Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Work pages need an actual work to point to in order to exist. If all that's present are some concept art or discussions of planned material, then that's not a work with tropable material. This isn't a site for collecting discussions of people's OCs or fandom speculations.
Looking at the Tumblr blog, I wouldn't even say that there were pages published. There are a few page sketches, but otherwise it's all character artwork and discussions about plans. That's not a published or readable work.
This is a perfect example of why we have guidelines for when and how unreleased works should be troped or have pages made for them. Otherwise you get things like this, where people get excited about an upcoming thing, make assumptions about the final shape it takes, and add a lot of material that shouldn't have been added.

Would like to have another opinion on if I have to send this page to the cutlist or not.
Edit: Looks like the page got deleted while I was not looking. I will just delete all the wicks

That project was a friend of mine, Fang-Tan (otherwise known as Azuma Yugi on Twitter or Nanoda Translations), who unfortunately got seriously ill during 2020. He has not fully recovered yet (and I haven't heard from him for a while).
I know the plans he had for this comic series, and I even have sketches from him. Lots of them. We once had a friendly discussion about those plans and I even contributed to some of the chapter titles. And I did show him this trope page and he was touched by it. He even considered getting to work on when he gets better.
But this page honestly shouldn't have been made in the first place because he was still ironing out the details (with me giving feedback) and seeing this only hurts me because I know what he's currently go through.

I found this page, Rebuild Of Pocket Monsters The Animation, which seems to be about a webcomic that only had two or three pages drawn before it got abandoned. I noticed that the page was made in May 2020 and that the Tumblr that page links to was last updated in June 2020, meaning that it was made by a troper who got hyped up by an ambitious project that quickly got cancelled before it actually went anywhere. This means that the page is almost exclusively troping Word of God tumblr posts about future ideas and plans that were never drawn.
My question is that do we keep a page for an abandoned project? Do tumblr asks and some page sketches and character drawings give enough tropable material for a page?
