It happens. Invoke NRLEP and people will call it meta and add it anyway. Happened when we removed real life and fanworks examples from the Steven Universe sugar wiki pages too.

Should it be removed?

Definitely, they are in flagrant violation of the NRLEP rule. We don't need to list every famous person who dies.

Since I removed a different post earlier regarding real life deaths on the page, is it allowed for me to do so again?

Since it's multiple tropers, I removed the section and added a commented-out note advising that meta/real-life is not permitted.

Speaking of that page, I found this example:

  • The credits song. God, the credits song. The overwhelming feeling of nostalgia combined with what the show is nowadays, if you're on the "new seasons are bad" boat, it will make you misty-eyed.

It seems like it's an attempt to sneak in complaining about how the new seasons suck.
