We do not use outside, third-party sources for determining whether a character is a Complete Monster. Please see Administrivia.Complete Monster for specific guidelines for proposing characters for the trope.

To quote the particular answer for the question you're asking:

We don't care what other sites think. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

EDIT: Also, sorry, but weren't you suspended for continuously bringing up this very topic in the Complete Monster discussion thread?

Since when is Villainswiki a reliable source of info?

You could make a drinking game out of all the times they shove clearly alive and healthy characters into the "Presumed Deceased" category. Or articles that are about generic thugs and non-villain antagonists despite its own front page saying those are against the rules. Or the times they derail an article to ramble about how this villain is similar to another villain, to the point that it practically becomes a second page for the other character. Or giving articles to inanimate objects or characters that don't actually exist.

Hate sites were always doomed to fail. The only thing that can make someone hate a franchise with total certainty is the franchise itself.

third party sites don't count on the trope listing if the site is unrelated to the work.

Like the others said, the opinions of some other site don't matter to us, what matters is the criteria.
