Misused: Killed Off For Real

Killed Off for Real is supposed to be for cases of permanent death in settings where resurrection magic or somesuch exists, but it's being massively misused for "OMG, they killed my favorite character!" both in its examples and on works pages. Even the page image is not an example under its definition.

I'm willing to clean out the bad examples, but I'm wondering if it could use a name change? Maybe No Resurrection For You or something might avert the misuse.

A trope of this size needs more than a mere assertion of misuse to justify a TRS, sorry. Also, we have plenty of work to be done, not making more threads.
