I see you already did it, but I agree that should go, and only tropes applyng to his fictional appearances should be counted. Honestly, I'm not even sure if the Silver Fox entry should be on his page since that trope is Too Common and only one fictional portrayal played him as such.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I could delete it too, as the good doctor doesn't have that many appearances in fiction. Anyone in favor say "aye".

^ In that case, why even have the page?

I'm voting for a flat out cut. He's not tropeworthy. He's not related to Media. He's a good person, but that doesn't make him wiki material.

You seem to really be riding this guy's dick. Having respect for him is one thing but you don't have to praise him in literally every sentence.

^ And you don't have to be rude about it. (I spoke entirely neutrally about him in my comment, BTW. And the other two just casually called him "good" or said they respect him, which was mostly just to clarify that they aren't cutlisting him out of political motivation.)

EDIT: Also I'm kind of suspect of a troper with no edits to their name coming on here just to chastise us for speaking even remotely positively about a certain political figure...

Bean, I think neither mightymewtron nor me praise the man. I didn't start the article, I'm only editing the tropes. If you feel you have to edit the description to delete the gush, go ahead, but I won't do that.

And I was just trying to clarify that being a decent person doesn't make someone a tropeworthy person.

Frankly, I concur with Sky Cat. Why are we doing all these minor Useful Notes pages and how do people imagine maintaining them? Wikipedia already exists to discuss Real Life subjects.

I agree with cutting the page. He doesn't have enoug appearances in media.

Cut. No relevance to media.

Cut the page due to lack of appearances/references in media. Maybe it can be recreated if a substantial amount of media reference him, but for now chainsaw the page.

I've cutlisted the page and its Laconic/ subpage.

Never underestimate the power of boredom and checking scientists in the site.

Locking this thread, right?
