Should this page have the noreallife tag?

This page was listed on TV Tropes's "No Real Life Examples, Please" list page (which is being replaced with Category:No Real Life Examples, Please here). However, the page has a Real Life section.

Should the Real Life section be removed. or should the request for no Real Life examples be removed? Why or why not?

While Real Life examples of this would be... intriguing, I have to say, yes, it should.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Gotta disagree with you, Henery. The section currently in place is anything but prurient, and I don't think it serves any real purpose to to remove it and bar future real life examples.

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Yeah, LT said what I was thinking.

Derivative (talkcontribs)

I think at minimum where should be a warning for users to not write with one hand when writing RL examples.

I concur - Real Life examples should be able to fit here with some level of restraint, since celebrity culture and Hollywood in particular has a penchant for this exact flavor of risque. Ultimately I agree with LT, though I feel like a pass for quality might be something I consider doing of my own accord down the line.

Here's a first draft of a possible warning for the top of the real Life section. what if anything needs to be changed?

"Note: All The Tropes is not a gossip site. Please keep in mind All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness when adding examples to this section."

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

I feel like that suffices, can't think of any improvements.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Works for me, too.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

And done.

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Good call, Derivative.
