Should DyingForSymbolism be YMMV?

The trope is that the author wants to show heavy symbolism (generally a massive turn for the worse in the author's world) and does so by having an important character killed off.

However, as far as I can tell, most of the examples are not based on Word of God; but on inferral or speculation of tropers who like the work. Nothing wrong with that, but wouldn't that mean the page is YMMV?

So is that something this forum handles, or should it go in the TRS queue?

Oh, and you'd want to do a wick check to see if the examples actually read as being subjective.
