No, wiki articles are not supposed to have a Virtual Soundtrack. You can delete that.

I don't know if there's a policy against these sentences (they've come up before, but I don't recall the mods saying anything), but I'm fine with deleting it per what you said regarding Awesome Music and the videos possibly being taken down.

I would also be interested to hear about a policy regarding this. There is a number of soundtrack-related trope pages with youtube links at the start of the description (like on Ironic Nursery Tune). It's our best shot at illustrating an acoustic trope until the glorious day comes when embedded videos are allowed in place of trope images.

As for non-soundtrack-related pages, I don't mind the occasional youtube recommendation. Broken links should be notices and edited out fairly quickly.

Well, there's this discussion regarding a similar note that was removed from Dark World.

I see these links from time to time and I don't think they are likely to become a Wall of Text. I don't think it's a big problem, really.
