Is it so bad to keep the entry on RRHR? To me, it seems logical to have an entry about the character that's on the page picture.

At worst, all it does is add a bit of redundancy so, unless we want to strictly enforce the sub-trope only rule, I'm not sure how much it's worth keeping Ruby off.

That said, it also seems like the core issue is the page image of Ruby making people think she should be on the page. It sounds like there's been discussion already but maybe Image Pickin' should take another look at this one.

In the meantime I do think a commented out note is the way to go. Comment out the Web Animation folder, since RWBY is the only example in it, and leave a commented out note that, despite the page image Ruby is not an example of Red Riding Hood Replica due to being an example of Little Red Fighting Hood.

FWIW, while it is preferable that images don't illustrate subtropes, I think there is a conceivable argument for a pull (even if it isn't replaced) if it keeps inviting misplaced examples.

I've commented out the folder as per sgamer82's suggestion, and included a link to this ATT thread.

I think the page image is only going to cause confusion for one work. If the commented-out note works, then the current image may well work out. I'd suggest testing the note before heading in the direction of trying another image picking thread or pulling the image.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

I honestly don't see a problem with Ruby being listed under the broader trope if the alternative is edit warring to keep her off. And that's not a good reason to pull an image without replacement, either.
