Is this page needed?
I do have to raise the question, as I personally have a bit of a qualm over what purpose this will serve. Most lists have a clear one, whereas - with no offence intended - I'm struggling to see one for this. And I do wonder if having a page to list deaths is a tenable list given the body counts in some stories, rather than something that would just be bloated & lacking in purpose.
And having a EVERYBODY LIVES section for stories that don't fit the list certainly doesn't make sense to me. You don't find a way to fit stories into a list that the criteria or topic isn't applicable for. JDPManjoume ☎ 17:42, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
