YMMV items can only be removed for trope misuse or being factually inaccurate. If it is a fact it was meant to be Bathos and not Narm, the entry can be fixed. If one person sees it as Narm and another as Bathos, both can be on the page, since it is Your Mileage May Vary, and it's all about opinions properly stated.

Fair enough.

There's one page where the work in question has a very particular form of British bathos done to make you smile during an otherwise hard hitting drama scene, but somebody listed it as Narm rather than Bathos, which missed the point of the scene where it's supposed to make you laugh.

That seems like a plain trope mistake; I'd move it to Bathos.
