Cut, since there are no on-page examples and all of the wicks are for indexes.
Currently sick, so less active. If a Trope Repair Shop thread needs attention, holler or ask an engineer.

Cut away.

From the title I thought this could be a supertrope for things like Driving a Desk and Driver Faces Passenger, but the page is...nothing, pretty much. Cut away.
Can we send it back TLP instead of outright cutting it?

It doesn't appear to have a linked TLP draft in the discussion page. And I'm increasingly hesitant to kick back tropes to TLP without designated sponsors.
We could, but I feel like it's going to attract a lot of Zero Context Examples.
IE:
- In Work, Blah is driving and moves his hands a lot, despite driving on a freeway.
This trope seems to just be an Acceptable Break from Reality, where people move their hands while driving to make it look like they're doing something.

It was launched without a TLP (Or YKTTW as it was known back in the day) proposal.

I mean...with pages like this, we can cut it and then someone can make a new draft for it at their leisure. TRS drafts rarely ever gather steam, so it's pretty pointless in this case to bank our entire solution on it when the page can be cut with no big loss and would have to be remade from scratch anyway.

If nothing else, we could just paste the text of the page here, link the idea on the Trope Idea Salvage Yard, and post a link to this thread there.
But yeah, this can easily be cut.

I disagree with sending this back to TLP. I think this should be cut completely, and if someone wants to try again on TLP, they might as well start from scratch. There isn't really anything to work with here if we were to send this back to TLP.

Might be a valid trope concept if limited to lampshades, but I am fine with just cutting.

Yeah, no point in sending such a stub to the TLP. TRS-drafts are hard enough to work with; stub drafts typically get bombed on sight nowadays. It'd never make it five minutes without a major, immediate re-write. With that being the case, it's best to cut and put this on the salvage yard.

Limiting it to lampshades would only work if actually had any examples.

I can think of at least one. I support a cut, I just wanted to make it clear that it's because of the state of the page, not because the concept isn't tropeworthy.

If you can think of something, I think that would be best saved for a post in a TLP draft. When I said it didn't have any examples, I was referring to examples in the sense of what's listed on the wiki (either on the trope page or in wicks) — I didn't know you were thinking of something that wasn't on the wiki.
Here's my count so far:
- Cut: 8 Votes
- TLP: 1 Vote

I just want to say that I didn't really "suggest someone take it to the TLP" more than I was just pointing out that if someone wanted to TLP it, they could just remake it from scratch at their leisure anyway.

Yeah, we’ll have to cut it either way, since it seems to have been launched without TLP.

Fair enough. Updated my post for accuracy.
Years back, using TLP (or YKTTW as it was known then) wasn't strictly required, so that isn't an automatic cut.

Adding my vote to cut.
Going to cutlist this. We've got 11 votes to cut.

Locking as done, but please remember to add a notice to the discussion page in the future.

Hollywood Steering has a decent description, but no examples. It only has 3 wicks too:
So, none of the wicks are examples either.
There are 129 inbounds, FYI.
I propose just cutting, as the page has been around for years, but hasn't gathered any Wiki Magic.
