# It is a word-for-word copy of a trope page from TV Tropes. This is ''copyright infringement'' as the material postdates the fork and TV Tropes' subsequent change of license in 2012. Because All The Tropes and TV Tropes run under different Creative Commons licenses, content created there after 2012 cannot legally be used.

# A simple check of the page's history at TVT shows that it is the work of at least ''fourteen'' different people, and possibly more. You have posted it here without the express written approval of ''all'' the editors who contributed to it, which is required under both TVT's and our Creative Commons licenses. That makes this also [[Plagiarism]], as you are clearly not the sole creator of the text in question, and cannot legally authorize its reposting here.

Even if you had given us a page we could legally use, this alone would have merited its rejection. As the one proposing the trope, it is incumbent upon you to give the wiki a candidate that does not require excessive work on the part of other users just to bring it up to the bare minimum of acceptable formatting.
