Useful Notes articles do not get subpages.

More to the point, why is that a Useful Notes article? We aren't Wikipedia, and it has no value to tropes or explaining tropes, nor is it a fictional or documentary work, nor is it a creator, nor is it an index of related works. Kill the whole thing.

Originally Flipnote was in the Video Game namespace. However Flipnote is not a video game, but a gaming application for making animations. That was why it was sent to Useful Notes, but I'll go ahead and toss what's left on the Cut List.

EDIT - https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=UsefulNotes/FlipnoteStudio

I see this Useful Notes page has been wicked elsewhere. Is there any merit to keeping this page then, or should I dewick first and send the main page to the Cut List?

Should subpages for other Useful Notes pages be cut?

Useful Notes articles should not have tropes, other than common tropes used by media featuring that particular subject. Therefore, subpages should not exist. Any that do would have to justify themselves.

I noticed some Useful Notes have quotes and laconic pages. Are those allowed?

The main Useful Notes page for the animation app has been dewicked and all pages (Useful Notes, YMMV, and Trivia) are awaiting a decision on cutting.

EDIT - All pages have been successfully cut.
