All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XI

EDIT: Better, yet, it's now a list of pages in CategoryBig Grineath Tropes that don't use the deathtrope template.

Hmmm. As I understand it, the idea is that characters dying is pretty much always a spoiler, so it's pointless to have spoiler markup on death trope pages, because then everything would be spoilered.

There's a couple there that seem like they're more often the setup for the story than a reveal within it, though - Humanity's Wake, Death Takes a Holiday, maybe Celestial Bureaucracy? Starts with a Suicide, for the most part.

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is.

That's a lot of Real Life examples... Which would be worse, removing the category or doing an Example Sectionectomy?

I'm not seeing anything that obviously triggers my "Yeah, we don't want examples like this" sense. (Although one I'm not sure is actually an example of the trope at all.) Removing the category sounds fine to me.
