I see a lot of Zero-Context Examples, and the game descriptions ought to be expanded too.

I'm not sure having one page for multiple unrelated work is acceptable, and many of these games are just Flash minigames that probably don't deserve a page at all.

By "probably don't deserve a page", what do you mean?

'Cause that phrase seems to run afoul of There Is No Such Thing as Notability...

Do you mean that they're so lacking in tropes that they don't even have three?


Also, added more tropes / context to Minty Fresh Adventurer.

I suppose you're right about the notability rule. I still don't think the page should exist: either a game has enough tropes and context to have a page, or it doesn't. If it does, it should be on its own page. Same goes for Other Friendship Is Magic Fan Vids.

Yeah, they can be split if they have 3+ tropes.

For those that don't, maybe bring 'em to the discussion so we can salvage them later. Besides that, the page itself could work as a reasonable Index to the actual pages.

We do have creator programs that can act like that too to some degree(like Zelda Classic).

...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.

Spltting off Minty Fresh.


The page was made to save bandwidth 7 years ago. I think we've got enough bandwidth now...
