Somehow, this list didn't get caught in the current TRS for List Of Lists... which is probably because it only has one wick (which is for Tropes Needing TRS). It has all the same problems as those lists, as well: it's taken straight from the Paley Center for Media, hasn't been updated for five years, and is a work page in main that doesn't have a trope list. Like the other lists with this problem, this should be cut entirely, as it's blatantly plagiarized from another source.

Greatest surprise here is how quick the cut is going to be.

I've never seen a "trope" with 0 wicks before. Cut.

[down] Not counting that page :)

[up]It had a wick on Tropes Needing TRS, but I removed it since it now has an open thread.

This sort of perplexes me. Was it never indexed or wicked? Ever? Or did it get removed from those pages?

I know it's sort of pointless since it'll be cut either way. I just want the lore. There's a backstory here.

As far as I can tell using the Internet Archive, it never got wicks.

At least 13 votes in favor of cutting. Is this ready to be called?

Yes. And it's cut. So closing.
