I found some descriptive information about this online. I'll cobble together a brief description and add 3-4 tropes shortly to at least keep it from the cutlist.

It also looks like the troper who created the character page has problems making good blue links for tropes. I'll see if I can fix these also.

They haven't edited it in 5 months, either. I would say this is Cut List-worthy, but if Bolt is going to add a description and tropes, I'll hold off my judgment until then.

Last edit was Oct 8 on the character page, and not since June for the main page. Also, they shouldn't have created a separate character page while the main page is completely blank. Also that character page is in awful shape, with ZCE and completely spoilered out entries. The page also isn't indexed anywhere (no one will be able to find it unless they specifically search for it) and there's a type in the title (Timeof) that makes it look bad. I'd say cut them both, explain to the troper (if they are still active) how to use a sandbox for pages under construction.

I've fixed both pages. There's at least enough to justify keeping the page now. The troper who prepared the Character page has serious grammar issues, with a major problem of capitalizing every word in sentence. I'll send them a grammar notifier.

They also have a serious problem with ZCEs. They need a notifier for this also.

Have sent notifiers to troper Drago 491 for grammar and stub Works Page creation. They badly need to use the Get Help With English thread.

Thanks also to Theriocephalus for helping out, as I made a couple mistakes while doing clean-up.

I did a final pass for cleanup and added a few appearance tropes that I could base on the images on the page. Not much, but better than nothing.

Since it seems we'll be keeping the pages for the time being, what should be done about the url?

I also want to note that they added a really NSFW image to this page (I've removed the image) which had nothing to do with the work in question.

^^ Not sure what link should be added. This is listed as for sale at Amazon and Goodreads, but couldn’t find a dedicated link to the books themselves. Should one of these be included, or something else?

Sorry, I meant the url of the Tv Tropes page itself — specifically, the fact that the "of" wasn't capitalized and that the formatting of the wiki word is thus messed up. How is that sort of issue addressed, generally?

There is a forum thread for this

Page titles or namespaces that need capitalization fixes

And this change has already been requested by another troper
