If only this was a binary option between "dead" and "alive", that may actually be an argument. However we don't know, hence un-known.

If you look at the chapter myopically, the theme is Armin dying (if you ignore Hange's miraculous reappearance), but if you look at the whole story as one piece, there is actually extremely strong reason to believe he will survive somehow. And if he were to survive, it would probably mean he never officially dies, rather than he dies and is brought back to life, but either are possible.

None of your "facts" equate to dying in that short of a period of time, buddy. Nothing happened to him that would cause instant death (as in the heart completely stopping so that serum wouldn't be able to make it across the body), even in the "real world".

How about this?

Keep Armin dead in your wiki, and if he doesn't actually die, change the way you do statuses so that in the future characters in predicaments such as Armin's are listed as "unknown" rather than "dead" so you don't make the same mistake over and over again.
