^ McLeach is a poacher, animal abuser, and attempted child murderer, who also tortured said child for kicks before attempting to finally do him in. He had no redeeming qualities and within his scale and with his resources, he was as bad as he possibly could be. He's easily one of Disney's CM villains.

And Piedmon massacred a group of digital beings, led the Dark Masters in tearing apart and distorting the Digital World (which resulted in many deaths, with we see with Sukamon in Chumon's flashback), skewered Chumon with a knife that he was aiming for Mimi, wiped out a village filled with baby Digimon and Digieggs to prevent rebirth, and when he wasn't trying to murder children, he was trying to seal their souls into keychains, thus giving them a Fate Worse Than Death. And he was positively giddy about all of this, showcasing no redeeming qualities. That's why he qualifies. (Machinedramon has culpability in that first crime of Piedmon's I mentioned and has his own set of heinous deeds, which qualify him too.)

"and the ones who upvote are likely going to be consisting of a lot of people who don't fully understand this trope and are insistent on tagging anything slightly beyond generic evil as a CM, which I am sad to say this wiki is bloated with."

And I'm sad to see this pretentious attitude towards the trope that TV Tropes has adopted show up on this wiki. The thing is, the person who created this trope initially intended it to be defined as "a pure evil, irredeemable villain who fills characters and auidence members with fear, hatred, and revulsion", but when that became too broad and vague a qualification, it was changed to "a pure evil, irredeemable villain who's heinous by the standards of the work and is devoid of redemptive qualities". In terms of a villain like Turbo, I can't see how he does NOT fit that bill. The whole "but he doesn't reach baseline heinousness" is quite frankly an Asspull to disqualify someone because a "baseline of heinousness" is mentioned NOWHERE on the trope's main page, definition, and listed criteria. By what the definition tells us the trope is, a villain like Turbo counts. Period. If you believe Syndrome can count, then by the same subjective logic, so can Turbo. And all those other ones mentioned that you disagreed with.
