Disagree. That same rationale could be used to cut just about any artist page as it's normal to have one page for all of an artist's art.

Whoops. Added more info. I don't think they have anything that we can give a page to, unless their OCs appear in something.

^^ It's not a page for their art, though. It's a character page, with only two characters.

Those characters presumably appear in the artwork this artist makes.

If we need to, we can format it like a normal trope list and not split it up by character.

^ I have never seen a Creator page that acts as a trope page for their collective works, especially one that doesn't even list what the works are. At most, I've seen YMMV and Moments subpages for creators that are for their works that don't have their own pages yet.

I think this should go to Darth Wiki, because the creator in question seems to be one of the main contributors to the page, and the description calls her a "fan-artist", which usually implies visual art, not written works or comics with actual characters, so I think she may just be troping her own Unpublished Works.

^ - I did a basic Google with a character name and first part of her assumed handle.

No works, just us, I think.

^^

Michelangelo Buonarroti tropes a bunch of artwork on one page.

AliceSoft tropes all the works on one page, and it's forced to be that way.

^ - Michelangelo has works we could trope, though, same with Creator.Alice Soft, or at least are the types that we would, if they weren't Adults Only.

It looks like roseprincess99 also has narrative works we can trope. https://www.deviantart.com/roseprincess99/art/DanFar-Robin-Hood-Chapter-5-786582683

It's a retelling of Robin Hood with the characters Sa'Far and Daniel. I don't know how it differs from the original Robin Hood.

^ - Oh. Hmm... Cut since the handle we have her under has no works to trope?

If someone wants to make Creator.Rose Princess 99, they can do that, but no reason to move this to that?

I have never seen a Creator page that acts as a trope page for their collective works,
I can start listing Creator pages for Authors, if you like. I've seen plenty that have extensive example lists and few-zero work pages.

"Original Characters" pages are not permitted. Unless there's a published work associated with the trope content, it doesn't go on our wiki (or at best it goes in Darth Wiki).

We are not here to serve as a scratchpad for people to gush about their imaginary characters. The sole exception is for Tropers pages, on which users can do whatever they want (well, nearly).

Just asking, why doesn't the art itself count as a published work? We do have an Art/ namespace, after all.

It does, and a series of publicly available drawings that share a character could be troped under Art/ or Creator/.

The page as-is needs to be corrected to either flesh it out as a proper creator page, or moved to Tropers or Darth Wiki. It doesn't appear to be any effort to be something other than a scratchpad, as Fighteer noted.

I'll decline it for today; if there's no revisions done by tomorrow, then it'll be cut.

Fan art is not inherently tropable unless it forms a coherent body of work that demonstrates enough tropes to be worthwhile. We don't trope art in general, and our Auto-Erotic Troping policy talks about why we don't have articles for every YT and DA creator.

I am sorry. I didn't knew it. I won't do this anymore, I swear.
