I'd like to put things simply: Armin stated repeatedly that his plan would lead to his death, and that he was leaving his dream to see the ocean to Eren. Then he was burned to death. Then he fell to his death. Then Eren referred to him in the past tense. Then the closing narration of the chapter stated that he had left his dream to Eren. That's a lot of evidence that he is dead. What evidence do we have that he is alive? None. Sure, there is the argument that Levi has Titan Serum that can be used on Armin, but that's ignoring the fact that Levi and Armin are on opposite sides of Wall Maria, Levi's 3DMG gear is almost out of gas, and Levi is dead-set on using the serum to revive Erwin (who, I might add, is much closer to Levi's position than Armin is).

Also, I don't think that the wiki's poll is any indication of whether or not Isayama will choose to spare Armin. And that's not even accounting for the fact that most of the voters were likely voting for who they wanted to see revived (Armin), not for who was most likely to be revived.

As for Moblit, I don't really see what needs to be discussed (especially after Hange's return in the recent chapter). Yes, we didn't explicitly see him die in Bertl's explosion, but we did see him among the ranks of the dead Survey Corps soldiers in Erwin's vision. Now, I'll admit that Erwin had no way of knowing who was alive and who wasn't, but Isayama did, and since he included Moblit among the dead, and not the (now confirmed to be alive) Hange, it is safe to assume that this was his way of confirming that Moblit had perished. Not to mention the fact that Hange seemed to be alone during her return, which doesn't exactly improve Moblit's odds of survival.

So, to summarize? Armin is dead because there isn't anything (anything!) to prove that he is alive, other than fan theories, and Moblit is dead because Isayama said so.
