Real  quick: If theological and mythological villains are being removed (which I completely agree with, BTW), it will probably eventually call into question Urban Legends, Creepypastas, and Folklore. Though these characters and monsters are most likely (and usually are) fictional, there are small groups that MAY belive them to be real.

For example, Slender Man. The creator of the character confimed that he was (obviously) fictional, but there are small groups that truely belive he exists. I don't know what would be done, but I'm just bringing it to you guys' attention now so you'll know what to do if and when it ever comes up. same deal as the Darth Vader question, if a character becomes a cultural figure over many generations - yes.. this will not apply to any internet ghost-story in our lifetimes.

there's a belief in everything, some people believe ALL fiction is real due to multiverse theory - it doesn't mean we'll delete every page on this wiki.. we need a balance somewhere and for now I'd say "big name deities" (which have been revered for centuries) are the main offenders.
