Is that even a possibility? Is it being discussed?

For a trope as old/huge as Action girl, if it gets de-wicked it'll be because in part due to the multiple subtropes that work under it (like happened with Badass) and the ruling will most likely be to change any wicks to the appropriate sub trope where possible and delete them outright where not.

There was a discussion about "Action Girl" in the forum a few years ago ([1]) and the crowner was in favor of reworking it into a supertrope, and move the majority of examples to appropriate subtropes.

If that were to happen, the correct action would be to go through the character page looking at each Action Girl entry individually and changing it to the most appropriate subtrope.

Even though the Action Girl isn't to be listed when its sub-tropes are, that particular trope was restored in some of the character pages for Fairy Tail, such as Fairy Tail – Strongest Team and Fairy Tail – Sirius Team. I don't want to get into an Edit War over this, so should we possibly remove them or keep them?

If the troper doing the restoring was Zealous Elk, he's been reported and suspended in another ATT query titled "Zealous Elk..."
