I feel like the fanbase is so obsessed with making the story more brutal than it is, that they are taking huge liberties with who is dead or not.

Sasha isn't "unknown", she is alive, at least for the time being as she was just on screen. No potentially lethal damage was shown being done to Ymir, and a bunch of minor characters like Samuel and Hannah, so I don't know why they are labeled as "unknown" rather than "alive", just like with all the other soldiers who haven't taken lethal damage on screen.

Armin and Moblit aren't "dead", they are unknown. Supposedly Moblit got owned by the explosion but we don't have proof of it. It's easy enough to wait and see who actually makes it out of the mess, and if Moblit is absent then by all means, call him dead, but where is his body? Seeing as how Hange took what appears to be no damage, we may have overestimated the "Bert-bomb".

Armin doesn't look good, but nobody has even checked on his condition. His heart could be still beating as he is near death, and given the serum X factor, it could be an embarrassing error.

Read this article too regarding Armin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_death

And this picture: blood can be still flowing through the vessels between his muscles: http://www.jhunewsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/b8arm_transplant.jpg

And seeing as 55% of votes say that the serum will be used on Armin, the majority of the people that visit this site don't think that the characters will take Armin for dead, so why does the wiki? Armin's death is essentially a prediction at this point, a headcanon, of which I don't see the utility of inscribing into the wiki.
