This isn't the first time bigbossbalrog has engaged in improper troper behaviour, as demonstrated in my ATT query here. Between adding back entries and refusing to participate in discussions questionning the validity of these entries, I think they need a wake-up call. Also, poor indentation on their part.

That trope is also No Examples Please so they violated the TOS even BEFORE they edit-warred over it.

It's actually No On-Page Examples, having it on a work's YMMV page is allowed.

As a fan of Dark Souls and its lore, I'm adding my 2 cents regarding the validity of the examples.

I agree with Albert 3105, most of the examples cited are fan theories, not known to be canon. There may be some evidence for them, but they are not confirmed and there are alternate explanations for each. Dark Souls can be frustrating like that, there's a lot that's intentionally left murky and ambiguous.

Except the bit about Dusk, that counts as going completely against canon (Dusk in the canon game is nothing but kind).

Nevertheless, bigbossbalrog has swapped a Broken Base entry into Internet Backdraft once on that page after it got deleted, and now has reverted Albert3105's deletions despite being the original poster; these are all skirting into Edit War territory. I can't trust them with being reasonable in a discussion.

So what's the next course of action? Ping over Balrog for discussion?
