To-do list:
- Since Turtle Power is now a redirect to Index in a Half Shell, move any examples that fit other tropes on the latter, and remove any examples that are simply about turtles existing.
Original post
Per the laconic of Turtle Power, the trope is "Turtles are awesome." Which is to say, it's not a trope. However, I performed a wick check to determine what reasons this trope was being used for. For 50 wicks, I got 53 examples. The results are summarized as follows:
- Character is turtle-inspired creature: 19/53 or 35.8%
- Character is a turtle: 7/53 or 13.2%
- Character is a magical turtle: 3/53 or 5.7%
- Character has turtle-inspired powers: 2/53 or 3.8%
- Turtle-inspired mech: 2/53 or 3.8%
- Pet turtle: 2/53 or 3.8%
- Turtles are part of the work: 5/53 or 9.4%
- Ancient turtle species appears: 3/53 or 5.7%
- Other: 4/53 or 7.5%
- ZCE/LCE: 6/53 or 11.3%
What to do? "Characters whose designs are inspired by turtles" comprises the biggest chunk of wicks. Is that trope-worthy? Regardless, this trope with its current definition is chairs and should either be overhauled or cut.

Crown Description:
Turtle Power has been treated as "turtles exist". It was also noted that Index In A Half Shell may be redundant with Shell Tropes. What action(s) should be taken?

I handled that wick.
Nice work. Locking as resolved.
