message: We need references to works which discuss the overall subject matter, not just individual examples. Otherwise this compilation of "what fantasy tropes are there?" is nothing but original research.
In the end, without such references the page needs to go, no matter how useful it is.
Let's see if I can find a suitable template... CapnZapp (talk) 12:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  original research? 

message: I know what the article's trying to say, and I can't think of a better way of putting it, but isn't "these settings are ...  less typical of contemporary fantasy" equivilent to "fantasy set in the present day is not usually set in a medieval world"? Which is, well, obvious, really. Daibhid C (talk) 22:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The force shouldn't be here. It's not magic, and it's not from a fantasy. It's a natural ability, and it's science fiction. Feedback much appreciated. Since I cannot edit Wiki due to technical problems, somebody else will have to remove it. Thank you very much. Avianmosquito (talk) 14:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Although Thulsa Doom appeared in the Conan movie he was an enemy of King Kull not Conan. More accurately it would be Thoth Amon. The wikipedia pages on Thulsa Doom and Thoth Amon are correct on this matter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.30.128.232 (talk) 15:40, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

message: If anything the article true names in popular culture article should not be merged here, but merged with True Names instead.  If moved it needs to be cleaned up too.  It is mostly a miscellaneous list of information which is generally discouraged by Wikipedia standards.  So long as the characters listed have a wikilink to the True Names page on their own respective wikipedia articles that should be sufficient.  Another possibility is to create a category for "Characters with True Names" and add that category to various individual articles. -- Npd2983 (talk) 20:47, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I have used "trope" in the sense of John Clute's use, more like "theme", but i see that trope is a more specific linguistic word outside of clutedom. I would suggest that this article be renamed "Fantasy themes", and the category be also renamed as such, to parallel the "Science fiction themes" category.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:45, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: We used to have a full article for fantasy races that covered them from various perspectives, with references to learned literature about them. Then someone went on a bit of a crusade on RPG-related pages, and we have this. SamBC(talk) 17:35, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

text: This should be under fantasy tropes, per main article on literary tropes and :Category:Fantasy tropes. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. Per WP:NOTCURRENTTITLE and WP:BARTENDER, consensus is clearly split in this discussion, and while there is clear consensus that the article should move away from the present title, both the original proposal and alternative proposal have almost indistinguishable levels of support based in policy and explanatory positions. Neither of the two general options presented appears to have a clear consensus. Per the closing instructions, as this is a NOTCURRENTTITLE close, anyone who objects to this close is permitted to propose the alternative title as a separate RM at any time without being in breach of RM norms regarding wait times between move requests.

replies: text: I don't think this is the right way to evaluate these multi-way RMs: 1) Is there consensus for a move? 2) Now that there's consensus for a move, where should we move it? This presumes that all supporters of some move believe that the current title is unacceptable and that any other title is better than the current one. Based on what I've seen from the discussion so far, it seems that supporters of Tropes in fantasy generally prefer the original title, Fantasy tropes, over Fantasy trope, while supporters of the singular title are mostly indifferent between the plural titles. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
