The trope is about former lovers that can't rekindle their relationship.

The current image is just a candle. I get the visual pun, but still pull.

Looks like that image was added without discussion - edit reason is only "Add pic." I say pull.

Witty witticisms are witty.

FYI, the same troper who added that image (Tarnation) seemingly went on a spree earlier this year. They also added questionable images to Scatting, Grunge, Rookie Red Ranger, ImprovisedWeapon.Real Life, Deserted Island, Suspicion Aesop, Magically Delicious (no source), Royal Mess, News Travels Fast (already threaded) and probably others. Perhaps a mod should have a word with them.

Well, imageless pages without an IP note don't require a thread. It's just recommended to go to IP first for input.

They haven't done anything suspension worthy but I'll ping ~Tropers/Tarnation to this thread so they can be aware of the issues raised about image + look at Administrivia.How To Pick A Good Image

EDIT: Oh wait, that was already done here.

Image is also unsourced and possibly a stock. Pull.

^^ Look like we have to start a bunch of IP threads to cut the bad ones.

I get the idea of a Visual Pun, but it's not like the trope is so hard to picture that it necessarily needs one, and the points raised by Adept might be overriding. Pull.

Sorry for not using TV Tropes approach. I am used to Wikipedia, which doesn't have an Image Pickin discussion requirement for unillustrated articles. In the future, I will use the Image Picker thread approach to seek approval on new images.

Locking as this is at the clocking point and has been dead since the pic was pulled.
