YMMV - Rihanna is not blocked at all, and I can edit it...
Edited by LB7979
I can't create a page for Rihanna (it doesn't save when I hit the Save button) and it stated that the page was cut because "No YMMV for real people".
The page seems cut and locked to me as well. Not sure why it was cut. Maybe the only tropes on the page were about the person herself.

That's just weird. Can someone contact the Mod for this?
You should probably bring it up [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17
here]].
Edit: Not sure why the piped link markup isn't working.

I clicked on L Bs link and then 'edit page', got the editing box. So, dunno what's glitching.

The edit button on the top navigation bar shows the page as locked. The edit button below the title allows me to edit, but, according to OP, edits aren't saved.

Never mind, Shatterstar is right actually, clicking the Save button doesn't work...
Never heard of a "No YMMV for real people" rule; searching that phrase on this page only shows that Rihanna's and a few other real people's YMMV pages contain that phrase, but there's not an Administriva page about it.
On the other hand, there are many real people who do have a YMMV page (e.g. Michael Jackson); if this is a rule, most Tropers probably aren't aware of it. Moderators, could you clear this up?
That was cut years ago. Unlocked it.

I'm sorry, what? YMMV for real people has always been forbidden. YMMV for creators is only allowed when there isn't already a place to list YMMV examples for their work. The reason we allow it for Music articles is that they are actually work articles, but the same rules apply: no troping the people.

Uh... Shatterstar created it and added several items, including stuff about her personal life.
I would edit them out but should we just burn the page to the ground again? I'm getting the impression it may be difficult to keep the personal stuff off.

I've deleted the tropes about her relationships.

Shatterstar, if you're still reading this thread, you need to spend some time in the Get Help With English Here thread in the Wiki Talk forum. The entries that were about her work rather than her personal life all had seriously poor grammar.
...Shatterstar put Fan-Preferred Couple back in. Pretty sure it's still verboten no matter how you rephrase it.
Reverted. Using Fan-Preferred Couple for real-life people would indeed count as troping real people.
Why is the YMMV page for Rihanna is blocked from being created? She's a creator and the YMMV is created to discuss her work?
