I really have no idea why this page still exists. I appreciate that the examples were purged and that it's been locked, but it all just begs the question as to why it remains at all if it serves no real purpose.

If people want to know what an Ephebophile is, they can go on Wikipedia. Having a trope page with various anime quotes about leering over highschoolers is just disquieting and it contributes nothing to the site in the state it's in. It doesn't help that the tone of the article feels like it's trying a little too hard to defensively dissociate the term from pedophile, as if that makes things all better. We've gotten rid of similar stuff before on the site, I don't know how this slipped through the net.

I really don't see a cause for keeping it.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

An exampleless page still explains a trope, which Wikipedia pages don't, they have different focus. We are also not going to cut every questionable trope just because a related Wikipedia page exists.
