Yeah, this looks like vandalism to me. Their edit history shows nothing beside their cuts to those pages. So, I'm incredibly suspicious and think this is just a trolling attempt.

Just sent it. I'll wait for a response to see what happened.

BTW the page has been reverted too.

The troper's username is the same as the author's username, so this could be the author lashing out against the fact the page is... less than flattering

Admittedly, the page is written in an overwhelmingly negative tone and has loads of Zero-Context Examples, which really need to be fixed. But blanking isn't the solution.

I tried my hand at fixing as much as I could, commenting out the ZCEs and removing the negative parts of the description.

Okay, now they removed everything from the page again and replaced it with "Stay out of our business!!"

I DM'd them again and told them that The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours and referred them here.

They've been suspended. Someone already got the main page; I reverted the YMMV page.
