Antivillain

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a non-notable neologism. The two sources in the article both refer to a single example - an actor who coined the term to refer to another actor's character. The article disagrees with itself as to what the term antivillain means and there are no sources providing a definition for the term. Edward321 (talk) 22:57, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete per nom. I tried deleting this in the past, but it was called Anti-villain at the time, so its not showing up on the log. Anyway, the term is valid, but I don't think there's enough solid information to back up an entire article.--CyberGhostface (talk) 23:02, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete as above. Over a year has past since this article underwent AFD, and it still does not cite a single source that defines the term anti-villain. The article, as it stands, is original research. I used Google to search Project Muse and JSTOR, and neither database has any hits. There are a few hits on Google Books, but nothing that actually defines the term. Until this term ends up in Webster's or the OED or is written about by a film or literary scholar—it just doesn't pass the test when it comes to sources.Fixer1234 (talk) 01:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
