Wiki Magic: The Silver Rose

Looks like a work.

But... argh... it hurts to look at it.

Holy shit I'm cutlisting that abomination.

Holy - kill it with fire!

On what grounds do you want to cut it? There Is No Such Thing As Notability.

On the grounds of piss-poor writing style and no trope list. We don't do stubs around here.

If a works page is launched without a tropes list we prefer to cut it - it's more likely that someone else will see the lack of works page and make a better one than will find the stub and add a tropes list.

Someone may want to PM the creator before cutting it, as it was only just added on the 27th. I know I have created the body of an article, saved my changes, and then gotten side-tracked from adding the tropes for a few days in the past.

It's not done at all!

I started it but since then RL has been kicking me in the butt. Also, I'm not quite familiar with creating a TV Tropes page and haven't currently been able to find the time to do so (see RL above).

Exactly how stubby does something have to be before being cuttable because of this? I'm thinking of Solar Man Of The Atom, which does have tropes... three, plus two lines of text.

@Grace: Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. I took the liberty of putting it on an index for you, since it sounded like a Web Original.

PM me if you need any advice on how to add something. Also check Text-Formatting Rules, Good Style, and the various pages on Administrivia to get some very helpful info on how things work.

Edit: Christ, you guys seriously did put it on the cutlist after just two days? And remove its one and only wick from Original Character Tournament? Did it not occur to you that maybe we'd be better served lending a helping hand here?

@Meeble: Thanks! I probably will look at all of those things, I just really don't have time to fix this at all at the moment, haha.

If you can, you may want to think of a couple of tropes you can add to it to save it from the aforementioned cutlist. You'll have time to refine things later on, but that is what the page is in most dire need of right now.

It also helps to write a new page in word or notepad first, and paste it in when you're done, especially if you think you're going to get interrupted before you have it fully finished. We have some people who prowl the New Launches list looking for "stubs" and cutlisting them immediately.

Ok, Grace has added quite a number of trope examples to the page. Can we have this discussion locked, and the page removed from the Cut List if it's not already?

Locked. A Cut Master will have to do the cutlist thing.
