While I don't have quite the antipathy towards Real Life sections that Fast Eddie has, in this particular case I think it's starting to get excessive.

Personally, I'm tempted to just nuke the section entirely, but that seems a bit arbitrary to do on my own, without running it past the hive mind (so to speak) here in TRS.

So, is it salvagable, or should the entire section get cured of Heresy?

Nuke it every company can make bad business decisions... its a fact of life.

All of them are technically Troper Tales and the trope even says

Please direct all Troper Tales examples to a separate entry in Troper Tales, instead of posting them to the main page.

If the Real Life section is longer than the rest of the page it's time to nuke.

Wasn't longer than it, but it was about a third of the total length.

In any case, unless there's some further problem, I think this thread can be closed.

How is the 2nd entry an example?

If they belong under Troper Tales, should they be moved into the Troper Tales page for the trope rather than nuked entirely?

I always thought Troper Tales were specifically reserved for Real Life examples that are also first-hand accounts from other tropers, rather than just any real-life example.

^That's exactly what Troper Tales are supposed to be: "This happened to me" or ".. to a friend of mine". Not "Anything Real Life that got removed from the main page."

Given there's been a few days since the last post, I don't see why this thread can't be locked now.

Mostly because I want to get rid of the TRS banner on "my" trope page. tongue

(Yes, I know there's no ownership once it's posted, as a wiki entry, but I still think of it and the other pages that I've started as my babies, in a metaphorical sense.)
