Not Thriving: Tri County Area

Note: Taking this thread to TRS was proposed by RamenChef, but there was no pre-written OP, so I wrote this myself. I'd appreciate if they could provide feedback.

Tri-County Area is not thriving at 14 wicks, two of which are redirects, two of which are maintenance-based Administrivia pages, and only two of which are for work pages.

I don't know what RamenChef had planned, but I'd rather cut because while there are more on-page examples than wicks, the ones that aren't ZCEs basically say "tri-county areas and tri-state areas exist" and nothing else.

Paging ~RamenChef to the thread.

agree with a cut. I don't think is tropeworthy and the few wicks means it won't be missed.

Sounds good to me.

Cut

Snip Snip Snip!

Cut.

Snippity doo dah.

Cut!

Cut. Always wondered what the point of this trope was?

Cut and Yard. I think the idea of a town/city on top of a border is valid, but should be expanded to cover other countries. Maybe as a contrast to Checkpoint Charlie?

Cut. I can see the conflict involving Jurisdiction Friction or overall tension in a border region being tropeworthy, but all the examples are just 'Tri-County Area' exists.

Get the scissors.

Cut.

Sorry about not including an OP in the queue. Here's what I had drafted for it:

This trope feels like textbook People Sit on Chairs. Phineas and Ferb is the only example I can think of where the words "tri-state area" have any meaning at all, and that meaning is already covered by a different trope—Take Over the City.

With only 14 wicks, a wick check isn't necessary, but I did skim through them and found no actual examples in the wicks. Most of the on-page examples I checked were either "a work is set in a tri-county" or "someone said 'tri-state area'".

There might be a useful note in here somewhere, but right now I'm leaning more towards cutting.

"Cut" vote from me.

The description mentions it's a "larger Everytown, America", so perhaps a redirect to there can be done if cutting is a problem (11902 inbounds).

11,900 inbounds(!?)

I guess a redirect to Everytown, America is better.

Maybe a redirect is better then. to that

Sure, redirect.

Redirect.

Let me make a tally from each of the three counties that make up the Tri-County Area:

County A voted in favour of Redirect.

County B voted in favour of Redirect.

County C voted in favour of Cut.

Since two of the three counties voted for Redirect, Redirect it is.

Wow, how did it get 11k?! Sure, redirect.
