Previous Trope Repair Shop thread: Ambiguous Name

Can I suggest changing the name of this trope to just "What Is His Name Again?"? Would be much less misleading that way.

Okay, I thought might get a bit of flak for removing Canada of Axis Powers Hetalia - allegedly "the definition of the trope" - from the page, so I decided to explain myself.
Canada is not, in fact, an example of Who Is This Guy Again. Read the description again: this trope is about characters whose names the audience forgets because they are not properly introduced. Although many of the Hetalia characters often forget who Canada is, the creator introduces him to the audience properly and there is no confusion about his identity for the audience, as can be seen by his status as an Ensemble Dark Horse.

The video series mentioned in the page quote (while, IMO, one of the best LPs out there, seems to have vanished from the face of YouTube.
Does anyone have a current link to the series? If so, we should probably add that to the quote. If not, we may want to consider using a different quote...
