reality TV show like Jersey Shore, but I don't really care that much about it; I mainly don't want to see an edit war break out.

I agree with nm3youtube. Not Always Right is still a work, so NRLEP tropes are allowed.
Lost in Space
It's a non-fiction work. NRLEP applies. We've been over this many times.

It isn't a work. The website doesn't create things. It's a host for stories about real life submitted by real people about real people.

Regarding the reality TV comparison— people in reality TV are knowingly participating, even if they don't like the editing outcome. The customers in these stories are not participants like in reality TV.

Lost in Space
It is a collection of real life anecdotes, which is the same thing for our purposes. It's not fictionalizing its content, therefore it is real life, therefore NRLEP applies.

You phrase it better!
I'll bring to real life cleanup
how the NRLEP main page phrases things since that's another topic from websites.

What about Darwin Awards, which is also a collection of real life stories?

Lost in Space
Darwin Awards is at least slightly fictionalized — some of the stories are acknowledged to be anecdotes or urban legends — and the presentation is designed to be as entertaining as possible. I've been uncomfortable for a while about troping the people and events as opposed to the storytelling and presentation, at least of the stories that are proven true. The urban legends and proven apocryphal stories can be troped as fiction.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
How about Mau Ler? He's a media reviewer and most of the tropes are his Take Thats against other reviewers and the works he criticizes. There are even some instances of YMMV tropes on the main page.
🏳️🌈🎃
Yes, that page has a lot of need of cleanup. No one has volunteered.

Tropes that are IUEO but not NRLEP are still OK on Not Always Right, like Actually Pretty Funny if someone in a story laughed at a joke told at their expense.
Keet cleanup

I've made a reply on the ATT thread thread putting my suggestions for cleanup.
Industrious Incisors
Pinkalicious And Peterrific Fanon Wiki does not seem to be the kind of creative work we would have a page for. Further red flags include a lack of links to the page from anywhere else on our wiki and the fact that all edits aside from wiki upkeep seem to come from the same troper, who credits themselves as the creator of the wiki.

Well, that was a fast response. The page and its trivia page have been doomed.

Lost in Space
Mostly it just lists trope names and characters who qualify. Slaughter it and throw it out with the offal.

I'm helping!
~Packer 135 has remade Wiki.Crappy Games Wiki under the impression it was "unfairly cut".
My opinion on the subject remains the same — "here are some bad games and why they are bad" does not constitute a tropable creative work.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Lost in Space
Re-cut, locked, and suspended that user.

Off to the Permanent Red Link Club, then! Perhaps to "Pages locked for being cut then recreated"?
Proposed entry:
- Wiki.Crappy Games Wiki: Cut for attracting complaining and drama-importing, especially for a wiki only for complaining without tropeable potential. Locked after it was recreated.

Outpost Gallifrey has only 2 tropes, and both of them are troping the site and its users.

Well, that was fast.

FYI, since the site was brought up, I started burning up NRLEP and IUEO tropes from Not Always Right.
