Just because a page doesn\'t have edits (especially if it\'s locked) or talk page discussion when it\'s not a stub doesn\'t mean it\'s deletable. And just because a work is supposedly made to troll someone doesn\'t make it deletable either, as it has legit tropes outside of that related to a tropeable story, characters, and artstyle. I wouldn\'t call it trolling (or at least, not fully) either, it\'s more of a parody as the description says, and those are perfectly fine (like Third Rate Gamer). And it brought us 5000 inbounds, though it may be a very light argument. Any problems this page could have brought are likely nonexistent nowadays, due to the comic ending and CWC having different problems on her hands. Seriously, the lock should have been enough, maybe there should be a sandbox for improving this page as it is admittedly showing its age with poor examples or whatever. But definitely not deletion.

I thought call-backs are supposed to reference something that happened in a prior installment in a series? Like, for example, in Star Trek 2009, James T. Kirk is established in his first scene to be a fan of Beastie Boys\' \

I thought call-backs are supposed to reference something that happened in a prior installment in a series? Like, for example, in Star Trek 2009, James T. Kirk is established in his first scene to be a fan of Beastie Boys\\\' \\\"Sabotage\\\". Two movies later in Star Trek Beyond, Beastie Boys\\\' \\\"Sabotage\\\" is the song Kirk used to destroy Krall\\\'s swarm.

Your definition of the brick joke is that it sets up the audience to expect some kind of resolution or punchline that doesn\\\'t occur until much later: doesn\\\'t this apply to the strip club that Shazam went to both times? The first time, it\\\'s kinda a random thing in the \\\"training\\\" montage as Shazam takes advantage of being physically adult to enter the club. When it shows up again, it\\\'s the first location on Billy-as-Shazam\\\'s mind as he transported himself and his foster siblings from the Rock of Eternity to escape from Dr. Sivana. Shazam went to the strip club again, which now actually plays a role in the story and the payoff of Shazam messing around with his physically adult body earlier in the story. Shouldn\\\'t that qualify as a brick joke?

Just wondering, so I wanted to discuss this first. I don\\\'t think it really qualifies as a call-back, but if it\\\'s not a brick joke either, then what trope should this apply to? Some version of Chekhov\\\'s Gun?
