^ I'd say we could cutlist the page entirely and move the few contextual examples to YMMV.

^ The same problems are apparent both in the main page and YMMV. Countless entries that are nothing but weblinks or short sentences that make little to no sense by themselves. It's a mess...

Weblinks Arenot Examples. Let's just comment out everything whose context consists solelyof the weblinks and see how many remain. If it's less than three for the main page, we may have to cut.

Ah, it's like looking back in 2011. Fun times. Fun times.

At least with the links, we could try adding context.

I just commented out the zero context examples on the main trope page, and fixed a few indentation issues. There is commented-out content that needs indentation help still, but I didn't want to erase every sub-bullet that violated context rules since those could be given context and made into legitimate examples. I'm not familiar enough with the strips (and don't have the time to go read them all) to add context myself.

ETA: There might be a few contextually iffy examples that I left visible, but I don't want to get too over-zealous since I just chopped a huge swath. Someone else with fresher eyeballs can see if the remaining examples are kosher, please and thank you.
