"A very divisive case" sounds to me like fluff. I would probably consider removing it that fluff unless we have some evidence by which we can judge the popularity of the trope.

Honestly, They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot and its sibling are entirely nonfunctional as things stand, since the definitions boil down to "I disagree with this story decision". I'm pretty sure we have fix threads on the forums for both of them, but I can only find one for They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character right now.

^ I agree. They Wasted always felt like that.

I did make the short term clean up for They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character, but hardly anyone uses it.

T Wa PGP had its examples cut by TRS, but for some reason the entries on YMMV were left. I think we need to finally cut those too, but I wouldn't mind a wiki area or alternate ideas on how things could have turned out, similar to WMG. It would have the advantage over the T Wa PGP article of not implying that such alternatives would be definitely better.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.
