Is there a reason that real life games with ampersands in the titles (Like Mazes and Minotaurs) were deleted?

Apparently because the trope description starts "Any fictional roleplaying game", and when a trope description says it's describing something in universe, you never, ever list Real Life examples, except on all the other pages.

EDIT: Okay, without the sarcasm, it's not clear to me why this trope would be No Real Life Examples, Please!. After all, the real games are named that way for exactly the same reason as the fictional ones: because it sounds like Dungeons & Dragons.

It's also kind of funny that the page quote is still talking about real games. And Wizards & Warriors gets a pass, somehow, even though it doesn't feature any TTRPG, fictional or otherwise.

Per TRS, the definition was reverted to the original definition of Dungeons & Dragons-style Alliterative Titles and renamed from Magic Ampersand to Alliteration & Adventurers.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

I feel like this is both a weird, vague title and a missed opportunity to call it "Ampersands & Alliterations".
