matter how many people disagree? It seems there is a much higher threshold for getting a character removed than put on. This seems 180 degree opposite to the way it needs to be. In order to provide reasonably accurate information, then it seems that there should be some consensus on the justification. Leatherface, Hannibal, Freddy ... these are villains, not anitheroes! What did Freddy ever do that was heroic? He was a clever-witted villain, but that hardly makes him heroic. Likewise, Hannibal was never interested in helping anyone. Likewise, I am a great fan of "Seinfeld", but I fail to see how George Castanza should be on the list. He may have been a sympathetic character, but heroic (saving the beached whale not withstanding)? On the other hand, what about Andy Sipowicz from "NYPD Blue". At least in the early seasons, his alcoholism was his demon, and his flaws are what set the show apart and redefined the cop drama; in some ways, it ushered in an era of antihero dramas ... but I cannot definitely say that Sipowicz that he was an antihero b/c, beyond drinking (and his temper) what were his flaws. He could, in fact, be construed as a traditional hero, or at least in the mold of Batman. Back to the original point ... it seems that more consideration could be given to him, and to others, and the list could be pruned!

an opinion expressed in any Encyclopedia article, if only editorial policy such as what to include, the form that articles must have, etc. From the aricle history you seem to act as de facto editor (in the publishing sense not just WP sense) for that article. Well, when you look down that list, you don't get a sense of what a anti-hero is. You seem to subscribe to the idea that it is not definable. That's proper not for an encyclopedia neither for an editor. It's not too bad for me but too bad for the article and ultimately too bad for the readers. That's who the article should be written for. Being a protagonist is not enough to take on heroic qualities. You cannot gloss over the fact that the public in general doesn't see Lecter as a anti-hero and that this is enough to make the categorisation wrong. This categorisation is clearly your opinion and you chose the excuse that another said it to impose it. I don't intend to bother with an article that is someone's private ground.--
4418:
AH, that's sufficient; but that does not account for the fact that the writer of the article is a) espousing POV themselves and b) may be confused over the meaning to begin with (again, Freddy and Batman are prime examples). While most of the list is accurate, I don't believe many people would find Freddy to be heroic in any capacity; Batman is a little more gray, but seems to be a traditional hero. Yes someone cited them as AH in an article, but ... circular argument. I agree that, because it can be subjective, that one person should not get "veto power". But is it not reasonable to offer up any contradiction to discussion on this page (with or w/o a caveat on the main page)? Sfter a period of time, a consensus is liable to emerge. In the event of lack of agreement, then the default action would be to leave it posted (again, possibly w/ a qualifier). This would be a simple check-and-balance and a compromise to many who have raised the issue over the years. Just an idea.

a list of fictional anti-heros is almost ridiculous in itself, but clearly ill-informed people don't understand what an anti-hero really is and movie reviews(which, I might add, don't really take any kind of journalist training to write and does not make a person a professional critic) and other examples I gave previously fall into this category. All I am saying, and I know that plenty of other people agree, is that if you and your friend want to take the role of "main editors," use some common sense. I would actually have no problem with non-cited examples because of the nature of Knowledge (XXG), but because this is important to the two of you, maybe you should make it a little more professional. I have no qualms with the fact that you insist there should be sources. (And by the way, not all academic papers are biased. English, Philosophy, and other subjective arts might be, but scientific papers make it a point to avoid bias.)

