I know we have a policy of not troping real life.
So what counts as a work? I mean, we have plenty of nonfiction, for example Documentary and Non-Fiction Literature. I know that there is some creative license, but still.
Also, I know that some Blogs and Other Sites have pages. I also know that some, such as This Troper and Sammy Classic Sonic Fan, have been sent to the Cut List.
I know that there is a policy against discussing real life behavior. But website pages like Reddit, often discuss the behavior of their denizens.
So what is the policy on what a work is?

That page is a catastrophic mess anyways, to the point I don't think there's a single valid example. Whilst I support cutting for not being a work, I also support cutting for quality reasons — the lack of the bare minimum, in this case.

So, um...
DK Vine exists.
I'm unsure what I am even looking at — a fansite with its own fanon? All pages overloaded with drama importation and lack of context? What am I looking at?

Being a fansite isn't a problem as long as it has own content. As for the page, since it has a long example list, I'd start clearing out ZCE and IRL troping and see what'd remain.
Literature.B To The F The Novelization Of The Feature Film is more of a review of a creative work than a creative work in its own right and it consists mostly of snark about the work in question.

This is starting to become a cleanup thread.
Should I just make one in LTP called “Is this tropable?”

Should Laci Green be cut? It's not a fictional work, nor a review show, and there's no indication that she plays a role or includes skits.

Eurotrash is above money. Eurotrash is above desire. And in her magnanimity, in her pity, in her greatness... Eurotrash will save you.
