Bumping, because I have no answer to that question myself.

2nd and 3rd paragraph is enough for a description. The Trope Namer bit is worth keeping. "requirements", related tropes, and "characteristics" should stay too. dump everything else in Analysis.

That paragraph about House seems more like opinion masquerading as description/analysis. Should that even be there?

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

Yeah, that should just... not be anywhere.

... Christ, that description is a mess. Who did that?

Oops! Sorry, I think I accidentally used the page to write my psychology term paper, my bad...

(No I didn't. And Jebus, I'm not even sure where to start paring that monster down.)

I don't remember that paragraph about House being there before.

Also I looked back through the page history a bit and Kira1980 has been making a lot of edits to the description for Narcissist for some reason. I think starting in March at least.

I took a look at their history, in addition to entry pimping Narcissist. He/she seems to have a very heavy focus on "armchair psychology" of characters in general, so this seems to be a bit of an obsession for them.

I don't think Kira1980 is doing anything specifically wrong as such, but maybe it warrants a message to dial it back a bit?

ETA: Lemme try a PM requesting he/she prune it down.

Got a reply, Kira1980 wanted to move the extra stuff to an analysis page. That's ok, right?

Yep, should be.
