Translations of it are normal sentences.

Is an idiomatic expression in most languages. Shouldn't be deleted IMHO.

Could simply be tagged 'literal translation' if it's - surprisingly - not natural in English. Surprisingly because it's so extremely common.

"Over my dead body", at least as a response, is a perfectly valid sentence.

Ironic example: https://youtu.be/XXH12xUApOg?t=90 1:30-1:41

It would make a better example if put in a dialog as suggested in the guidelines.

Note that one of the Japanese items is a complete sentence, even though it's attached to this non-sentence utterance.
