Very Spooky
Yeah, this seems like it should be cut and have its wicks moved to Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket.
back lol
Cut/move wicks ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
Sounds good on paper (he/him)

I agree.
Serving Suggestion was previously cut mainly because it was just complaining about the concept, but as I said in its thread, it overlapped with Adjacent to This Complete Breakfast.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
I'll wait for a few more votes, but this one isn't going to be difficult to handle at all.
I'd like to apologize for all this.

Cut, though something in me feels the two names hover near each other in quality.
Gentleman Troper!
Many commercial tropes are niche tropes and will have little use elsewhere. If you want to cut this because of underuse, there are plenty more of the same to be found on Basic Commercial Types.

Nobody in this thread proposed cutting any of those, and the assumption that it's a matter of time before they will is based on the Slippery Slope Fallacy. The main argument for merging is redundancy, not underuse.
Forgotten Tropes tend to not have many wicks either, but due to their nature, that's not a problem.

I think that's enough votes in favor of merging. Let's do it!
I'd like to apologize for all this.All wicks were cut, all possible on-page examples were moved, and the page is now a redirect to Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket. Anything else I should do before closing?

I'd like to apologize for all this.Three-day bump, seems like nothing is missing. Hollering to close.

Seems like we are done here, so closing.

Despite being created in 2012, Major Minor Inconvenience has only amassed 14 wicks and 19 on-page examples. This seems to be because the trope is about a certain type of informercials, most of which don't have a page on this wiki. The trope is also really similar to Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket (which already covers most of the salvageable wicks, and which thrives fine at 189 wicks).
As for the on-page examples, we've already mentioned in the wick check 3 of them, 13 are straight examples that come from infomercials (none of which have pages here, and one of which is commented out), the other 3 are in-universe parodies (one is commented out).
I propose to delete this one, and to delete the few wicks there are.
