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
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Cut it, yeah. Like, Donald Trump having a page is substantially different because he's neither a creator nor a work himself, but a person who is regularly referenced in a ton of fiction, warranting his Useful Notes page. Documenting a let's player (usually non-tropeable) is a nonstarter.
Thanks for playing Kings Quest V!Yes, we should.
(Also, Trump having a page is not a "can of worms", it's Useful Notes and not a "trope page" and he's a figure that's showing up a lot in media)
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall^ Sorry, I didn't mean that the way it sounded. I've reworded my original post, cutlisted the pages (citing this thread), and made a request for both Dark Syde Phil and The King Of Hate to be added to the PRLC, given that the former page was essentially a replacement for the latter, despite them both being about the same person.
Edited by UFOYeahI'd say cut as well, especially as a lot of the tropes on the page are troping him as a person (including calling him a Fat Slob, Ungrateful Bastard, Asshole Victim, etc) and there's even a Timeline page about his personal life, which seems... questionable.
Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.There's an Animal Motif entry that compares the guy to a pig and a cockroach and his wife to a horse. On the discussion page, the writer says they did their best to try to maintain neutrality.
????
I only go through the A's and every entry is either troping the guy, bashing him, misusing tropes, or all three.
I doubt there's anything worth saving.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.I had kept to editing it for as long as it was up even though I was the person who initially expressed issue with keeping it up at all because of how divisive he is. Even using as neutral language as possible, his behavior is entirely too controversial and his body of work is ultimately insignificant to anyone outside of people mocking him.
Keep it as PRLC. He, along with other divisive creators, really can't be discussed at all without talking about myriad controversies.

A couple of weeks ago, a page for Dark Syde Phil was created. Back when he was known as "The King of Hate", his page was locked and eventually cut for being a non-tropable creator
, and this new page doesn't seem that different from what his old page looked like. Even the discussion comments
admit how difficult it is to talk about him neutrally, and the only point they could come up with in favor of keeping the page up was that Donald Trump still has a page (despite it being a Useful Notes page, not a tropable work page, and even then, it's locked).
With this in mind, should we cut the page (since it basically has the same problems that got his previous page cut)?
