Articles in question: Everythings Awesome With Awesome and Truly Awesome Tropes.

I have tried and failed to understand what differentiates these two indices from each other. In addition, only Everythings Awesome With Awesome has a YKTTW discussion, which did not even go beyond five replies, three of which were merely thread bumps.

I suggest a merge and a more clear description of just what qualifies a trope to be listed, beyond the obvious "if it uses awesome in its title, it qualifies".

As far as I can tell, using awesome in the name is the only qualifier, in the same vein as Doomy Dooms of Doom and Screw This Index, I Have Tropes. Whether or not these are desirable is another question altogether.

In this case, I say merge the two into Truly Awesome Tropes. I'm a bit surprised at the number of examples that show up on one but not the other.

Bump

Can a mod at least look into this issue?

Nothing, and they are both pointless. I'll cut them.

ETA: That's done. We can always just do a title search with 'awesome' if we need to see the lists again. Which we really don't.
