Even if Big Little Brother is Truth in Television, there are still lots of fictional examples allowed on this wiki, and there is, in fact, a reason for the trope page to exist in the first place. Also, it is a UNISEX trope.

The problem I have is not with the gender or the exact age, but the fact that there is barely any difference in the height and it's not really noteworthy. The trope is a trope when one generally assumes the younger one is actually older. Now, there are many reasons to make this assumption, but it's not the difference in height that does that. From what I read of the trope, that's not what is going on here. Honestly, I'm hoping a third party will split this difference one way or the other.
I removed the Big Little Sister trope twice now, and it was added back both times by the same person without adding any statement or justification, while I explained that the trope specifically mentions that younger siblings can end up taller than the older sibling as Truth in Television. In the hopes of stopping an editing war before it escalates, I'm taking it here, in the hopes of actually getting some kind of response.
