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.
Remove one asterisk from each example. Take the most with no asterisks, and cut.
^ I...what? I don't get that advice.

I meant delete the example that not a first bullet example.
None of them are?

No, the top one that starts with "some comedians" and ends with "this trope". That's bad example writing.
That's not an example. That's the beginning of this "list". Every comedian mentioned is part of this "list". It isn't even bulletted.
I agree that should go, but it's not part of the example list itself.

Well, I think a list featuring different comedians is general examples, which is bad.

I think the comedians can stay on the page as commented-out examples. I mean it's no different from any other ZCE. If anyone wants to add a concrete example from their sketches or routines, it's fine.
I also agree that the general description "Some comedians that rely heavily on this trope:" can be removed from the folder. (Though Playing_with_boy has expressed his view on this matter in a rather complicated way.)
^ , ^^ Right. The presence of the Recorded and Stand-Up Comedy folder means "Some comedians that rely heavily on this trope" so it's also redundant.
Alright, I'm deleting that bit and keeping the rest.

I'm mining examples from this trope that fit better on my TLP draft Girls Vs Boys Plot
. In doing so, I've noticed a lot of ZCEs that need to be cleaned up, as per usual... but then I found this section:
Some comedians that rely heavily on this trope:
I could just hide these as your normal everyday ZCE, but it just feels weird to even have at all, just a list of people who apparently make jokes about this sort of thing. For now I'm commenting it out, but I'm wondering if it should even be there. The only one that even has a little context is Loriot, which is the only one I'm not hiding as it's not a ZCE.
