As long as the examples are valid, it's fine. Some works have so many examples of a given trope that the examples had to be put in a separate subpage.

GastonRabbit is right; however, looking at the page, I notice a rather more serious problem in the form of chronic grammar mistakes. Even articles by non-native English speakers need to be written in grammatically correct English, so I suggest running your edits by the "Get Help with English Here" thread in the Wiki Talk forum. (For a start, the second syllable of "example" is spelled with an A, not an E.)

Actually, hold on — looking at the entries, it seems to be a consistent character trait. In this case, there's no need to list every instance of the character being literal-minded, you can just write an encompassing description like "Being a child, Titeuf tends to take things literally", and cite one or two specific examples.

^ Yes. It should be made into one entry with few concrete instances of them being literal minded for example context.

I supposed concrete examples of them displaying this trait could go into Recap pages, if the work has them.

The work does not have a recap page. Beside two books, each one is composed of one page gags so I don't think this is the kind of comic who need recaps. I will remove some examples and keep some of the most notable ones.
