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.
10 upvotes and yet no replies? How does that work?
Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!
Um, take it to the Trump and ROCEJ thread.

Since this is trivia, it does talk about real-life in relation to pieces of media.
I'd say news and columns still fall within this purview, since they are media that's consumed by the public. Anchors and journalist have roles within their works, so if they do something that leads to them losing their jobs, that's within the purview of Role-Ending Misdemeanor. Many of them hosted their own shows, so I'd say it's okay to list examples like that.
Political figures are a bit touchier examples. While there have been many politicians that have lost their careers or positions because of scandals, it's not exactly the same thing IMO. They're not working for a show or website, they're public figures of office.
Personally, I'd be okay with removing the political entries, but maybe wait for more feedback before doing so.
Aren’t these getting too much into real life? I mean even more so than the other pages since these sections don’t have anything to do with works of fiction. Not to mention the trouble that could be caused by leaving those around.