anti-heroe list. The right thing to do would be to ask the creator of that character and find out what he thinks, then conduct a voting to see if that caracter really is an anti-heroe and be included in the list. But if we did that, we would all grow nice and long beards and our social life would be reduced to 0. So, even tough I might think a character X is not an antiheroe, if someone whose opinion is relevant thinks this character X is in fact an anti-heroe, then it is has the right to be listed here, and to be removed, the relevant person who thinks character X is an anti-heroe should be convinced otherwise, not us here in wikipedia. Until the day comes that we have an easy way to define an anti-heroe (word that keeps changing as our society also does) we will have to keep a very long, inacurate list.
503:? I think, comparing video games to literature, that playability is equal to readability, and the games story is a moot point. Many books have been made into games, and even vice versa. I feel they belong as much as any other fictional characters. Second, demanding citations for everything is just silly. How would you citate something like this? Is there an official bureau for the listing anti-heroes? Which "source" would "people" find "credible"? Think about it... it is like demanding a source on the statement that most people like candy. Okay, exaggarated example, but you get my drift. As for new additions to the list running the risk of coming out of control... well, it is always modifiable and we can discuss the inclusions to a great degree on this very page. -- 2897:
not unbiased. Period. Neither are booklists or movielists (even in a newspaper), personal webpages, or descriptions of movies or books by a retailer. I don't know what you learned in fifth grade about research papers, but that doesn't cut it. That's the worst thing about an open-source encyclopedia. Anyone can edit it or take over a page and constantly edit it to their liking, and they don't know shit about research and un-biased journalism. And for christ-shakes! The US education system needs to put more effort into their teaching of correct grammar, spelling, and punctation! (And don't either of you try to give me "we have the disclaimer" crap. That disclaimer invalidates the whole source idea. You don't want
4497:"reliable sources only" - anything with a source is being accepted unconditionally, with no one checking to see that the sources are reliable. I don't remember all the precise nuances of the sourcing policies, but some of the entries are sourced only by sites so obviously unreliable that they make blogs look like the pinnacle of accuracy by comparison (and there's at least a few blogs among the crop too), and some other source links lead to 404 errors. Recall that the sourcing policy requires that sources be vaguely reputable sites, not just the results of a Google search for anti-hero and a character's name. Examples of bad sources include 141 and 150 (seriously, how did a source with "Animated Lust" in the 2535:
Alex DeLarge's source states "Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan from the Dirty Harry movies is fourth , ahead of Alex DeLarge, played by Malcolm McDowell, from controversial film A Clockwork Orange". He's not even the focus of the article, and its mentioned briefly. Holden Caulfield's? "...was intercut with a series of short films that featured an actor playing Salinger's adolescent antihero, Holden Caulfield." Yet again, only a 'passing reference'. For Snape: "It may be that we have finally seen which way the wind is blowing with the brooding anti-hero Professor Snape." Yet again, another passing reference. I could go on and find some more, but you get the picture.
4484:
consensus. It boils down to this, keep this list sourced and it will stay (hopefully), let it become a list of original research and POV and it will be deleted quickly. Sources are also good because most of the "obvious" anti-heroes we'd all agree on have a source out there anyway, you just have to look for a bit. The drawback is that some more controversial ones also appear. I believe the points you raise are discussed elsewhere on this page (specifically POV of reviewers vs POV of WP editors, and inclusion through consensus). Personally, I like the list, I think it's useful, and I think following this system is the only way it will stay on Knowledge (XXG). --

