All discussions need to occur in these threads; here we only enact finalized decisions.
Please keep in mind that moderators are likely not familiar with the work/s the video/s is/are from. As such:
- Mention the video's name.

- Videos that lack a media source go to Videos Without a Source and shouldn't be reported here. If a source has been found, feel free to submit a request for it to be added to the video.

For the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom video for The Cavalry Arrives Late ("Well, it's about time!"), please add Disney Villain Death and Never Smile at a Crocodile (the villain falls off a cliff into a river and is eaten by a crocodile), and Color-Coded Armies (the British colonial troops wear blue turbans, while the villainous Thuggee wear red ones) as secondary tropes. You could also add Red and Black and Evil All Over, since the bad guys wear clothes with that color scheme.

"Son of Stimpy" under Trauma Button might fit better under Misery Trigger since being reminded of Stinky's disappearance is not exactly traumatic for Stimpy, it just makes him ugly-cry.
Oh, I believe in yesterday
No longer active.
The recently approved Happy Birthday to You! video "The National Spamton" doesn't illustrate the trope, which is about ways in which popular media circumvented the copyright over the titular song. It is, however, illustrative of Bathos thanks to it pairing a shoddy rendition of "Happy Birthday to You" with Spamton A. Spamton's melodramatic treatment of it (behaving as if it's an actual national anthem and even tearing up at it), so it should be moved to that.
Additionally, the media source should be changed to WebVideo.Wayne Radio TV, as the clip isn't actually from Deltarune itself (the Stylistic Suck video "Spamton B. Spamton" previously had its media source changed for that reason).

The multi-trope video example "Nevadeans" in WebAnimation.Madness Combat is most likely a "no entire works" violation, as it is the entirety of the MC minisode An Experiment minus about 20 seconds.

"If you spent as much time fightin' as ye did hidin', maybe this wouldn't have happened!"
That's done.
Both "Escaping Expulsion" for Calling the Old Man Out and "Escaping Expulsion" for Through His Stomach have the KimCartoon logo in the upper left.
Rejected those.
"SV with the Birds and the Bess" on VideoExamples.Public Service Announcement is posted twice.
CSP Cleanup Thread | All that I ask for ... is diamonds and dance floors
(she/her)
^ It wasn't posted twice. The videos are different.
Macron's notes
- The video "The Prince and Snow White" for Dude Shes Like Ina Coma should have True Love's Kiss as a secondary trope, because it shows the Prince giving Snow White the "Love's First Kiss" which in turn is what breaks the sleeping death on her and she wakes up.
- The video "Welcome to Canada" under Canada Eh has the KimCartoon watermark.

The The Owl House video for Stripped to the Bone should have that trope removed from it because Hooty's flesh wasn't destroyed with only his skeleton remaining. He just took his skin off his bones like clothing and hung it out to dry.

x4: I rejected the videos because each is an entire PSA.
Done to here, but please remember to include the video title next time, as there is no guarantee that a mod will be able to recognize a particular work just by looking at the video examples list.
The Finding Nemo video under Oh, Crap! "The Tank Is Clean!" should also be under:
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! because Peach mentioned said fact nonchalantly before she fully realized what exactly she said.
- Post–Wake-Up Realization because Peach had just woken up and it took a few moments for it register with her.
The video "Magic Mirror on the Wall" under Villain Opening Scene should feature Magic Mirror as a secondary example as it shows the Evil Queen consulting her magic mirror.
The Finding Nemo video "Nemo" under Faking the Dead should also include:
- Playing Possum: Also refers to Nemo pretending to be dead and belly-up in the bag.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Refers to Nemo using his fake death to trick the dentist so he doesn't give him to Darla.
I'm Sad Frogerson.
The "Reba McEntire as Etta" video (listed for Celebrity Voice Actor) on The Land Before Time should have The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave listed as a media source.
The video "Sandy Calls Spongebob" for Reaching Between the Lines isn't an example of that trope, as Sandy doesn't send anything through the telephone, instead leaning through the screen division separating her and Spongebob to yell at him. The other two tropes on the video are used properly.
For the video "Crashed into McDonald's" for Product Placement, can you add Destroy the Product Placement as a secondary trope, since the clip ends with the characters crashing into a McDonald's truck?

The The Simpsons video example "Lie Detector" under Readings Blew Up the Scale should also be under:
- Lie Detector because Homer was connected to a lie detector.
- Epic Fail because all Homer did was say "Yes" to a simple question, and the entire thing exploded.

Every video example in Nijisanji except for "Selen's loading screen" is a Real Life Troping violation, as they are just the talents streaming video games and talking over them. "Mysta and Mika Defuse a Bomb" is additionally misuse of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes as a source, since the trope used (Who's on First?) technically doesn't occur within the game itself.
"If you spent as much time fightin' as ye did hidin', maybe this wouldn't have happened!"
Captain of USS Bajor
"Vader Strangles Krennic" on Bond One-Liner should have Psychic Strangle added as a secondary trope because it's the scene where Darth Vader chokes him a bit to put him in his place.
(5x) I just deleted the video, if that's fine with you.
In addition...
- "Frozen Reveal" for The Evil Prince should be merged with "Hans Reveal" for Bitch in Sheep's Clothing.
- "For the First Time In Forever" for Counterpoint Duet should have Descent into Darkness Song as a secondary example, as it starts with a sense of courage as Anna tries to convince Elsa to control her powers and return to Arendelle to end the Endless Winter, but as Elsa's fear starts to take over, it degenerates into an urgent and frightening tone as her powers take over, culminating in freezing Anna's heart.

There are a bunch of videos sourced to BetterThanCanon.Sword Art Online Abridged and Characters.Sword Art Online Abridged Kirito; this kind of subpage shouldn't be used as video sources so those should be removed. (We're fairly sure they're all already sourced to WebVideo.Sword Art Online Abridged. is that even the right namespace for this page...)

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
