This is just "any trope with a placeholder in its name"' which is a Search-Generated Index. The description claims that all the tropes in the index are snowclones, but that's not remotely true. For example, A Boy and His X is on the index: this is because the "X" could be any creature, not because the title is a snowclone. A work that uses this trope doesn't have to use the "a boy and his X" snowclone.

Search Generated Index is not any index which has a specific trait; it is when it has a specific word. This index has plenty of non-"X" placeholders, so declining.
