Not Tropeworthy: Hollywood

Go To

Hollywood used to be a redirect to UsefulNotes.Hollywood note  and then somewhere along the way it became a poor disambig page (at least that was the goal according to the troper who removed the redirect). Second problem is the trope name lends itself to be used on example lists (see its current entry on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood).

Proposals:

  1. Cut
  2. Cut and create a new disambig page (via TLP or a volunteer) for tropes regarding Hollywood with a misuse-proof trope name.

Sorry for the wait, ~eroock. Opened.

I'm fine with cutting.

I think option 2 would be fine if we really need a disambig. Either way, this one should get chopped.

I think it's trying to be a broad-concept article... just kill it in its current state. Maybe make it a true disambig page after cutting it.

Cut. Tropes pertaining to Hollywood-the-location are on Indexed States of America; not sure we really need a disambig between that and UsefulNotes.Hollywood (and Hollywood Style? but it's not really related).

I think it's worth having a disambig between Series.Hollywood, UsefulNotes.Hollywood, and Hollywood Style. Current could easily be retooled into that.

Cut since we already have UsefulNotes.Hollywood in addition to the indexes mentioned above.

After thinking about it a bit more, I think turning this into a disambiguation page would work.

Oh, I forgot about Series.Hollywood — yeah, with that many links I guess it would be useful to make a disambiguation page.

This seems like an easy page to fix so I made a crowner per three-day rule.

Well, for one thing, it didn't look like a disambig page when the redirect was broken and it doesn't in its current state. It looked like an exampleless trope.

I agree with making it a disambig page for UsefulNotes.Hollywood, Series.Hollywood, Hollywood Style, and maybe History of Hollywood.

I don't think there's a need to redirect Main.Hollywood to UsefulNotes.Hollywood if we don't go with the disambiguation page option. The auto-disambig system would automatically point people to the latter if the former is cut.

That said, it probably won't be cut, since that option has a negative ratio.

Called and implemented, adjusting the text can be debated on the discussion page. Closing.
