I would leave it, but include a link to the page for the convenience of anyone who came to the work page looking specifically for it.

(If not this, at least leave a commented-out note in the right place, so people don't keep trying to add it back again...)

132 is the rudest number.

I would delete it since it's not really necessary. I mean, if a show has a radar page, it would show up as tab on top of the page like any other subpage. Like say for example, Pokémon

I've seen that a lot, I'm a little curious myself.

I think including a link to the page is very much preferred, since it prevents people from readding the same trope on the page.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

It is less intrusive to add a comment at the place where the trope would go in the trope list:

[double-%] Getting Crap Past the Radar has its own page. Please add any examples there rather than here.

Of course, some careless troper might miss this (especially if they aren't alphabetizing properly) but if they are that careless they'd probably miss it even if it weren't commented out.

In some cases, such as YMMV tropes and trivia, a comment is the only way to go. We can't really have trope lists full of entries such as:

since that would mess up the page completely.

That is up to one's judgment, basically. Such links can be search helps for non-intuitively named tabs.
