My reasoning: the trope is specifically about swastikas (or whatever other symbol applies) not appearing in a context where they would be expected. If they show up in a context where they could reasonably be expected to appear (say, a movie set in Berlin in 1943), that\'s Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs, and shouldn\'t be listed. If they show up in a context where one of their other meanings is intended, that\'s NonNaziSwastika. If they show up without any context, that\'s . . . well, I\'m not really sure what trope it would be, but I don\'t think it would be this. GratuitousNazis, maybe? If they don\'t show up in a context where they plausibly could but probably wouldn\'t in real life (say, a work set in the Pacific Theater), then it\'s not even applicable.

(This is inspired by a discussion a few years back regarding Film/EmpireOfTheSun, where the reasons for keeping it listed on that page got increasingly convoluted. It was eventually removed, but the thought\'s been at the back of my mind ever since.)
