Trickle-Down Economics is a major part of Reagan's legacy both in real life and in fictional appearances.

If he made movies, should he be under Creator/ instead like Donald Trump is?

Trump will go to Useful Notes soon I think.
And Reagan was not much of an actor anyway.
Now, Reagan as an actor could get a separate Creator/ page if you bothered to make one.

Regarding the edit page saying "No Real Life Examples, Please". I would like to add to the "One Of Us" trope his screening of Star Trek III: The Search For Spock and his visiting the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Allowed?
This entry looks...pruned.
No talk about his policies? No talk about Reagonomics? No talk about foreign relations, evil empires, or Star Wars? Positive OR negative?
Come on, even if its in a just the facts manner, there's no reason why we can't have some more basic facts about the guy.

These are not particularly relevant to storytelling in my mind. Or maybe the editors just didn't care about them so much.

Would anyone object, then, if someone were to place such information on an Analysis page? This way it's there in case any Tropers want to view it, and if any Tropers only want to see his portrayals in the media then they won't have to scroll through all of it.
Dinner tables are for eating, not conversation.
I think that'd be a questionable application of Analysis/. It's not a politics platform.

There is real life tropes on nearly other President's page, even Obama. Now whole swathes of facts on Reagan's real life tropes on facts on his policies (along with Richard Nixon) are deleted. Either put tropes for all the Presidents or none of them.
"The other thing is also bad" is not a defense for the first thing. Especially if the other thing is actually shorter.

I'm not saying the other thing is bad, I'm just asking for consistency of policy.
Well, yes, you were arguing by citing other pages with the same issues. That argument doesn't work.
Anyhow, the other pages don't have the same issue of mile-long politics talk. Hence, they aren't treated the same way.

Fair enough. Checking over the page history, Reagan's page did use to be a lot longer. I miss some of the information that is easier to find than on Wikipedia. TV Tropes does a better job at organizing this information.
"Reagan is well-known for restructuring the USA's political economy to allow the wealthy keep more of the money they had earned (under the theory that high taxation stymied economic growth)."
The bolded section was recently deleted without explanation, and the overall sentence was truncated to a bland and uninformative statement that Reagan restructured the USA's political economy, without mentioning how. If we're going to mention that sort of thing, we should at least add detail, and since Reagan's economics informed the culture of the Eighties, it's one of the more relevant things about him as far as this wiki goes. I'm open to an edit that maintains the overall thrust of the sentence without sanitizing the intent or effect of Reaganomics.
Also, AFAIK, random, unexplained deletions are still a no-go, right?
