{{quote|Trope candidates, unlike diamonds, are not forever. Candidates will live in the Workshop for as long as it takes to whip them into shape, but that means that they must be ''actively worked on''. "Actively worked on" means tropers are editing ''the candidate'' to improve it and render it suitable for launch. Comments made in the talk page about how to improve (or save) the page are ''not'' working on the candidate; they are chatter that does not affect the state of the candidate.

If a candidate sits untouched for six months or more, it is considered to be ''abandoned''. "Untouched" means no editing activity.

Abandoned candidates will be marked with the {{tl|delete}} template announcing a one-week warning and giving a specific date and time for their deletion. A notice will also be placed on candidate's talk page repeating this warning and CC'ing all admins and active editors. If no effort is made to reignite development of the candidate, it will be deleted at the end of the one-week grace period. |

The only thing that counts as rescuing a trope from abandoned status is further genuine development of the trope. Again, "token" edits which do not substantially improve the candidate and move it toward launch do ''not'' count and may be ignored by the admins. Protests and suggestions in the candidate's talk page also do not count. If you want to save a candidate, don't talk about it -- work on it.}} |