comes across as a self-pitying jackass who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions." It occured to me that although it suggests he isn't an anti hero, the fact is he is described as having the same characteristics as one. I found some other official reviews, but they don't specifically mention the phrase "anti hero" and are therefore no more or less help than that review. Also seeing as Solid Snake claiming to fight for himself and no one else is a quote from the game, does that need a website as a reference? Or will just stating that its referencing a quote in the game do?
5029:(2) It is actively misleading. The definition of anti-hero, as given on wikipedia, requires that the character be a protagonist. This page includes the phrase "Characteristics in protagonists that merit such a label include...", which further infers that an anti-hero must be a protagonist. Therefore, a reader of the article could very easily conclude, for example, that Gollum is the (or a) protagonist of Lord of the Rings. That is factually incorrect, although of course it's hard to find an article that states specifically that Gollum isn't a protagonist. 4892:. I've found that many people don't think he's an anti-heroe because he's a normal guy (actually, more of a mediocre guy). People tend to think that anti-heroe is a very powerful (heroic) guy but that is selfish and egocentric, doing good things only if he gets some profit off them. That would be a kind of anti-heroe, but not the only one; an antiheroe might also be some mediocre guy who runs away from his problems instead of fearlessly confronting them. I will provide the sources for this one, but I'd prefer someone added it, since I'm no expert at it. 4885:
there are like 7 or 8. I'm not sure we can use their sources since they are most possibly in spanish, but I'm going to list some of them, so we can get up there on this list some anime and manga characters who are clear stereotypes of what an antiheroe would be (properly sourced and verified). As a quick comment, the fact that manga and comic are considered diferent things, I find useful, since many manga have their anime version and listing it all together saves having the same guy in diferent places.
2047:
I'm removing ones that are not, in fact, sources. The Independent source says, "Iago- He's the worst villain of all," and nothing about being an anti-hero. Ditto for the writersstore.com, which is about Othello being an anti-hero. The random geocities page (questionable as a source to begin with...) also says nothing about Iago as an anti-hero, and talks at length about what a great villain he is. That being said, the thestage.co.uk, dailyinfo.co.uk and filmeducation.org sources all, bafflingly enough,
488:. In addition, video games are generally not included in literary/fictional canon, as they are very subjective and not critically reviewed in the same context as literature, film, or even television. At this rate the list will probably continue to grow without any sources being added and eventually be nominated for deletion. Try to provide references or sources for existing examples, or remove them, before adding even more if you want the list to last. Just some advice, and my own opinions. -- 3632:
Snape is whom I could view as the arch-typical anti-hero. I would also cite The Punisher over Batman due to the latter’s qualms about killing. Batman’s reluctance to kill is a traditional hero standard that The Punisher eschews in order to bring about his sense of justice. By setting a standard for what characters should be included as anti-heroes and adding only characters that fit the definition will we properly demonstrate our definition, which is the purpose of this list/article.
1750:
protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities" As he matches ALL those definitions, he can be clasified as an antihero. The only main characteristic he has is his pride. His honor itself is merely an aspect of his pride. Before you start wondering WHY all those definitions, I have wondered the same, and I must admit, they can be confusing. It seems to me that the only type of character who can't be classified as an antihero is a traditional hero.
307:
Paradise Lost. I'm not sure if Milton intended to make him an anti-hero, but it sure seemed that way to me when I first read the thing in college. I didn't want to edit this choice into the main page because as an atheist living in the USA, a major source of wikipedia readers, I know only too well how easily this religious stuff sets off flame wars on the internet. People might have problems with me labeling Satan as a "hero," or that I've put him into a list of
2611:), but I think you see where I'm going. Can you require literary sources (which would assume credibility) for this kind of thing; is that against wikipedia rules? Anyways, this is just one idea on how to cleanup. Like I said, my intention is just to reflect anti-hero accurately. I guess I really don't care if some quasi-antiheroes are on there, but some clear 'good' examples would really elevate the list in my opinion. Any other ideas to achieve the goal?-- 31: 3771:
right? I understand what your trying to say. But read that article. It's not even about Hitch Hikers guide, Arthur Dent is mentioned in one sentence, the term "anti-hero" is thrown in willy nilly without any statement to back up how Arthur Dent is actually an anti-hero. I'm all for properly sourced facts, but this is not a fact, it's a poor source, it doesn't support it's case at all. Don't you understand? This should totally be removed.
4693:
of reminding myself of the value of fantasy (at that time, I had never been published; never written any fantasy, and almost never read any worthwhile fantasy; Tolkien, Lewis and Peake were the exceptions). So I certainly was not looking for any kind of antidote for Hobbittitis. I was looking for Donaldson -- trying to explore the kinds of things that moved/excited/convinced me, with as little reference as possible to anybody else.
806:. Although I haven't seen the films in question, I'm guessing the characters qualify as anti-heroes not because of redemptive qualities but simply because they are the focus of the films, the same justification is used for others like Shakespeare's Richard III, and the two mentioned above. The term "anti-hero" is a complex term and can be applied to a vast array of characters, regardless of their relative moral reprehensibility. -- 1137:
