Note: This thread was proposed by MaLady.

About 1/4 of all currently checked examples are zero context, about 1/5 are just that someone wears one, and about 1/10 are each "invoking Badasses Wear Bandanas" and "Martial Arts / Japan / Ninja".

Martial Arts Headband Wick Check - Checked 100+ of almost 500 wicks.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

I think we could just cut this like we did with the similarly Chairs-y Martial Arts Uniform not too long ago. This page is from 2009, and the inbound count isn't much higher than the one for Martial Arts Uniform (6,131 for Martial Arts Headband vs. 5,490 for Martial Arts Uniform), which was a similarly old page that we cut instead of redirecting or disambiguating. Plus, I'm not sure where we could disambiguate between; at most I suppose redirecting to Badasses Wear Bandanas could be an option.

Badasses Wear Bandanas already includes "fighters wear headbands", so we can simply merge/redirect with it.

There are five martial artists wearing headbands.

The first on the left (from the viewer's perspective) wears a headband with the letter "M." The second wears the letter "E." The third wears the letter "R." The fourth wears the letter "G." Finally, the fifth wears the letter "E."

What does that spell?

MERGE

I wonder if the fan club use that Gaston identified in the wick check is worthy to be yarded. I think it's the only other tropable concept that can't be merged.

[up][up][up]Yarding is a free action, so that can be done.

Anyway, I'm fine with redirecting instead of doing a full-fledged cut.

[up] x4 - That's my wick check, fyi.

There's also been discussion about the "Put it on for Preparation" use in Trope Idea Sounding Board from ~Imperial Majesty XO, so no one's caught off-guard if that gets drafted too.
