1. "We have other pages" doesn't mean Game Grumps and OneyPlays don't have the same issues with Real Life Troping. It's just we haven't really got someone to clean them up.

2. We indeed don't trope real people. We can trope the creative content they're making while producing web videos, but not them as humans. Pages get cut because they don't count as shows that use creative effort, not because they feature non-characters.

3. Fan reception is irrelevant here, only if what the channel is doing counts as a narrative.

That being said I don't have a copy of The Common Man Show page, so I can't validate if the cut was warranted or not, I don't see it being discussed beforehand where it should have been either.

Okay, fair enough.
