More specific plans: 

 To create a section entitled "Manic Pixie Dream Boy" in order to discuss the spin-off term and the tropes appearance in recent cinema. Popular discussion focused on Augustus Waters in the film adaptation of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars and on TV characters such as Parks and Recreation's Ben Wyatt and 30 Rock's Criss Chros.  

  

  

 Further, we would like to expand the criticism and debate section by including a new subsection about Nathan Rabin's 2007 coinage of the term as well as his 2014 retraction of the term. We would also add (to the original section, not the NR subsection) discussion of the 2013 debate about whether the term had "died."

 To clarify and expand on the "Examples" section, we will refer to two academic papers on the topic which have been peer-reviewed and accessed through the Cornell University Library. Each provides justification that we believe sufficient for including an example on this page.
