Bumping. This is in TLP right now, isn't it?

Yep. And it's been lauchable for a month if not longer.

Yes it is, and no it has not been. The title still needs more people weighing in.

Kay. Bumping the tlp. And do we make a title crowner here or there (or perhaps both)?

Guess it would make more sense to have the crowner here just to get more of a consensus. YKTTW crowners are notorious for attracting maybe 2 or 3 voters after several weeks and repeated bumps.

Made that crowner. Will holler to have it hooked. (I also added a link in the YKTTW draft)

Also, I'll give it three days before I swap in the rewrite on Infant Immortality Rewrite.

The new crowner's hooked and the thread title is updated.

It's been a week, so bump for votes.

It's been almost two weeks, and the votes have barely shifted with only one option in the green. Time to call this?

With only 8 votes is too little.

Downvoted A Minor Case Of Mortality, for two reasons. One, the use of the word "minor" implies a person up to 18-21 years of age, depending on the country, which is not the trope. Second, it sounds like a variation on the Black Comedy phrase "a slight case of death", which will likely just lead to an "Ambiguous Name" TRS and another rename.

How many straight uses of Infant Immortality are there? What will happen to them? If we have no other plans and there are enough examples to warrant its own trope, I say we create the trope "Improbable Infant Immortality" which should cover what this trope was meant to.

That's a topic for another TLP. What's on the table now is getting the split trope named in preparation for its launch.

Bump. Is the crowner ready to call yet? Because it certainly seems like it (the clear winner being Death of a Child, with 18 total votes and 2:60 in favour.)

Looks unanimous to me. Who do we contact to make the official call?

Pretty sure a mod has to do it. I'll holler off my last post, and then we'll see how it goes.

The new counterpart trope, Death of a Child, has been launched. Now we can begin the long and arduous process of cleaning up all the "aversion" misuse on Infant Immortality, which currently stands at +2000 wicks. Courtesy link.

Also remembered I forgot to add the description rewrite we were talking about for Infant Immortality. Went ahead and completed that.

Are we moving the cleanup to Short Term projects? Or does 2000+ wicks push it into Long Term territory?

Morgenthaler Since: Feb, 2016

Long-term projects is for problems that require almost continual work to fix. 2000 wicks is a big project, but finite. Depending on the amount of editors contributing, I'd estimate this is done in about 1-2 months max.
