The comments are conflicting in such way that it's better to just axe it, imo.

I do not know what grounds are there to remove YMMV items apart from mentioning GG or or being nonfactual (In fact I'm pretty sure entries on YMMV pages shouldn't be removed without falling into either criteria), the conflicting examples seem to be the latter, which is why I'm asking to see which example in that entry should we keep and which one should we axe

YMMV can also be removed for misuse, even if the opinion does exist. I've deleted Broken Base entries that didn't present multiple opinions and were basically negative opinion shoehorns.

Conflicting statements on popularity need something to go because only one can be right, and those statements conflict. Both should be deleted because the first one is conflicted by the second one, and the second one is a Zero Content Example on top of being Flame Bait as it's written.

Fanon Discontinuity, when on a work's YMMV page, applies only if a significant portion of the fandom does not count part of the work as being in continuity. For example, The Matrix Reloaded is often considered Fanon Discontinuity by fans of The Matrix. Judging from the wording of the Addams Family example, the reunion episode does qualify as Fanon Discontinuity.

There is no requirement for the majority to consider it discontinuity, only for a significant portion to do so. There is no set definition of "significant", so there's a little wiggle room here.
