If it gets reremoved, you should probably PM the troper who added it directly and say that there was a cleanup thread that deemed it not an example.

I would say put it in the edit reason but you did when you deleted it the first time and clearly they didn't see that.

I look over the cleanup and it said to cut the original entry due to being more Trailers Always Spoil (it revealed the twist, fans wrongly assumed they're be more to it and that was the complaint as opposed to set up but unused plot) and Writer Cop Out.

Should I remove the entry on the same grounds, especially since it seems edit warred over? Or is this one different enough it should be run by TWAPGP cleanup first.

Update.

1. Was mistaking about rufusluciusivan being the one who added it back, they instead added a They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character entry. Apologies about that.

2. Cutting the wasted plot entry per TWAPGP cleanup.
