This thread is for combing through the sandbox namespace
and cutting pages that are no longer serving a purpose. Some criteria on what we will and will not cut:
- Okay to cut:
- Sandboxes for abandoned and/or completed projects
- Personal sandboxes only if the troper is confirmed gone, or if they otherwise consent to a cut
- Not okay to cut:
- Sandboxes for ongoing projects (page drafts, project threads, pantheon work)
- Personal sandboxes currently in-use, or belonging to tropers who don't consent to a cut
Why do this? Well, mostly to clear up space on the wiki and clear out some unnecessary bloat, as well as to clear up sandbox titles or create pages out of long-in-stasis drafts.

I decided to take a look at the namespace and found Sandbox.Lightflame. It's a personal sandbox with a draft version of Characters.Warriors The Road To Immortality; the sandbox's contents were used to create the character page back in 2015. The troper who owns the sandbox hasn't edited or posted on the forums since 2018, so I feel safe in saying they're most likely gone. Is it okay to cut this sandbox?
I don't actually have any Bumblebee icons, I just think the nickname is funny.
lmao
You have my vote to cut that sandbox.
I pray for the protection and forgiveness of the persecuted innocents.

How sweet it is
Sandbox.Reality Ensues is starting to become abandoned. Before some wick cleaning I did, the last update was in May for the description.
Asked the RE/SRO project thread and got no response.

How sweet it is
Since its creation in 2017 (when Piterpitcher moved it from some invalid namespace), all it got were minor touchups.

I think we can cut both of those, Berrenta.

Is Sandbox.Video Game Companies still in use?

Probably not right now. I think it may be cut and possibly restored later, since many of these countries don't have enough countries to need their own pages.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
That, and the fact that there's also a TLP draft for it I think. Let's try asking Primis though.

I suppose Sandbox.Cyberpunk Memes isn't needed if Memes.Cyberpunk 2077 exists.

Hello. Due to my suspension, I'm no longer allowed to edit anymore. However, I was doing a work for the Sonic the hedgehog character articles and others. My work was mostly done, and admitedly left some to be edited but forgot about them.
Please cut the following entries.
Sonic The Hedgehog Original Main Characters
Ken Penders Tropes (No longer needed, I tropefied enough about the man for the article)
Retcanon Sonic (I lost interest on this one)
The Minotaur (Don't ask, it was for that short Borges story and didn't know how to expand on it, I'm not good with pictures)
Sadala Chronicles The Time Hitman (my fanfic. Eh, please delete, I stopped caring about the article)
Edit: Originally I requested something, but this is not the place for it.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.
Sadala Chronicles should be moved to become an actual fanwork page, not nuked because you stopped caring. The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours after all.

Well, do as you wish. I thought the rule only applied to work examples and sandboxes were fair game to cutting.
The reason for cutting the article is because, well, is incomplete. I never bothered finishing it. The fic is complete, tho.

It seems complete enough to me.
Now a lurker. See you at the forums.
Well, go ahead. Please, cut the other ones since those are finished.

I can throw them on the cutlist, but does your editing suspension prevent the use of it?

I'm hesitating to cutlist Sandbox.Cyberpunk Memes since it was made by ~Berrenta after Memes.Cyberpunk 2077 has already been made. It's been almost a year, so I'd like to hear if it's not needed anymore.

Has Sandbox.Pull Into Range been abandoned? It's been nearly two years since it was last edited, and four years since it was something besides cleaning up wicks. And it seems to be a really outdated version of You Will Not Evade Me. Should it be cut?
the Retromancer
Looks like a leftover made by Arutema and Zuxtron for this TRS.
In these cases, you PM the creating troper (~immblueversion) to ask them if they still need the page.
