Would making DEATH BATTLE! Recurring Trends be allowed? I've seen people who are against it, and others who are on the fence about it.

IMO, fan speculations and observations should remain in WMG. Death Battle's trivia page is a mess anyway and needs a cleanup.
So, on the Death Battle Trivia page, the "Recurring trends and fan speculations" folder was removed as it made the page too long (the removal is under recent history), and possibly for being too speculative for trivia. This is understandable.
I was thinking that it could be brought back, but... as a Death Battle WMG subpage called "DEATH BATTLE! Recurring Trends", with the examples rephrased to fit the WMG format? After all, fan speculation could fit as a WMG, and I believe it fits more than as a Trivia trope as several trends are... quite inaccurate, to say the least.
We could get WM Gs of "Any fighter who attacks the other before the battle begins proper (before "FIGHT!!" appears) will lose", then have a list of confirmed and jossed examples.
