It was likely renamed, split, merged, or some such. Likely due to misuse and shoehorning.

It was deleted, but there is no cut reason and I cannot find anything.

The history shows an incredibly weak trope that had few examples. However, with no paper trail, I say this deletion is out of order.

Run it through YKTTW again to make a good trope? Maybe think of another name, since that one's a little broad and has potential for shoehorning and misuse?

Looking at the comments here, it looks like Berrenta put it back into YKTTW because of all the ZC Es

It was brought up on the Crash Rescue thread, as it was part of a launching spree.

I think there might be an error there. The deleted trope has a much longer history than just this year.

The article may have a long history but it would be hard pressed to pass our current launch requirements due to the ridiculous ratio of ZCEs.

Most examples would fit under Mugging the Monster or Pint-Sized Powerhouse. (Or both.)