pointed out, seems dubious and 3DRealms even disparages it. The main thing is just pulling a quote from reputable, large scale sites like gamespot or ipc (I'm not too sure about video games but those seem the most reputable). Getting sources is just a formality (and with video games it's slightly more lenient) but it helps maintain higher standards, and with obvious cases you can usually find a source pretty quickly. --
2022:
dead, and the other's only reference to Iago at all is the line, "'Othello' is focused on jealousy and is all about the destruction of the Moor by his servant, Iago." Which is a paragraph discussing characters like MacBeth or Othello as anti-heroes. So, unless there's some new school of thought reimagining Iago as an anti-hero instead of Othello (and can be cited), I think he's a misleading and bad example.
2199:
own personal opinion. There are a lot of characters here who I don't like. Am I going to remove them? No, because they have sources. And there are a lot characters I'd like to add, but am I? No, because I can't find any sources. Which is why it bothers me when people try to remove cited entries on the basis of their own personal opinion. Whether or not you think Leatherface or Tony Soprano or Hannibal or
2355:"In fiction, the anti-hero is the protagonist who is lacking the traditional heroic attributes and qualities — courage, idealism, fortitude — and possessed of character traits — ineptness, stupidity, dishonesty — that are antithetical to heroism. Typically, the anti-hero acts heroically, in scale and daring, but by methods, manners, and intentions both fair and foul, even underhanded and deceitful." 540:". With popular culture the standards for sources are much more lenient, but verifiability with something as inherently subjective as this is still important. It doesn't need to be a government, United Nations, or Harvard document to qualify as a reliable source, but we still need an external source and simply discussing every objectionable addition here would still amount to original research. 4502:
hundred sources, but more importantly because all I'd be able to get rid of are the most obvious glaring problems, and then you'd go back to just rubber-stamping anything with a source. I'm leaving them for the article's dedicated caretakers to clean up so you can see just how bad it is and not only fix everything but adopt a more critical policy toward additions in the future.
2922:. I didn't come up with that rule, the community did. In regards to the claim that movie reviews are biased, that's arguable and depends on your definition of bias but of course they are opinion-oriented, most (or arguably all) articles/academic papers/reviews inherently are since they represent the views of the author. You're correct that a single person cannot single handedly 1040:, a well known video game character, be an anti-hero? I mean he's willing to save the world from destruction but has a lot of flaws such as his love for constant drinking, cigar smoking, gun firing, alien killing and destruction, and womanization of strippers and prostitutes as well as generally arrogant, cocky, and seemingly carefree attitude about things. What do you think? 2669:
the list. The reason the list is imperfect and includes some objectionable examples is due to the problems inherent in the usage of the term "anti-hero" in popular discourse which is beyond our control. This list never has been and never will be perfect, but maintaining the Knowledge (XXG) standard of verifiability is what has and will (hopefully) keep it alive.
2990:
through your actions and even the very fact that you felt you must justify yourself telling a person they couldn't add something to a domain that is not your own. Other than that, I have no problem with sources, it's the type of stuff that you consider sources. (And your well-endowed user page shows your presence on Knowledge (XXG) is not merely passing.)
4440:
why similar articles have been deleted in the past was that people just added and removed characters at random because they agreed/disagreed with their placement on the list. If we get to the point where we decide to remove characters because we disagree with their placement (even if we 'vote') then we're just back to the same place as before.--
3581:
heroic ends and questionable means. This is also why I disagree with Knowledge (XXG)’s stance on neutrality relating to this article. If people are referencing this article for an understanding of what an anti-hero is and using Gollum from Lord of the Rings as an example compared with Severus Snape from Harry Potter they might become confused.
219:. As I said, it's rare, and usually used incorrectly, but occasionally actual people (in politics and entertainment mostly) are dubbed anti-heroes, usually based on public persona. I'm not surprised that someone was unconvinced, but it happens, and adding "fictional" to the title doesn't really have any drawbacks in my opinion. -- 2501:
point as you accurately stated is moot. I did not edit the list, nor would I edit the list without consensus (as some may strongly feel he is an antihero). Even simply removing , and would be preferable, as those citations, in my opinion, are so illegitimate as to detract from the argument for Leatherface’s inclusion.--
2279:
second purpose. It would be very hard to even argue that he is the protagonist, much less the hero of the films. I will admit that I have only seen the original film and the new prequel, but, unless the old sequels or new version pose some drastic overhaul of his character, he needs to be stricken from this list. -CawH
138: 3540:. I don't know if any of those links are valid. The first two don't call him such, wiki pages aren't used for sources, and I don't think the youtube videos (which I haven't viewed yet) would be good either unless its of a creator/reviewer calling him one. I did a quick google search for you but nothing valid came up.-- 5022:
person did write an article entitled "Mary Poppins is an anti-hero" (not impossible - they may be saying, for example, that Mary Poppins' old fashioned values are the antithesis of what we expect from a 21st century hero), there would be no article to contradict is. This would, of course, not imply consensus.
5021:
It's also worth pointing out that it's basically impossible for a counterpoint to that statement "x is an anti-hero" to exist in an article. For example, nobody is going to write an article saying "Mary Poppins is not an anti-hero", simply because it's something that everyone knows already. So if one
4692:
