Note: This page was cut for reason: Deemed a cut by the Self-Demonstrating cleanup thread.

There's been an effort to cut down on the amount of Self-Demonstrating pages, especially the ones that don't have a unique enough voice to pull it off.

That page was cut by the clean-up thread, so you should not remake it.

It looks like they cut the Lelouch Lamperouge one as well. That page was huge. It's a real shame.

Obligatory link to the cleanup thread.

For the record though, it doesn't matter how big a page is, how much work people put into editing the page, how popular it was, etc. It just matters how well written it is, and in the case of SD pages, that means being an entertaining and still informative read. The problem with SD character pages is that many of them don't even reach the level of being "informative" because they're not even entertaining- they're just first-person pages with a few snarky or referential jokes added into the mix, many of them not even fitting the actual voice of the character.

So yeah, if you're wondering why any SD page is or ends up cut, it's most likely because they weren't well-written and fun to read.
