The changes reflect the consensus reached by Trope Repair Shop.
The WhipItGood
thread is here.
The SaiGuy thread is here.
If you have concerns about these decisions, and similar decisions in the future, that's probably something to raise on the TRS discussion threads.
However, in both of these cases, the key statement seems to be the one added to the disambig pages: "Wielding a specific weapon is not a trope on its own".
Shouldn't Zoo have a page since there two Similarly Named Works with pages (Zoo & Zoo)

I ask because the one I created was Cutlisted the same day I created it

Nope. De novo disambiguations between works with the same title in different namespaces are much better handled by auto-disambig.

Can we put this index under Rule of Fun?

I really don't see how that works.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I feel like there should be some kind of notice that if you're putting a page on this index, you should be making sure the page type is set to "disambig" unless there's an overriding reason not to, especially if it's due to someone converting a former work page or redirect.

^Done.

Thanks, though TBH there are a few pages that actually should be other page types. I've come across some pages on the list that really were tropes, works (usually franchises), or indexes.
Incidentally, I went through the current list. Ended up fixing about 85 pages' types, about 35 of which were incorrectly listed as works (hopefully will help out with the Namespace Migration a little).

I've been thinking. As long as there are disambiguation pages that are under the franchise namespace, would they still have to be here?

^I don't think so. This is probably just for pure disambigs.

Franchise pages probably don't count, since they have more material on them than just a list of "you might be looking for X" links.

Please help me understand, WHY exactly are we doing away with tropes such as "Whip It Good," "Sai Guy," etc.? Doesn't their abolishment dismiss the point of their association with certain characters in different works (e.g. the Belmont family's use of whips in Castlevania, or Raphael's use of sais)?
