I don't see why we would bother. No point encouraging a ban-evader over some irrelevant work. Not like anyone's going to read it, even if TVT is promoting it.

Regardless of the issue of whether that page "should" exist, there are issues with it as you created it now:

  • Description text directly copied from work's synopsis —> this is considered plagarism per TvTropes' rules. You (or another Troper) should write an original description text.
  • Only 2 tropes listed; minimum requirement for a work page is 3 tropes
  • Those 2 tropes listed are Zero-Context Examples; need more context
  • A text formatting error in the page quote
  • The work's name is in bold font, but work names should be in italics, not bold, per the Text-Formatting Rules

Hope you could look into these issues, otherwise I'm sorry the page as it is now would be in danger of being cutlisted for not meeting How to Create a Work's Page requirements.

Who's the ban evader? The creator of the work, or the original creator of the page?

In the case of the former, we have work pages for stuff made by ban evaders, like Ralph Hayes, Jr. and his works, for an off the cuff example. I also remember one got who keeps evading because of their work, and I think we kept the page but locked it to keep them out.

I'm assuming that means the answer is the ban evader is both creator of the work and original work page. If he evaded to create/recreate the original work page, theb yeah, it should be cut on general principle. Does the "valid edits can be remade by legitimate tropers" caveat apply here?

Targitaos' only edit so far is making this page, which makes me a bit suspicious.

Speaking of which, the book's page has also been edited by quite possibly the most blatant, not-even-trying-to-hide-it ban evader ever.

God help us all when evaders discover subtlety.
