"Kiss of Life" is a term used casually outside the wiki for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It's listed in both the Harper-Collins and American Heritage dictionaries, as well as in the American Heritage /Stedman's Medical dictionary. Just throwing that out there.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Okay, but this is more that it's either mistaken for kissing, or uses to set up actual kissing (which is actually two tropes anyway).
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.It's CPR, without the chest compressions.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I know that. The page doesn't show it that way.
I'm stating at least something has to be done.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.You know it can overlap with CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable, right?
I'm not convinced we should be concerned about anything here.
Rhymes with "Protracted."There's a difference between overlapping and having the elements of the other trope, but not the trope it's supposed to be covering.

It apparently has to do with mouth-to-mouth CPR, and often the recipient waking up at that moment, not actual kissing (magical or mundane).
I think a name like Its Not Kissing Its CPR would work.
Preliminary wick check (10 out of 130, 23 inbonds):
- TearJerker.Ah My Goddess: Misused for actual kissing.
- Anachronauts: No context
- WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome.Anime: Used for actual CPR, which is CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable, not really this trope.
- HoYay.Anime: Seems to be CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable.
- Artistic License – Medicine: Listed in the index, but I'm not sure it fits, since the description doesn't make it look like medical procedures working unrealistically.
- Characters.Gaia Online: Seems to be CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable.
- Girl on Girl Is Hot: Seems to be CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable.
- Heart Beat-Down: Misused for an actual healing kiss.
- Heartbreak Ridge: Haven't seen the movie, but the context looks correct.
- Hey Arnold!: Might be correct, or it might be misused for actual kissing.
