Nothing-but-quote as context is kinda unsatisfactory, but those aren't too lengthy and the tropes can be identified.

Check for crosswicks. There are good ones.

per Zero-Context Examples, examples that are just quotes are actually a form of ZCE, so technically speaking that page only has 1 full context example on it right now and is a stub. If you can re-write those as proper examples then the page can be salvaged, but otherwise it is currently a stub

I've just been through that page's Related page and crosswicked any trope entries for this work that have good context. I also rewrote a couple of the entries already on the page so that they didn't rely on quotes for context. This means the page now has seven properly contextualised examples and is no longer a stub.
