No. It is not a rule, nor is it "common sense". The template was being removed because the articles have already beeen discussed and have confirmed inclusion (as you saw by Austin removing the templates). Threatening reporting me for upholding wiki standards and threatening banning is not the way to negotiate. Furthermore, your actions are eerily similar to a banned user, who also made up rules about templates to have the pages he didn't like removed, so now suspicion exists of you being a sockpuppet. If you question a page's inclusion, make sure it is for a legitamate reason and do it in a more tasteful manner next time.

In this specific case, the characters are included for being fictional villains, regardless of what means or messages they were used to convey. Most of these characters have information on their pages regarding the reasons for their inclusions;  I suggest you read them before marking them for deletion.
