I tried to start a TRS thread and it was declined because, since the tropes on the index don't share one word or phrase in their title, it's not a true Search Generated Index. While that's true, it's as useless as one because the tropes in it share no common trait that's not in their titles, and the description is still wrongly claiming that this is an index of snowclones, which we have Snowclones for anyway.

I would link to the ATT thread that you started but since you didn't give it a title, there's no way to link to the thread.
For the record, we did discuss this page in ATT and decided to clean up the page, add a note to the page (for editors), and move the removed index items to the discussion page (with reasons) so that anyone can double check if they're adding something that fits the index.
Participants in the discussion included OP, me, The Great Conversation, Septimus, and a bunch of other people (stating because, again, I can't link to the thread).

Tropes That Are NOT Examples:
- Brand X: The brand is not called "Brand [blank]". This trope involves making up a whole new name, not filling in a blank.
- Come For The X Stay For The Y is a Just for Fun page about audience reactions.
- "Die Hard" on an X describes a type of plot. There's no specific variable "X" could refer to.
- King Bob the Nth: The variable is a number, not a word or plot element.
- The Nth Doctor: The variable does not even come into play. This is just a character whose entire physical appearance changes.
- Oh, and X Dies is when an author spoils or foreshadows a character's death. It's not a Stock Phrase.
- Population: X, and Counting is just a trope describing variable population signs. The number doesn't matter.
- Press X to Die and Press X to Not Die: The types of actions these tropes describe are too varied for "Press X" to cover them. Pressing X is just a subset.
- Why, Thank You, X! describes a stock interaction. The X term is irrelevant to the trope.
- X Days Since: The variable is a number.
- Year X: "X" is a type of censorship, not a variable.
