What happened to the Dan Browned examples?

As You Know, Dan Brown was the former Trope Namer for Falsely Advertised Accuracy, which used to be called "Dan Browned". However, I distinctly recall the list of examples for "Dan Browned" being significantly larger than "Falsely Advertised Accuracy"- the former had individual pages for live-action films, literature, and live-action TV at least, each with dozens of examples, while the latter only has a dozen or so individual examples for each.

Among the examples I remember for the Literature page for "Dan Browned", I can remember: an extensive list of things Dan Brown got wrong in his novels, Dale Brown's patently ridiculous science, Tom Clancy's ghostwriters being nowhere as scientifically accurate as Clancy himself, and Stephanie Meyer consistently getting folklore wrong in the Twilight Saga novels.

Does anyone know what happened to the old "Dan Browned" example pages? Is there a way to retrieve them and add them to the Falsely Advertised Accuracy page?

Per the hidden note at Falsely Advertised Accuracy, some remaining examples can be found on a sandbox. The rest can be found in the history of Dan Browned and were deemed not examples of FAA and cannot be moved to it.

Yeah, it's weird how none of the former trope namer's examples are even listed in the new page anymore. Has the work on reviewing the examples listed in the the Sandbox stalled?
