Sometimes, a trope is distinct enough to deserve its own name and description, but a bit too specific to deserve its own page: There is a huge grey area between worthwhile tropes and tropes that are plainly The Same but More, The Same but More Specific, or similar. In some cases, a trope concept within this gray area is best handled by making it an Internal Subtrope: Give it a trope definition within the trope description of the supertrope and add the trope name as a redirect.

For examples, see Bastard Girlfriend (which have Abusively Sexy Lady, Abusively Sexy Bitch and Abusively Sexy Girl as Internal Subtropes) and Artist Disillusionment (which has Artist Disillusionment Farewell as an Internal Subtrope).
