The examples lacked context even before removal, so that further complicates the issue…

Agreed. Oddly enough, the comic doesn't appear to have been deleted.

The page would have needed work regardless, because best I can tell, all the tropes (now deleted) were ZCEs.

Both tropers who edited the page have been inactive for years (apart from one small case of Wick Namespace Migration done by a mod), so it's not like we can ask them for input. And I thought it was a TFMBYBTTPIS violation because the creator of the page (and the fic) straight up deleted the entries instead of commenting them out (as ZC Es should be).

What should we do with the page?

It looks like the comic ran for 11 pages before being abandoned in 2019. I doubt there's enough narrative there to make a proper page for it, so just cutlist?

Even if they were restored, the page still wouldn't have the required three good examples. Yeah, cutlist. This is a "not-enough-tropes" problem that happens to also be a "the fic may be yours..." problem.

Added it to the cutlist and cited this thread.