In writing COVENANT, I was certainly aware that I was working in Tolkien's shadow (after all, his shadow covers most of the field). But I took LORD OF THE RINGS as a source of inspiration, rather than as any kind of counter-argument or antithesis. I read Tolkien while I was planning COVENANT as a way
4439:
The article doesn't pretend to be undisputed fact. The 'disclaimer' points out that these characters have all been identified as an antihero by a critic, but that the definition is subjective, and that the identifications may be disputed and/or contradict the known definition. One of the main reasons
3810:
I know for a fact that Winslow Leach from 'Phantom of the Paradise' is an anti-hero. He's the protagonist of the film; he is falsely imprisoned, has his teeth removed, and after a horrible accident he is disfigured and forced to hide in a costume in the attic of a discoteck. Further bad things happen
3297:
ben Linus is an anti-villain, not anti-hero. He is certainly the main antagonist of Lost and doesn't do gestures by non-heroic deeds. He is noble and does what he thinks is right for the wrong reasons. He's certainly not an anti-hero, although he does have potential to become one. He is by definition
3188:
If I recall, wasn't Alastor casted as the Anti-Hero for Viewtiful Joe? I think the game might have even stated so, as it has a tendency to mock itself for being cliche in regards to silver-screen archetypes. I know that if Leatherface through some twisted mockery of the definition of Anti-hero can be
3008:
Of course I assumed that you were speaking to me. You write "two people on here seem to have enough time to decide what gets posted". Me and TM are the two main contributors to this article. I think Doczilla pops up to regulate it but not as much. Unless you wouldn't mind telling me who else "the two
2989:
That's interesting that you automatically assumed I was speaking of you. Obviously you do think that you have some authority over the page, when it is a open-source encyclopedia of which no one should consider themselves the main editor. I'm not putting words into your mouth, I am simply explaining
2979:
characters I don't like who I haven't touched on account of there being valid sources. The only personal bias I see are people trying to remove cited entries based on their personal preferences. As for having enough time to moderate this page...it literally takes all of five seconds to check the most
2668:
First off I agree that Leatherface is not an anti-hero, but as has been repeated to death on this talk page, the opinions of editors do not factor into the inclusion of characters. Only including examples backed up by a reliable source is the strength (and sometimes, as in this case, the weakness) of
2568:
I just want the list to reflect the true definition of anti-hero, which as defined on the list itself is unclear. I really would like input as to what you think, as you seem to disagree with a lot of the so-called 'anti-heroes' placement as well. Do you know if there is an anti-villain list (as many
2070:
Sorry for misinterpreting you then...there have been numerous cases where people try to remove cited additions from this list because people don't like them, so I just jumped to the wrong conclusion. As for editing the Iago article, I did add a quote from Andy Serkis that somewhat shows him more than
2046:
felt like he didn't belong, that's just how I noticed it. I removed it because of the two sources, one was dead and the other said nothing about Iago being an anti-hero. I don't think I did anything wrong by "acting this way" and removing unsourced references. Anyway, as for the sources you've added,
1689:
Sorry about that earlier post. But, as the rules go, you need at least one reliable source. If not, anyone can add anyone just because they think they fit the criteria. I've never played Star Fox, but Wolf does seem to fit the criteria, so finding a source should be easy. But adding a character based
1667:
Honestly, it is ridiculous to require a source other than the game itself. The video game is a primary source openly displaying anti-heroic qualities for Wolf O'Donnell (The rest of his team is iffy, as they generally abide by his orders). There has to be a point where one source is enough, otherwise
1414:
Please add Star Wolf in the list. While they are "just goons" in the Star Fox 64, they slowly become anti-heroes (and even allies) in the next games. This is more highlighted in Star Fox Assault, where Wolf advices Fox which later helped in the hero's struggles. In Star Fox Command, Star Wolf team is
991:
Sorry to be curt but your own opinion (and mine) doesn't have any merit in terms of what to include in this article: we have a reliable source claiming he's an anti-hero and that's all that's needed. Second, you don't seem completely clear on what an anti-hero is based on your objections. Third, this
979:
I don't think Batman is actually an anti-hero. True he works with a mask and at night and he can be a bit dark, but in the comics he's in league with the GCPD. Furthermore he disapproves of some other masked vigilantes and their more agressive means of handling things - like Huntress and Azrael. He's
700:
That's the point I am trying to make. Namor as a anti-hero is not my opinion. It is an opinion stated so many times by so many different persons that its omission was a glaring mistake. Also I doubt you could find many people that disagree. In other words there is a consensus. Second, there is always
582:
I added some images since I though the article was looking a little dull. I tried to use the most iconic examples instead of more obscure or contemporary ones, as well as those which have articles discussing their anti-heroic attributes. Any thoughts on replacing them, getting rid of them etc. can go
5035:
If we are going to say that Gollum, Flagg and the rest are anti-heroes, then the main anti-hero page should be changed to the appropriate definition (which apparently is "any character who isn't pure good or pure evil", based on the list). Otherwise, this list needs to be either properly filtered or
4884:
Given the extreme amount of manga (and to a lesser extent) anime, I find the section is quite sad, as only 3 characters are listed. Maybe we could get some more anime/manga characters up there, since I think even the Spanish wikipedia has more (I could have said any other language, but I'm spanish);
4861:
may possess to qualify. That, in itself, does not explicitly exclude antagonists, but the general tone is that it only includes protagonists, and the general feeling to readers may very well be that all of the people on the list are such. I'm not arguing about including villains on the list (which

