** Honor Harrington? Hell, AlanDeanFoster did the \\\"GeniusLoci DeathWorld HungryJungle of hexapod BondCreatures vs. CorruptCorporateExecutive Phlebotinum-seekers\\\" schtick back in 1987 with \\\'\\\'Midworld\\\'\\\'. No USB hairwhips back then, and the skinny agile super-tough natives were descended from humans and \\\'\\\'short\\\'\\\', but everything else is so close, the Green World With No Name might as well be given one at last ... as Ur-Pandora.

Note that the last one basically admits the bias I was mentioning, hence its removal. It\\\'s just the DeathWorld trope. Nothing more.

The following were also deleted:

** Finally, the movie \\\'\\\'Surrogates\\\'\\\' was about everyday humans linking in to robotic versions of themselves that were stronger, faster and more attractive.

Because it was too vague to count.

* \\\"Ferngully: the Last Rainforest.\\\" White guy gets sucked into a tribe of magical environmentalists that are one with the world and he has to hang around with the heir to the magical throne while not mentioning he\\\'s the forefront of an oncoming wave of destruction, and just as he\\\'s getting acclimated to his new life they find out about the humans and their giant chainsaw-tank and so they get in a fight and he goes and assaults the machine and later they get back together and fight off the machines\\\' assault on their especially magical tree-fort with the power of nature. To make things worse, Avatar was far less subtle about the connection the natives have to nature (esoteric touch-based magic versus a USB cord sticking out of their heads) and didn\\\'t have Robin Williams as a cyborg bat OR Tim Curry as a sultry jazz-singing poison elemental.

Because it was a Repeated earlier in the list. That\\\'s standard policy.

The others were just moved to a \\\"Real Life Shout Out\\\" sub division. But you didn\\\'t bother to look, apparently.

The following was shortened to a single sentence and moved:

* The Na\\\'vi are expert and deadly archers, have a deep and emphatically spiritual connection with their natural surroundings, are not prone to rowdiness (but will become \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' pissed at anyone taking liberties with their environment), and are distinguishable by their slender forms and pointed ears. The Humans, meanwhile, are fond of high-impact, low-skill weaponry, are master craftsmen, builders, and inventors (epitomized by their home, a vast, multi-layered hive carved from inorganic substance and lacking much natural light or vegetation), express themselves with a combo of gung-ho emotion and gritty determination, and are considerably shorter and stockier than their counterparts. ElvesVsDwarves, anyone?

Basically changed that to being part of the main trope page as just \\\"ElvesVsDwarves\\\": Na\\\'Vi vs. Humans.

So, lets review:

A total of \\\'\\\'\\\'4\\\'\\\'\\\' Entries were deleted due to:
* 2 Basically admitting to be existing tropes (DeathWorld). Further, there should be a trope for humanoid avatar bodies given is shows up here, in {{Surrogates}} and DotHack franchise.
* Inapplicability (Tie in game having a gameplay genre that appeared before, better tell all shooters everywhere they\\\'re all ripoffs of Wolfenstein3D.
* A Repeat you had missed.

Really Eddie? 4 long entries count as a \\\"Big Delete\\\"?

The fact that you did nothing to try and correct the so-called \\\"big delete\\\" does not speak to your favor, as I have seen you do it multiple times before.

So pardon me if I find you explanation and continued dodge of the points raised to be wanting.
