Unfortunate Implications requires a citation, that one has none had has conversation in the main page. Burn it all.

I wasn't sure- for some reason I thought that citations were only required under the main Unfortunate Implications page- I wasn't sure if YMMV entries also required them.

But yeah, this particular entry is a mess.

UI only needs citations on the main UI page, not a work's YMMV page.

That said, that's got to be some of the worst natter I've seen in years. Kill all the subullets with all the fire.

I wasn't sure what counted as a subbullet and what should stay- I moved the whole thing to Discussion. Not sure if that was the right way to go.

That page has a rather serious case of "this troper" as well - although that, at least, all seems to be traceable to a single editor (whose self-referencing entries are not limited to YMMV.Downton Abbey). I've scrubbed the relevant entries and sent the editor in question a PM.

Moving a contested or problematic entry to discussion is always a good way to go. It keeps the entry available and allows discussion from those familiar with the subject. I particularly like it for entries where the main examples says 'X', and there's a replying sub-bullet (bad in itself) arguing that it doesn't qualify because 'Y', and I'm not familiar with the work.
