It should be deleted, because while portrayals in works are fine, zero context examples aren't.

Whoops, you're right. Zapped.

So basically, if you see a Complete Monster entry on a page that you think shouldn't be there, check Complete Monster - only entries that have been vetted by the community can appear on that page, so if it isn't there, then it hasn't gone through channels.

(Side note: I can't believe I just said "vetted" and "gone through channels" like it's a good thing...)

You also need to check edit requests for locked pages, because sometimes it'll be added to the YMMV page and then they'll ask for it to be added to the Complete Monster page.

Well, my understanding is you're not supposed to put it on YMMV/ until after you get it vetted b ythe community.

Presumably there's an intermediate stage between the vetting and the adding to the trope page, during which it can be added to YMMV pages.
