I like the idea of encouraging editors to present cases for and against particular tropes in an orderly manner like Nerdanel suggested, but I'd personally prefer that we keep a separate page for tropes that are likely to debated in such a manner.

I think most of the "ghetto" problem TVTropes had with their YMMV pages was they treated them as ghetto pages. Character tropes were likewise separated to another page and didn't have the same stigma about them.

Two other points that are not quite related to the topic of discussion but are tangentially related to what's been brought up here:
 * Can we get rid of TVTropes' policy that character tropes should be listed only on the character pages? It seems to me that it would be advantageous to list them in both places: On the main page to see all of the uses of a particular character trope in one place, and on the character page to put all tropes about specific characters in one place.
 * The Trivia page should really be renamed. I like the idea of the page (things that require outside knowledge of the work), but it has little connection to what its name is.  Perhaps something like "External tropes?"
