Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Masked Mystery Villain
The article has now been referenced, but the sources are very weak. The first is https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9789048537808-005/html a book chapter that mentions the term 'masked villain' twice in passing (once in the abstract), never defining or analyzing it. The mention in the text is a simple plot summary of some fictional work: "Kennedy and Jameson try to capture and identify the masked villain in a pursuit that covers the serial’s fourteen episodes". This is a far cry from . The second reference added is, likewise, another mention in passing, if in an academic work https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1093&context=the-mall. The one and only sentence in that article that mentions the term goes "In Scream, the identity behind the masked villain is not immediately known to the audience." I am afraid that any claims that 'the article is now improved' need to do MUCH better than this
