All The Tropes:There Is No Such Thing as Notability: Difference between revisions

There's another kind of work that's unavailable -- something someone made up which never existed in the first place. [[TV Tropes]] was rife with them, jokes and homages and just-for-fun things like ''Walt Disney's [[The Diary of a Young Girl|Anne Frank]]''. We here at All The Tropes have tried to eliminate a lot of them, because if you weren't in on the joke to begin with, you might not realize it's fake, and they kind of dilute the work we've put in on the real stuff. There are a few examples that are still around, because they're generally part of another work -- like ''[[Inspector Spacetime]]'', which is a [[Show Within a Show]] on ''[[Community]]''. But in general, if it doesn't exist, neither should a page for it.<ref>And just note that trying to get a page for something that doesn't exist past the mod staff is a [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|grounds for a permanent ban on the first offense]]. We're trying to be an academic resource -- a fun, informal academic resource but still an academic resource. Bogus works dilute the value and worth of the wiki, and also threaten the justification we have for fair use of a lot of our images.</ref>
