* Adobe
** In addition, some people remove unwanted people from other types of photos, such as a high school sports team photo where several members are no longer part of a team. It can be a hassle to have a new picture taken, and rather than use other techniques (such as simple cropping or using blocks to cover up the ex-teammates), the photographer simply PhotoShops the ex-players out of existence ... as far as that picture is concerned. Usually, this will be done only if the player(s) are kicked off a team for severe offenses, such as drinking or serious crimes; if one simply leaves the team, even if on not the best terms, the original team photo will be left intact.
* Most restaurants have policies where the waitstaff can refuse service to a particular individual for any reason, sometimes by refusing to acknowledge them (and thus, fitting the trope). Usually, this is done to customers who have been particularly rude or obnoxious, drunk or acted "creepy" toward waitresses in the past.
Line 223:
** It's an especially strong punishment in Amish communities, since individual Amish often have no social connections outside the Amish community. Enough to drive the individual in question to suicide in severe cases.
** In the same way, exile could be a very severe punishment in tribal societies, not much better than execution.
* After [[The Pope|Pope Benedict XVI]] confirmed that Fr. Marcial Maciel, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, was really [[Paedophile Priest|a pederast]] that sexually abused numerous underage seminarians and fathered at least three children with two women, created a "system of power" built on silence and obedience that enabled him to lead an "immoral" double life "devoid of scruples and authentic religious sentiment" and allowed him to abuse young boys for decades unchecked, the Legionaries of Christ, an economically and politically powerful Catholic organization have divulged new norms regarding their founder:
* The government of the late Argentine President Nestor Kirchner (2003-2007) sought to discredit all former military rulers of Argentina by removing any official reference to their "presidencies" from government records and history, including the removal of several portraits from halls of presidents around the nation.
** Speaking of Argentina, the Perons were this for 16 years after the military junta that led to Juan Peron's exile. Eva's embalmed body was moved by the military to a tomb in Italy. The body was later returned to Argentina after the junta rule ended, and Juan Peron himself made a political comeback with a third election in 1973 (though he died just nine months into it), with Peronism still going strong today, even surviving a second military junta in the late '70s/early '80s.
Line 231:
* This is ''culturally mandatory'' in Japan, especially in corporate ambients for face-saving reasons, and we can tell about many cases about this:
** Noriko Sakai and her drug-abuse scandal caused her albums to be recalled, all her records about her career deleted by her agency and causing that her most known anime theme song [[Gunbuster|Active Heart]] (used as the OP theme) can't be used in any Japanese-made product, especialy in [[Super Robot Wars]].
** Pierre Taki also saw his works being purged or edited to remove his performances due to his arrest over cocaine possession charges, most notably the ''[[Yakuza (video game)|Yakuza]]'' spinoff ''Judgment'', where his likeness and voice was removed and replaced with a different character model and voice actor, and in the Japanese dub of the 2013 animated musical ''[[Frozen (Disney film)|Frozen]]'' where he previously voiced Olaf; he has since been replaced with Shunsuke Takeuchi in subsequent installments of the franchise.
* After Stalin died the Soviet Union did this to Stalin (to a limited extent) after they remembered how much they should hate him. For example say
* During the Pinochet regime in Chile from 1973 to 1990 people would randomly disappear; so much so that the verb "disappear" became transitive, as in "He was disappeared". Most simply never returned and their homes/possessions were taken by the government but in a few cases some of those who were disappeared would also lead to their family and anyone who spoke of them to disappear as well effectively removing a persons existence. Official estimates are around 3,000 people but some believe as many as 5-10,000 people had gone missing.
* Benjamin Cardozo (1870-1938) was a New York judge appointed to the Supreme Court by President [[Herbert Hoover]] in 1932. He and his family were Sephardic Jews, making him not only the second Jew to serve as a Supreme Court justice, but also the first Hispanic justice. But since the term "Hispanic" was not used to refer to people during Cardozo's lifetime, and since Cardozo was Portuguese (as opposed to Spanish) and white, he does not fit current perceptions of what a Hispanic-American is. As such, when President [[Barack Obama]] named a Puerto Rican woman, Sonia Sotomayor, to the Court in 2009, ''she'' was acknowledged the first Hispanic justice, effectively erasing Cardozo's existence, at least as a Hispanic-American.

*[[Uncyclopedia]] was forked in January 2013 by some members who were unhappy with the way [[Wikia]] ran the site. They intended this to be a move, but a significant portion of the community remained at the original Wikia wiki. Nonetheless, supporters of the fork claimed that it was the "real" Uncyclopedia and "the community" as a whole had moved there, and they replaced links to the original with links to the fork on the [[Wikipedia]] entry and some foreign-language editions. When the original was closed in May 2019, the content and editors moved to a new independent wiki, but fork supporters claimed that the two wikis had merged and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uncyclopedia&diff=898542969&oldid=898495796 tried to suppress mention of the new site].
* Jewish matriarchal decent has confusing roots. This Troper could not find something specific on the origin though at least one in the Chronicles seems to count both parents. Some google searches say, "the mother did most of the work". But one of the more common is that the father might have been a gentile though this was rare. And one folk tale This Troper remembers was that it was after Titus' siege, the (merely biological) father was a [[Rape, Pillage and Burn|Roman soldier]]. And as it would be unjust to honor-kill the mother they simply honor killed the father in records. This is an ambiguous example and one can take it or leave it.
* Following the nationwide protests over the death of an African-American man named George Floyd, the Southern Virginia University removed Robert Lee Durham's name from its main academic building due to Durham's racist views.
