You are absolutely correct to nuke the Ho Yay examples.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
I know Ho Yay is very subjective and YMMV, but I also know TV Tropes does not trope real people. The writer of the Ho Yay entry for Journey is basing it on Fan speculation about the private lives of two real people, not about anything inherent in any of Journey's music. The links listed are only a Tumblr discussion among fan, not any proof. I don't want to potentially get an edit war going, but would I be correct in nuking the Ho Yay entry in question?
Edit: by the same token, the main page Journey entry for Bigger Is Better in Bed. The trope doesn't have any warning against Real Life examples (and I'm not intending bowdlerization, mind), but is this wiki really a place to comment on a real person's photographed crotch size?
Edit 2: never mind about the Bigger Is Better in Bed — I noticed the trope is on the No Real Life Examples index. I'm nuking that entry, but waiting for a third-party judgement on the Ho Yay. Thanks!
edit 3: Okay, just ignore this post. I double-checked the whole NRLEP index and found Ho Yay on that, as well. My fault, mea culpa. Nuking the Journey entry in question.
