Technically, if it's an in-universe example that happens to be a subjective trope, that in-universe example can stay.

Major discretion is advised when engaging YMMVs.

Dealing with subjective tropes is just as relative as they are... can't someone just tell me if that particular example in the Songs in the Key of Panic can stay where it is?

Ah, sorry. Looking at the entry, maybe you could rewrite/reword it so that the blue links are unneeded.

What do you mean? (By the way, the link was about Donkey Kong Country if someone deleted it)

Major apologies for not being clear. Looking through the entire article I've noticed one other instance of "Nightmare Fuel" being used. Maybe it's not too bad there. I believe that the subjective tropes rule applies to works pages only (e.g., Identity) and only where the list of tropes found in the work is.

Not to get off-topic even further, but your entry is currently all blue which is why I suggested rewriting it to not include all of those links. The way it is right now makes the entry stick out in contrast to the rest of the page.

I'm not that good at writing examples, I'm afraid. Then I'm giving you every right to re-write it in a more fitting way (not that you needed me to give you any right, of course, but this was just to say you have my approval).
