Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

If he made a bunch of pages while ban evading, then they should be cutlisted on principle since they are, like most ban evasion edits, technically invalid.
I don't think he made any while ban-evading (possible exception of this one
), but the discussion is more about pages he made on his original account that frankly contribute nothing to the wiki other than being potential drama magnets (and are poorly made for a bunch of other reasons).
Banned both of them.
Stub pages and improper franchise pages can be cut. If there are legit pages they can stay, we can lock them if the troper keeps sockpuppeting.

^ That covers most of them except Creator.Majestic Blue Studios (pointless Creator/ page serving as a hub for two webcomics) and Webcomic.His 7 Valkyries (non-existent work). Thoughts on those? I lean towards cut and send to Darth Wiki, respectively.
I'll cutlist the rest of them and

If they're the only one editing those articles, then just burn them.

Not sure we need to. 'tis being a website that catalogues tropes and works which contain them, I don't see a reason for cutting merely because the troper who wrote the page is a jerk.

The thing is that the pages that are actually allowed are pretty pointless. Creator.Majestic Blue Studios for example. Why do we need a Creator/ page for that considering the author's Creator/ page essentially does the same?
The page's sole purpose is to stroke someone's ego and frankly, I'm not sure it's something that actually exists. If it does, I'm sure it's just a Youtube channel or two, and not the entertainment studio conglomerate that page paints it as. Not to mention the improper Franchise/ pages that are also largely for works that don't exist.

There's a very specific rule about Franchise pages: The work must have pages in three different media on this site. (i.e., Film, Literature, and Series) Aside from the 'don't exist anyway', the Franchise pages can be cut on that basis.

^^^ IIRC, it's to discourage other from ban evasion. If ban-evading mean everything you created will be razed regardless of quality, it would be pointless in doing so (of course, it make no different to real jerks, but it would save few who genuinely want to finish their work properly).

Not all ban evaders will be discouraged by cutting their page. And more to the point, page locking does the same without much collateral damage.

Also pointing out that there's discussion to cut some of the pages he made in the Franchise clean-up thread
if anyone wants to chime-in.
