I... don't see anything wrong with that page. Except the Despair Event Horizon example, which was deleted.

I see only one misplaced entry on that page. Prolly best to move misplaced entries and message people who keep misplacing them.

I thought anything was fair game with YMMV as long nothing was being removed without discussion?

As long as it's about an audience reaction, I think it is fair to put a trope on a YMMV subpage, even if it isn't officially a trope with the YMMV tag.

Same ways a YMMV or Trivia trope can be on the main page with "[[invoked]]" if it's happening in-universe.

If a trope is categorized as objective, it belongs in the main article, not the YMMV subpage. If people can't agree on a factual trope, then one of two situations pertains: either they don't understand the trope, or the trope is actually subjective and should be reviewed in the appropriate thread.
