If you just want to cut a page, you can submit it to the Cut List here. You don't need to post in this thread for that.
As mentioned on the Cut List page itself, cutting is generally seen as a last resort. If it's a Work page for a valid work, we may ask if there have been other attempts to save it. If it's a subpage, we may want to confirm that examples are being moved, not lost entirely.
Cut requests that don't have a reason will be declined.
Posts here may cover the following topics:
- Mod or engineer posts confirming that a cut has been declined.
- Challenges to save something that's already on the Cut List but hasn't been cut yet.
- Queries about recovering or restoring a page that's already been cut.
- Queries about next steps for pages where a cut request was declined (e.g. due to very high inbounds).
- General Cut List policy questions.
You can see a list of recently cut articles here

Decline the Meteo Chronicles stuff since it's anti-The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours.
It's cancelled or getting remade, but it's still downloadable.
Also needs reverts to restore content.

EDIT: Thanks!

How sweet it is
Trivia and Heartwarming pages can have one example as long as the lone example is valid. Thus, those two cut requests are declined.

I remember that I once created tropes pages for the fanfics My Fetish Academia and My Fetish Ninja by The_Plauge_Dragon before they were cut. I'm just curious as to why they were deleted from the site and if it's possible for me to remake the trope pages for them?

A cut reason is listed on the cut page after it's been cut. My Fetish Academia:

~Tropers/bf2234 cut list request for Music.Whitechapel is declined. You do not deal with different works sharing a name by deleting one of them. Edit: I see what you're doing. You should disambig them both.

Decline my cut request for Trivia.Baby Boom because I typo-ed an M for a "."?
Nevermind, it was done?

Please decline the request for YMMV.Helluva Boss S 2 E 7 Mammons Magnificent Musical
I meant to cutlist YMMV.Mammons Magnificient Musical Midseason Special Ft Fizzarolli.

For the Cut List entry for Heartwarming.Awake, can the cut reason be changed to "Moved to Heartwarming.Awake 2012"? If not, just decline the cut for that page now as I re-request it for a better Cut List reason.

On the cut reason for MsFanservice.Nintendo I put "we do" when I meant "we do not".

We've got no ability to edit cut reasons, so I'll decline those two so you can resubmit.
Edit: done

On the cut reason for YMMV.Jules Verne, I accidentally put “YMMV cannot be played with”, instead of “YMMV for creator”.
the Retromancer
TearJerker.Lam Put was cut for having one example despite being a Moments page.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Restored.

Over half a year ago I cutlisted NightmareFuel.Gen Lock with the following reason:
Page has only two examples. I know it hasn't been that long since the page's unlocking, but it looks like I'm the only one giving it any form of attention, which makes it unlikely to ever be expanded, which in turn makes it beyond salvageable.
Should the page be restored?
This is Idol Tap. (My Troper Wall)
Restored. Apparently What Goes Where on the Wiki has been saying since 2011 that Nightmare Fuel goes in its own namespace.
(Even if it didn't, and if we assume that two NF examples are not enough for a subpage, if the examples were valid, they should've been moved to the YMMV page instead of just being cut)
One-Track Mind (he/him)
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
In that case, Awesome.Shattered Skies The Morning Lights should be restored as well. I cutlisted it some time ago for being a "blank page", but the reason it was blank was because I moved its sole example over to the YMMV page.

Asking to cancel the cut of TabletopGame.Trinity since I'm actually moving TabletopGame.Aeon to somewhere else.

Haiku.Final Fantasy XIV consists entirely of Haikus not written by Tropers. Is this allowed?
This is Idol Tap. (My Troper Wall)
You can just move the example back yourself. As you said, the content was moved to the YMMV page, so there's really not much to be gained from a mod restoral here.
done
This thread isn't for asking whether an existing page (that isn't on the cutlist) should be cut. Try Haiku-Wiki Cleanup

Please cancel the cut for WhatCouldHaveBeen.The Venture Brothers. I will write the correct edit reason.

~Princess Daisy 123, "see below" does not help explain why the page is being cut. There's always a chance it'll be at the bottom of the list, so it points to nowhere.
Thus, Mike The Knight S 1 E 07 Peace And Quiet Glendragon News will be declined. Please give a proper reason if you wish to try again.

NewGamePlus2022.Tropes In Return Of The Shield Deku may need a rename and definitely needs a move to a new namespace, but we're not going to simply cut it entirely without a cut reason.
It's under discussion on the fanfic cleanup thread, so you might want to join the conversation there.
he/him
The cut request for VideoGame.Battlestar Galactica has been declined, as requested, and the VideoGame.Battlestar Galactica Video Game duplicate has been cut.
Thanks for your swift and clear answer.
