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.
Literature.One Thousand And One Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and Literature.One Hundred And One Movies To See Before You Grow Up were cut by the same thread. I would support restoring them with tropes added.
Keet cleanup
Not being familiar with either of those, I don't think I can help with that.

Why is there no Cross Wicking? If there's actual tropes associated with this work, then you should be able to link to it from trope pages.

Very well, I did some Cross Wicking.

Erm, some of those (like Gotta Catch 'Em All) read like clear shoehorns or misunderstanding the actual tropes.

I mean, Tropes Are Flexible, but sure, I removed it.

The last version of the page has been restored to Sandbox.One Thousand And One Movies You Must See Before You Die. It needs improvement before the work page can be re-created.

Mate, Tropes Are Flexible, yes. But there's also Square Peg Round Trope.

Indeed. Feel free to help out.

I was after all the one who created the 1001 Albums, in the vein of the Time, Rolling Stone, NME, and Acclaimed Music lists (the latter of which I also created). Admittedly, I couldn't really find time to complete either of mine as of yet—the Acclaimed Music only has 600/3,000...

I don't know how much improvement is considered necessary before it can be re-created, but I've made some edits to expand the description and add a trope list.

As the original page had 0 tropes and this has 10+, I think it's good?

Thank you. May I request that YMMV.One Thousand And One Movies You Must See Before You Die be restored as well?
Ceterum censeo Morbillivirum esse eradicandum.
Literature.One Thousand And One Movies You Must See Before You Die was recently cut, the reason given being that "it's basically just a list of works without any commentary or anything otherwise tropable". There is precedent for such lists (AFIS 100 Years 100 Movies, BFI Top 100 British Films, The Criterion Collection, Empire The 500 Greatest Movies Of All Time, Time All Time 100 Movies, and Roger Ebert Great Movies List), and moreover I disagree that there is nothing tropable.
For those not familiar with 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, it is a book released annually since 2003 containing a list of 1001 movies with each entry accompanied by a short essay. It is a very popular list, both on this website and elsewhere. There is a List Challenge with over 50 000 users
, a wiki
, a subreddit
, innumerable IMDb lists, and a bunch of other places online, all dedicated to the list and watching all the movies on it. The list here on TV Tropes had over 1800 inbound links.
As for tropability, the book itself is a Door Stopper at 960 pages, the title is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, the selection of entries is subject to Cultural Translation (a certain number of entries are replaced with local entries in the translated editions), and the essays contain tropes (for instance, the essay for In the Realm of the Senses says that It's Not Porn, It's Art). There is already a YMMV.One Thousand And One Movies You Must See Before You Die page, and as noted above the book is subject to The Wiki Rule.
With all this in mind, I think the article should be restored. Being one of the people who aims to see all the films on the list, I personally found the list with links to all the films very helpful for navigation, and I suspect I'm not the only one. Adding a list of tropes pertaining to the list is not a tall order, it's just that nobody had done so.
