this is basically just a copy of fandom - so rather unencyclopedic and given how many video games there are (many of which are not notable) this list seems rather indiscriminate and way too big. we have plenty here that some of these can be repurposed for and we already have adequate lists for notable villains in notable franchises.

Delete. I honestly can't tell what this article is supposed to be about. Is it about villains in video games in general? If so why does the lead describe it as a "franchise aimed at older audiences and gamers"? Seems like this could plausibly even be speedy'd under WP:A1 or WP:A7.

Delete This is basically a list article that fails WP:NLIST and WP:LISTPURP for being hopelessly broad such that it cannot be discussed as a notable set. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 17:02, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
speedy Delete looks like it could even be an outright hoax or thing made up one day, or a copy of one made by a user with severe WP:CIR issues. Dronebogus (talk) 17:04, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Just seeing the title, I thought it might be an article on the concept of villains in video games, but actually looking at the article, it seems to actually be some completely non-notable fanwork that was just WP:MADEUP? I'm almost leaning towards this being eligible for Speedy Delete under criteria A11. Rorshacma (talk) 17:16, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - Its only source comes from a fan-made concept...on Fanon Wiki. Looks like Mickey's House of Villains...with video game antagonists instead. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 19:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
