Overprotective Dad is specifically about fathers who object to the idea of some boy getting their hands on their daughters and threatens them with violence. Of course, this is not conveyed in the trope name, which doesn't really specify what the parent is overprotective towards their children about, and at least one index even defines it as a parent who is "overbearing and overprotective", and doesn't mention the aspect where they try to threaten/chase away their daughter's prospective love interests.

The wick check shows that, while the majority of examples are correct, about 24% of them refer to a general (over)protectiveness towards their children (e.g. not allowing them to leave the house, keeping close surveillance on them, ensuring that they don't participate in any "dangerous" activities, etc.) and makes no mention of the children's love life. Another 22% are ZCE, and 17% are unclear.

Conclusion: 1/4 misuse is not insignificant, but how we go about fixing this would depend on several questions:

• Is the "general overprotectiveness" trope keepable on its own right, or is it already covered by other tropes such as Meddling Parents, My Beloved Smother, Papa Wolf, Mama Bear, etc.? ** If it's redundant to the other tropes, we just need to move the incorrect examples to the more appropriate trope.
  • If not redundant, and the "general overprotectiveness" becomes a trope on its own, what should be done with the current definition (fathers who are hostile towards daughters' love interests)? They could either be split or kept as one page.
    • If kept as one page, the description should be modified to include the broader definition.
    • If split, which definition gets to keep the old name?