Ah, where to begin? Let me say first that I shudder every time anybody compares / contrasts COVENANT with LORD OF THE RINGS. Of course, my respect for Tolkien is unbounded, so in that sense I suppose I should feel flattered. But comparisons / contrasts are often odious to the people being compared /
4655:
I added a literary character: Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever from Stephen R. Donaldson fantasy series. I think he is an excellent example of an anti-hero, but my source may be a bit weak. It's from a fan site of the novels. An introduction page describes this character as "anything but a typical

Looks like this is the same conversation that's been going on for years on this board! Given that, I will digress, but for this last post. Joseph Heller's words seem appropriate here: "There was only one catch and that was Catch-22" ... so long as I can find one article that describes someone as an

The easiest way for me is just to do a google search. It doesn't have to be a major thing, just a reference in a professional interview, review or article. (For example, a review by the Boston Globe could say "As the antihero Sweeney Todd, Johnny Depp steals the show" and that would be enough) But I
2960:
That post about in-print citations was just as you named it--a joke. But in all seriousness, let's not get into the complexity of the fact that there cannot be a paper written without any sort of bias. Clear bias is a movie review. An informative article is not. Let's excuse the fact that making
2934:
So, what would you like to see done? Would you like us all to review the citations and only stick to highly regarded sources (The Guardian, The New York Times)? You suggested only citing in-print sources which, as an academic elitist, I might support since it would likely do away a lot of examples I

label an anti-hero, since, as has been repeated, this is a slippery and subjective term and means different things to different people. The decision as to what is biased and un-biased is a very grey area; one person's biased piece is another's unbiased piece. Attempting to weed out "biased" articles
2896:
mean that the character is an anti-hero. It would make more sense if you used un-biased sources (if the sources is your basis on choosing who to delete off the page, since both of you have taken the roles of unofficial mods) and at least two of these un-biased sources were cited. Movie reviews are

