Understand that wikis are like *countries*. The Laws(rules) of one are not necessarily true or observed in ones next to it. So what policies one/other wikis define have little import to the policies of this one. Their definitions for "villain" are and can be looser than ours. Think of any item IRL. You can find a few of them at gas station stores & convenience stores, a better selection at neighborhood and supermarket stores, but even more selections and better qualities at superstores (Walmart, KMart, etc), and then the most opportunities at item-superstores where their entire stock is "item, item, and nothing but item".

Well, Villains is "Villians, Villains, and nothing but Villains". That is the intent. The problem comes from the fact that like all wikis, VW is *crowd-sourced* since Fandom/Wikia's motto is "Anyone can edit". Add to that admins are *volunteers* working on their own eclectic schedules, and that means that things can and have slipped past the rules for a while.

What other wikis and sites have to say about a character has little importance here. Especially TVTropes. There may be some agreements, but we do not always go by them. People just need to learn that "antagonist" is not exactly the same as "villain". Like an SUV is not a sedan. Similar, but not exactly the same.
