My second attempt. This trope keeps getting misused for Character as Himself. Wicks:

Droids and Robby the Robot used to have misuse until I fixed them. This trope really needs to be called Actor As Himself. Also some people seem to think it's trivia.

I don't think a rename is warranted here. However, the example list also includes considerable misuse for The Danza.

Your sample is not statistically significant. Please read How to Do a Wick Check.

For a wick check you need to examine a large amount of wicks, and need to note which wicks that you checked turn out to be correct use as well. Six wicks aren't enough. Instead, you need to give a sample size of 50 or the square root of the total number of wicks, rounded, whichever is larger.

I'll clock this one. If I don't see a good wick check by the time the clock expires, I'll close this.

Yeah, I did this when I was new. On the other hand, I didn't know about How to Do a Wick Check, so thank you. I'll try and do a larger one soon, if I have time.

Since a sizable wick check never came, closing.
