as the trope description says, it can also be used to test the waters for the viability of a spinoff. from my reading of the description, the Poorly Disguised Pilot does not need to produce a spinoff show. and Word of God isn't mentioned as necessary in the trope description, though you may want to get a few more opinions on the matter before making the decision to cut or leave it in.
I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose meJudging from the Poorly Disguised Pilot page these entries aren't breaking the letter of the law as it were, but given that they're 110% speculation about the intent of the writers I'd say they're breaking the spirit. The first has some natter issues as well, but that's beside the point.

Poorly Disguised Pilot
Does Poorly Disguised Pilot require they produce the followup or Word of God they planned to? It seems speculative otherwise.
