The page has existed since 2011, but there are only 18 actual wicks. That shows it's starving per Wick. Tropes Needing TRS also has it launched after the No New Stock Phrases policy was in place, with no signs of a mod allowing an exception, and points that it has essentially no definition other than "person says 'I'm alive'". Overall, it's a clear cut.

As this "trope" has no value beyond being a stock phrase, I am good with cutting it.

Make it so it's no longer alive.

In its state, living is suffering. Put it out of its misery.

Cut it, then move it to This Index Is Not an Example, then delete the addition in wick cleanup.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

[up] Not an axample: The trope being alive.

April 1 being a week away, I can see it being funny to do and would just cost two lines in edit history, but meh I dunno...

[up][up][up]I admit that adding it to This Index Is Not an Example after finalizing the decision to cut it is finalized is amusing, but I'll pass because as you already said, we'd end up removing it right before the page is fully cut.

You may be alive now, but I must snip your thread of life immediately.

Yeah, I said that because I thought it was funny. It wasn't meant to be an actual suggestion.

Stock phrase with no narrative significance. Chop chop.

Any concepts behind this can be yarded. Otherwise, let's show this "trope" why it shouldn't tempt fate.

I brought up the idea of waiving the Three-Day Rule with the other mods in the case of Not Thriving threads with overwhelming consensus, and since this thread is for a wick-starved stock phrase and Stock Phrases Are Not Tropes, this will be the first "test subject".

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