Which I think is official, it says near the bottom "The Prince in Warrior Within is a bitter, deeply angry man who's only out to save his own ass and he really doesn't care who he has to run over in the process. The result is that, rather than being a "dark" and "gritty" anti-hero, the Prince merely

The second one is an archived news piece from the 3DR website that quotes another now defunct link or website which itself is, as you would put it, may not be reliable. But the fact that 3DR put it there with the "anti-hero" word indicates to me that they agree with the term because they could have

is/can be seen as an anti-hero there shouldn't be any problem in adding him to the list. And don't worry, flame wars here aren't very widespread since Knowledge (XXG) isn't a discussion forum and there are policies against it. Also, as a sidenote, I rarely see religion strongly influencing articles,

This subject is highly interesting, but also very subjective, and therefore the list here is very incomplete. I've got an interesting addition, an "ultimate anti-hero" of sorts, which I would like to throw out here in the Talk page first. My ultimate anti-hero is, of course, Lucifer as depicted in
4483:
Just to weigh in, basically the article that existed before this was deleted for not having any sources. Verifiability is one of the major things Knowledge (XXG) strives for. We can't decide what's true in the case of anti-heroes, just like we can't all sit around and rewrite history through editor

It's not about disagreeing with the source, it's about the source not being a proper one. Here, I'll give an example for the slow witted. If I was to go into the earth article and claim that over 90% of the earth is made of snow, and then use a Peanuts comic strip as my source... would that make it

So many times someone comes on here and goes, "Can I add this character? He's cool. I think he's an antihero." I just point out that for it to be a valid site it needs a published source. In one case, I actually helped someone find a source. And sometimes someone might add an unsourced entry, which

To maintain Knowledge (XXG) as a credible source it must be based on credible sources. And if you read my previous entry you would see I have a problem with 90% of the entries here. I think the whole list is flawed, people can't see the difference between an anti-hero and an anti-villain apparently

First of all, I disagree completely with your comment on video games. In case you haven't played any recent ones (say, from the past ten to twelve years), most video games tell a story, with often complex characters. Even if it is an interactive story of which your degree of success might depend on

I feel that I have to agree with this point. This list feels more like a Google search for any review with the word anti-hero in it. Would it be better to extend the anti-hero page with a few more clearly defined examples? A lot of the references are little more than reviews where someone has used
5014:(1) It provides no useful information to the reader. Who, exactly, is this list aimed at? It certainly isn't aimed at readers looking for a list of characters that meet wikipedia's own definition of anti-hero; nor is there any consistancy around any other definition. This renders the page useless. 4905:

The main issue I see with the list is that many have forgotten that “hero” is the major aspect of the definition of “anti-hero.” An anti-hero is, essentially, a hero who acts in a non-traditional manner towards heroic ends. I was going to comment on what qualities some of those on the list possess

Actually, I think that Benjamin Linus is still quite a mysterious character in the series Lost, which still has no ending, and it might be interesting to wait and see how it all unravels. Then, depending on what he finally does, it should be classified. But anyways, if there are cited sources that

I never said remove him. I looked at the argument and it was clear that debating such a classification is a lost cause. I'm saying that if a few quality match-ups can place a character on the anti-hero list, I believe Alastor meets at least one or two of those qualities. There's really no call for

Actually, two people on here seem to have enough time to decide what gets posted. Notice there is a lot of "you can post if..." This is Knowledge (XXG), anyone can post in spite of someone's presumption that the poster is incorrect. A lot of people have had their entries deleted just because it

Second, while I like your suggestion of a subsection for "consummate" anti-heroes I'm pretty certain it would simply become another battleground for POV. For example, I already disagree with your conditions for inclusion, namely the fifth, which does not apply to some of (what I consider) the more

Who are you to decide how credible a source is? Since when does using profanity mean its no longer credible? In fact, your critique that the articles aren't 'scholarly' enough or don't discuss the subject of being antihero is rather baseless: I suggest you take a look at some of the other sources.

