We haven't touched it for five-and-a-half months. It has ten or eleven (depending on how you count the Hindu Mythology entry) examples across eight media, it has what I think is a clear description - but I wrote that description - and it has plenty of categories.

Abstaining for now. I haven't read the entire page yet. Of those I have read, some are difficult to follow. Our Valkyria Chronicles III example is quite clunky.
 |
In Valkyria Chronicles III The Nameless privately give traitor Gusurg a funeral after they kill him because its members understand (though not necessarily agree with) with his reasons for betraying Gallia, and still genuinely respect his mentorship/leadership and the friendships they had before his betrayal. |

Who are The Nameless? Who/what is Gallia? In the examples I write on trope pages, I tend to put the trope that best describes what they are. For example, taking from the recently launched Opposite Gender Protagonists trope:
|
The Cute Witch Kiki and the aviation obsessed Nice Guy Tombo in Kiki's Delivery Service, who start out disliking each other. |
|
We can split the example into two smaller sentences instead of lumping the ideas into one big run on sentence. Here's my attempt to rewrite the phrase, which should be checked by someone who has played the game.

In Valkyria Chronicles III, The Nameless give traitor Gusurg a private funeral after they kill him. Its members understand--though not necessarily agree with--his reasons for betraying Gallia, and still genuinely respect his mentorship, leadership and the friendships they had before his betrayal. |

There's also a needs context tag over by the newspaper comics entry. It's definitely not launch blocking, but it is nice to get it fixed.
Something about the page feels off to me, but I can't pinpoint why. Abstaining for now.
I've made a grammar pass. The comic-book examples verge on Purple Prose, but that's par for the course in comic books.
If we don't vote to launch this, it either needs further active work, or it goes into Pending Delete. Just sayin'.
Well, that's three votes (in a row) to launch, with no voters against and only one abstention.
Launching this one... even if I did write the original proposal.
In Valkyria Chronicles 3 the squad privately give traitor Gusurg a funeral after they kill him because they understand (though not necessarily agree with) with his reasons for betrayal, and still genuinely respects his mentorship/leadership from before his betrayal. Is this an example?
Sounds to me like it's an example. Tropes Are Flexible, after all, and that doesn't fit under any of the listed related tropes.
