Users of the site have too much time on their hands and are obsessed with television shows, such as the vacuous occult teen drama ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''. Consequently, they need excuses to make new pages. As a result, most of the entries are over specialized variations of other entries. Effectively every individual scene, character or theme, no matter how specific, can be turned into an article, even if they are not tropes as such. The official policy is that "There Is No Such Thing As Notability", the only qualifying factor for page creation is that the subject must actually exist.
