This term can be found at the secondary source  http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KillScreen tvtropes.org, which while not a reliable source itself, shows that the term has been around since the 8-bit game days. The term appears in sources like an http://www.digra.org/wp-content/uploads/digital-library/11312.44329.pdf academic paper and the  http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=deBFx7QAwsQC&oi=fnd&pg=PA469&dq=%22Kill+screen%22&ots=IPyp2g0YRf&sig=8i-1Kgd7BoHDbU6ab29lkk6P_YU#v=onepage&q=%22Kill%20screen%22&f=false Encyclopedia of Video Games. There is a http://killscreendaily.com/ gaming magazine named after this concept. The documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters talks about kill screens in Donkey Kong http://blog.utest.com/classic-games-classic-bugs/2009/07/.Along with others' source finds, there is a case for marginal notability, although this is on the basis of many modest sources, not a couple of in-depth ones. I agree that some of the detail in the article may be excessive and could be summarized. But this is a matter of normal editing and a  problem
