OP by The Mayor of Simpleton

Courtesy link to the oldest version of this page on the Internet Archive.

The problem: Toy Commercial is a trope about any commercial for a toy. Why we have this instead of troping more specific parts of toy commercials, or why we don't also have Anime Commercial or Video Game Commercial or Television Show Commercial, is unknown, but more importantly this trope has had just 7 wicks and 500 inbounds (along with zero on-page examples) since 2007. Even by the new standards of Advertising Tropes, this is still too little to be thriving.

Possible solution: Taking into account the lack of wicks and on-page examples, and my concerns over whether we even need this as its own page, I recommend cutting this trope.

What does everyone else think? Any other ideas or suggestions?

Like before, as TMOS is now lurking, pinging may not grant a response. Credit has been given as requested.

As for my vote, easy cut.
