Names The Same has been discussed many times. It's on Tropes Needing TRS for a reason; we definitely need more than just a normal cleanup.

I checked that page and it's not on there. Or at least it didn't come up when I did a Ctrl+F search.

Edit: I see it actually is, I must've missed the apostrophe.

I suggest folderizing the query because it's quite large in the view. The problems with Names The Same are already known and can be discussed at Trope Talk or Trope Repair Shop.

This feels like the same problem as One-Mario Limit, which established some limits as a result (and became JFF).

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

It's also the same problem Hey, It's That Guy had. That was a useful bit of trivia when it came to quality character actors like William Fichtner or Donald Sumpter, but people who don't understand how it's supposed to work just shoved everything in there regardless of whether it fit the spirit of the trope.
