:'''Nominator's rationale:''' As noted at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional bullies]], ''bully'' is a [[WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE|subjective term]]. [[Special:Contributions/108.210.218.199|108.210.218.199]] ([[User talk:108.210.218.199|talk]]) 02:30, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': I added the sub-category to this nomination, as the same rationale applies, although there was only one voice for deletion when it was put up for renaming at [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_February_22#Category:Fictional_cyberbullys]]. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 11:02, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 
*'''keep''' It is a very safe bet that most of the membership of this category can be cited to reliable sources as being bullying characters, and fictional characters, after all, are created to fill certain positions. So I am not accepting the assertion of subjectivity; I suspect that literary critics do not. Of course those for whom citation cannot be found ought to be removed, but I'm not buying the idea that we can judge those critics to be wrong.
 
:As a for instance, Ghits for "[https://www.google.com/search?q=biff+tannen+bully&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 biff tannen bully]" number 83,000. I sure that there are plenty of others that get similar numbers. [[User:Mangoe|Mangoe]] ([[User talk:Mangoe|talk]]) 14:46, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. [[WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE]]. --[[User:BrownHairedGirl|<span style="color:#663200;">Brown</span>HairedGirl]] <small>[[User talk:BrownHairedGirl|(talk)]] • ([[Special:Contributions/BrownHairedGirl|contribs]])</small> 00:49, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' as overly subjective. This is especially true because some villains in especially the Superhero genre, will have been portrayed in multiple ways often over long periods of time. A few connected with Batman and Superman have been portrayed almost constantly in comics for over 70 years, plus appeared in many TV, film and novel depictions. While these characters are generally clearly the villain in all appearances, whether they are bullies is hard to say, and will at times depend on their specific portrayal.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 19:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
