A Villain is a person who has committed a crime meeting the Specifications for Warranting a Page. They are people or groups who committed serious crimes like rape, murder, war crimes, domestic or child abuse, genocide, major league drugs or weapons trafficking or torture. They are NOT people who hold controversial opinions, no matter how reprehensible. They are also not minor criminals who have committed crimes like fraud or vandalism, or people who are not proven guilty.
Criteria
- They must be provably guilty. They cannot have an article if they are alleged to commit a crime.
- They must have committed a serious crime, and not just be disliked or hold controversial opinions.
- They cannot be an Internet user who has never been mentioned on the news.
- Rational people cannot be able to dispute whether or not they are a villain.
- All facts must be verifiable and come from reliable sources (this includes mainstream media, books, historical accounts, etc.).
- Similarly, they must have been mentioned in the media (especially from the mainstream media), the one exception being ancient villains who lived before the media, in which case credible historical accounts will suffice. This is due to Tim's Message.
- Political ideology cannot be a factor in deciding that they are a villain (except in extreme cases where the page deals with a dictator).
