List of film supervillains[edit]

No sources, extremely poorly formatted, woefully incomplete and lacking context to the list entries. I do not see how this article serves an encyclopedic purpose. JDDJS (talk) 20:47, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Falls under listcruft even if someone attempted to complete it; and the definition of a film "supervillain" is arbitrary. I certainly wouldn't call Godzilla a supervillain by the definition I know of - he is simply a monster who rampages indiscriminately, and is even a hero at points in the series._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:56, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant Delete - I think it's pretty funny (but then I think a lot of articles are pretty funny) So, since 2008 this article has existed and even edited by a bunch of good faith editors? It still lacks refs. It still could become a referenced article by 2028. The list is also pretty incomplete. If someone wants to recreate it at some point with refs I can see it being a notable topic. But not right now. (Godzilla was a hero?) Barbara ✐ ✉ 01:40, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It is unsourced and the definition of supervising is arbitrary so it looks like original research. The topic may be notable, though, but not in the current form. Gianvito Scaringi (talk) 18:49, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete too subjective and not specific, most films have a vilain of some sort, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 19:15, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Rolling Stone notwithstanding, films have villains and comics have supervillains. Go figure. In any case, as Atlantic306 has noted, the vast majority of films have villains. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:01, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. At present it really lacks the specific reasonable point for preserving it as a stand-alone article. D4iNa4 (talk) 17:26, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Pointless. Deb (talk) 17:30, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please have a look also at List of black supervillains. If this one is deleted, that should be deleted too (Afd discussion is open there too) Gianvito Scaringi (talk) 17:35, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
