Considering we have an Awesome.Real Life page, I'm gonna assume no.

We're not supposed to have YMMV pages for Real Life but... it seems like we do. Prolly gonna need a mod to chime in.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Moment of Awesome isn't listed on No Real Life Examples, Please!.

Are YMMV items in general forbidden from real life sections? Quickly scrolling through YMMV.Home Page, I see that Complete Monster is listed on NRLEP, implying that this is not the default.

I remember those kinds of pages got cut from other sporting events like the World Cup.

Asked the rest of the staff to be sure. Axe away.

^ On what basis? Is it "no Real Life YMMV", "no Real Life Awesome", or something narrower? (If it's one of the first two, there's a lot more to clean up.)

And this has come up repeatedly for the other Awesome/ subpages for Sports, and the staff have never been able to reach a consensus. Should those be axed as well?

I have similar concerns about almost everything in Olympic Games.

IIRC, it is discussed and the reason Real Life can has Awesome (and Heartwarming, I think) pages is mostly because it's mostly harmless.

But when it come to competitive event like sport, I find it dubious personally. For every victor's moment of awesome, there's more loser's moment of suck.

I don't really agree on this cut and have brought it up in response to Berrenta's internal query.