I removed Othello's Iago from the literary anti-heroes list. I'm not sure Iago is ever considered an anti-hero, he's one of Shakespeare's most memorable villains. The article on Iago makes it clear he is a villain, not an anti-hero. Of the two sources for this Iago anti-hero assertion, one link is

They don't have to display any heroic qualities to be an anti-hero - otherwise they would just be "heros with some downfalls". It has more to do with their role in the context of the plot and less to do with whether they do any "good" deeds at all. The characteristics on the main page are example,

And there's a large consensus that considers Hannibal to be an antihero. You just happen to disagree. You personally don't see him as an antihero, and frankly, I don't care. If we were to remove every single anti-hero thats contested there'd be nothing left. And for the record, I'm not the one who

I'm not familiar with the books, so I'm just going to ask what qualifies Hannibal as an anti-hero. In the movies he doesn't usually do anything heroic and isn't actually the protagonist. Most heroic actions he takes throught the movies that I can think of were diversions so he could accomplish his

Knowledge (XXG) has a definition of what an anti-hero is, as does Wiktionary. But both definitions are very limited and I would argue not accurate enough. An ant-hero is one who is a hero with a looser moral code. Usually they operate with an “ends justifies the means” attitude with a positive or

Who moved Lelouch from Anime/Manga to comic books? Most articles on Knowledge (XXG) separate anime/manga from comic books. We should either start an anime/manga section or have him in both comic books for the Code Geass manga and him yet again in television for the Code Geass anime. And if it

Simply, using the word anti-hero is not enough; some justification should be present in a good citation. Even if I don’t agree personally, I would be more than happy to completely drop this if one credible article that explains how and why Leatherface is an anti-hero is cited. Beyond this, the

One of the qualities listed is "Qualities normally belonging to villains (amorality, greed, violent tendencies, etc.) that may be tempered with more human, identifiable traits (confusion, self-hatred, etc.)". Leatherface has violent tendencies and villainous behaviors (i.e. cannibalism) that are

I was just reading the discussion of Leatherface from last year. I kept seeing over and over that "one person's opinion doesn't matter", but only as far as getting someone removed. In other words, if I add to the list, and offer some citation, however tenuous that citation is, then it stays? No

This is not right. First he was created as a villain (voted one of the best two villains of the 20th century!). He does not deserve classification as an anti-hero anymore than Darth Vader deserves it for attacking the Emperor in the end. The fact Dr. Doom saved the whole world a number of times

Most refrences to Satan in Literature especially the earlier ones make him a villian and the progentor of evil even more sympathetic refrences don't usually deny that he is the imbodiment of evil. As for Patrick Baetmen I am not familiar with that character so I cannot make any comparison.

And I'm not saying simply removing villains...I'm stating that if someone were to disagree with the classification of a character and then removed it there'd be nothing left.

Alrighty then. Nominate the article for deletion, if you feel so strongly about it. I should point out, however, that this was nominated before and the consensus was to keep it, so keep that in mind. The discussion was in favor 10-2, with one of the two dissenters being the original

Nighttimes.com - Does not make a case for Leatherface as an anti-hero at any point (the reference may even be sarcastic given the rest of the article). Seems highly uncredible, referring to the film as a “cinematic turd” shows it is not really a scholarly article about anti-heroic

First off, I'm sorry if I came off as rude before. There is an anti-villain page, but there is no list. There used to be one, but it was just people adding characters with no source. Anti-villain isn't as common as anti-hero so it would be harder to make a lengthy list using cited

The people above discussing who is and isn't an anti-hero seem to disagree on what an anti-hero is. I suggest you figure out exactly what that is. I think it's far-fetched to justify that by what other sources have said so. Anyone can refer to any character as an anti-hero.

Those are some theories by people who have read the book based on what what was written. Milton didn't come out and say what the story meant, it was for the reader to decide. You don't think he's an antihero, fine, but others do and a source has been cited so he's going to

Your definition of anti-hero is off. Anti-heroes are not villains or bad characters who lead to good ends. The real definition of an anti-hero is often one who walks away from a battle. Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings is an example of a true literary anti-hero.

Sometimes (it's quite rare) actual living people are referred to as anti-heroes in articles, newspapers, etc. It's pretty rare so you're question is completely valid (the old list was simply titled "list of anti-heroes"), but usually it's best to be as clear as possible.
