Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

I'm not sure what you mean by "obvious reasons".
If you mean it's too bashy or complainey, then you could take it to the Removing complaining, bashing and other negativity from the wiki thread
.
If you mean it's too controversial or flame-baitey, then take it to the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment - Violations, misuse, and other issues thread.
Is it even relevant to the example? I'd be willing to cut it outright just for being shoehorned.

I don't see the "obvious reasons", but I don't think the example fits the trope, it's just a complaint about "fandom trends".

It comes off as Flame Bait because it's suggesting that fandoms as a whole are misogynistic, and claiming this is why the character is disliked as though there's no legitimate reason for it. I brought it up on the ROCEJ thread.

I'm pretty sure that pointing out that fandoms are subject to societal issues isn't aiming the criticism at fandoms.

"fandom trends of gender-based Double Standards in fandoms" is clearly redundant. Fandom trends in fandoms? Well, duh.
We can quibble over the wording but the addition is irrelevant speculation regardless, and I can see how this comes off as agenda-based editing (though it's hard to base that off just one sample edit). Should be cut imo.
I mean.... misogyny in fandom is a loooong-standing problem and loads of female characters are despised for the simple crime of being female and (usually) "coming between" the fandom's favorite pair of pretty white boys, so....
I serve at the pleasure of President Pritchart.
Even if that is true, the example is too general and seems to accuse the fanbase of misogyny for the crime of not liking a single female character.
"Grandmaster Combat, son!"
I also dont think a generalised attack on people like that is allowed in general on a ymmv page.

^^^ Hence why I said "irrelevant" and did not comment on if it is true or not. The entry is about documenting how a lot of fans treat this specific character in fanfiction.
While what is said is true, I personally don't see how it is relevant to this specific entry as it is trying to comment on general stuff while a Die for Our Ship entry is suppose to be a specific example.

Right, exactly. Regardless of how true it is, it has nothing to do with the trope.

On the YMMV page for the Alex Rider series, Ollie19-10
added this to the Die for Our Ship entry: "Sabina-bashing is sometimes seen in fics for any pairing, though it is not limited to ship or slash fics. The hatred of this character is likely due to fandom trends of gender-based Double Standards in fandoms (not just Alex Rider) that are rooted in societal internalized misogyny." I'm thinking this should be cut for obvious reasons.
