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
for ongoing cleanup projects.
(As a sidenote, how do I request a page lock?)
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
Doesn't that page violate Real Life rule? Is it just a persona or his real life self?

^ He claims it's a persona, but the courts say it's his real self.

We... really don't need links for anything from that... thing.

Alex Jones and what's happened with Apple, Youtube, Facebook and Spotify violates ROCEJ anyway.

Do we even have an article on him? I hope not. Good riddance.
Edit: Right, linked in the OP: Alex Jones. Given that he's not (intentionally) a creator of fiction, I see no reason why we should host an article for him at all.

I was not suggesting deleting the article. I merely wanted help fixing the Dead Links as some of his videos were taken down and I wasn't sure if there were any reuploads.

We should probably cut all the examples and make this into a creator or useful notes page.
You're either troping the news show (news being real life) or the person (again, real life).
Edited by bitemytail Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.
Jesus that page has a lot of bashing. Apparently this guy is considered so vile that someone thought it was OK to make an exception to NRLEP for Moral Event Horizon.
I think that it may be best to simply not have a page about him at all if all we have to say about him is negative.
^ It's a really weird thing because, according to him, it's not a "Real Life Example" since under oath he's said "no, it's not me, it's the character I play."
Were it not for the courts said "yeah no" I'd actually be leaning towards keeping that stuff and considering it kayfabe.
Regardless, there's no reason to have any links whatsoever. So while we get this sorted out, just delete them.

I say we cut the page. The bias is inevitable, because if one his fans tried to edit the site, they'd get banned for promoting weird conspiracy nonsense.
^ Unless I'm seriously misremembering, he never made that claim. His lawyer said that in the custody trial with his ex-wife, but Jones denied it, and I don't believe he's ever made such statements, much less under oath. Edit: And doing some googling, every article confirms that it was only ever his lawyer who claimed that, never Jones.

I say cut it. Just going my the tropes its really skirting the line.
I also say cut it.
I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.
Cut.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
Cleanse it from the wiki, with chainsaw and flamethrower!
Cut, especially since it overlaps with the two (very nice) British radio hosts with the same name
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
Trying to read through the page triggers migraines. We don't need to cause more pain to fellow tropers.
(seriously, I can't make sense of half the stuff that's on there.)
We're going to cut it, but it has to be de-wicked first. Closing this since there's no point in discussing further.

Alex Jones has been recently removed from Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. I just wanted to let everyone know about this in case there are any Dead Links on that page that need fixing (I haven't read the page fully).
Edit: I can confirm that there are in fact a few dead links on that page and its subpages that should be fixed.
