That's not the case at all and if you think so, then you're either missing the point or are misinformed. The point is that he is a flawed anti-hero and not an outright, malicious villain like Soto is and was just a proxy for Soto's crew. The moment he joins Manny and Sid on their adventure, he becomes visibly reluctant about letting them walk into a trap and knows for a fact that what he's doing is wrong and willingly helps Manny and Sid throughout the movie. He had an internal conflict, while Soto and his crew didn't, who set the villainous grounds for the film. And if you want to call Diego a "villain", then keep in mind that he only plays a full-on morally dubious role for not even a 10th of Ice Age's length, so he certainly isn't a villain overall and nor is he mostly remembered as being one (maybe an antagonist at best, initially). If we wanted to include morally dubious anti-heroes on the Wiki, then we should ideally be looking at characters like the Punisher if anything. Um, Diego's deletion log practically says that the only reason his page was deleted was because he redeemed himself. It gave no other reasons.
