Friends forevermore
Hollywood Accounting is being discussed in a separate thread. As it currently stands, it is a UN and not a trope, so it would not be part of an index of tropes.
What is the second thing that shouldn't be there?

There are actually two: Hollywood Hype Machine and Hollywood Beauty Standards. The trope that fits the concept but not the snowclone is Things Are More Effective in Hollywood.
And yes, the index should be about the concept rather than the snowclone.

The obvious remedy would be to change the description to match the index and clear out the tropes that don't fit the concept.
Hollywood Accounting should be tabled, so to speak, and the other discussion can decide what to do with it.
Personally, I'm not sure if this is worth clogging up TRS, especially since it has such a simple fix.

The majority of items on this index fall under the idea of "media does certain things wrong consistently because that's how people expect it in media". Which is what I thought it was about.
However, the index description claims to be a Search Generated Index of anything named "Hollywood X".
There's like, two items on the whole list that fit the naming scheme and not the concept. (And, weirdly, one that fits the concept but not the naming scheme.) Should we just rewrite this to be about the concept?
