I can see no reason to cutlist it if those two examples are valid. I don't think there's any requiremen for a minimum number of examples on subpages like this.

Sugar Wiki and Darth Wiki subpages have no minimum number of examples required. Any example that would go on those pages must be placed there, not the main or YMMV subpages.

So where do I go to ask people to add more examples?

Wiki Magic? Seriously, there is no minimum quantity of examples to make a valid subpage of those types.

I've always been a bit leery of the "no minimum number of examples for non-YMMV/Trivia subpages" rule myself, as it does seem to leave open the possibility of Sugar Wiki/ in particular being flooded with a plethora of one-example and two-example subpages. Still, rules (or, in this case, absence of rules) are rules (or &c.). Couldn't suggest how to expand it, though - going into the page's edit history to find its creator and sending said creator a PM requesting aid expanding the page might be an idea.

You can't compel people to write subjective entries. /shrug

There is nothing technically wrong with having, e.g., an Awesome Moments subpage with only one example. Nor is there any problem with having lots of small Sugar Wiki subpages for works. In the planned TV Tropes 2.0 redesign, we'll consolidate all of that stuff and handle it at the database level anyway.

^^ Fair enough, then. All the more reason to be eager to see the 2.0 redesign when it debuts (even if what you describe is presumably more behind the scenes).

^ And lo, the page hath been expanded. Good on yer, Elmo3000.
