I agree. Read the page and seems to me to be a subtrope of So Bad, It's Good or Narm Charm for when the 'bad' part is the translation fail.
I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
The fact that all wicks in the second paragraph are to YMMV pages further raises the question of why this is considered an objective trope. I support making this YMMV.

Agree with making YMMV.
I agree it should be YMMV.
Yeah, this is definitely YMMV.

Definitely YMMV.
Anyone have any alternative idea? For now, I myself support YMMV

Is that enough votes for YMMV?

At 14:0? I dare say so.

Make it YMMV.

Make YMMV.

OK, make this YMMV. Seems like we have enough consensus.

This still isn't listed under YMMV over a month after the consensus.

I added it to the YMMV page. Now it needs the wicks to be moved over.

The amount of non-YMMV work-related wicks looks fairly small (looking at each namespace individually) and there are already several YMMV wicks, so I'll look into this after Counterpart Comparison's thread is taken care of.
Edit: 232 wicks total, including 25 existing YMMV/ namespace wicks (including the recent addition to the YMMV index) and 34 Main/ wicks (unless I miscounted); the former wicks are fine as-is, and the latter pages mainly need to be looked through for wicks in examples for non-YMMV tropes.
Edit: Taking a break before getting to the Film wicks, which are next on the list unless I missed something. The only remaining Character page wick is in-universe.
Edit: Done with Film, and the Let's Play wicks were all in-universe (which I expected, since they're English-language works that make use of Japanese works).
Edit: VideoGame/ currently has the largest amount of wicks of non-YMMV pages, though I'd imagine there are in-universe references to bad old-school translations on at least some of the pages. I'm also guessing the WebVideo/ wicks are also in-universe references to examples.

I think we're done here. The only work page wicks left should be In-Universe wicks.
Edit: Posted a notice on the Discussion page.

Okay, closing.

This trope is essentially "Blind Idiot" Translation meets Good Bad Bugs, and an "unintentional" (i.e. "audience reaction") version of Intentional Engrish for Funny.
With related tropes (such as So Bad, It's Good and Memetic Mutation, as well as the aforementioned Good Bad Bugs) being YMMV, this should likewise be classified as a YMMV trope, and therefore should not be listed on work pages.
