So, I have a list of all the pages that have been in Works Needing Tropes for at least a month without collecting any kind of trope list  *

; I've also included the date they were added to the list, in case people think a month isn't long enough to wait.

I submit that these works are unlikely to gather any tropes in the future unless further action is taken, and so they should either be cut-listed or someone should commit to adding a trope list. How many of them can we save?

The works in question:

132 is the rudest number.

Unfortunately, I've never heard of any of them, so I won't be able to do much. However, have you tried searching to see if the work is mentioned in any trope pages? There's a few cases where a trope for a work will be listed as either an example for the trope's page or on the work itself, but not both.

I'll do what I can with the Doc Savage page, but I'm much more familiar with the books. Fortuantely, I have a copy of the paperback of the first story that was released just about the same time as the movie, and it's got a section of stills from the "Upcoming Doc Savage Movie!" in the middle.

[up][up] I've been going through Works Needing Tropes every month or so for a while and trying to convert wicks into trope lists. So, for the most part, these are already the ones where that didn't work. (The only exceptions are the WWE shows, where I started building a trope list and decided I wasn't familiar enough with the idiom to do them right, so I've been hoping someone else would do them instead.)

[up] Awesome, thanks. I see someone's started doing Malory Towers, too.

The general problem with adding things to works pages, of course, is that nobody's ever familiar enough with the works to do it, or it would have happened already. I'm not sure if there's a good solution to this — should I be posting versions of this list in all the appropriate media forums, or would that be too spammy?

Post appropriate sections in the media forums, sure. I admit, I didn't know we had a page for the Doc Savage movie.
