Orphaned references in List of Once Upon a Time antagonists

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of Once Upon a Time antagonists's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "S03E11":

• From List of Once Upon a Time creatures: Busis, Hilary (15 December 2013). "'Once Upon a Time' recap: The End Is the Beginning Is the End". Entertainment Weekly. Retrieved 16 December 2013.
• From Emma Swan: Busis, Hilary (December 15, 2013). "'Once Upon a Time' recap: The End Is the Beginning Is the End". Entertainment Weekly. Retrieved December 16, 2013.

Reference named "S03E09":

• From Regina Mills: "'Once Upon a Time' recap: Freaky Sunday". Entertainment Weekly. December 1, 2013. Retrieved December 1, 2013.
• From List of items in Once Upon a Time: "'Once Upon a Time' recap: Freaky Sunday". Entertainment Weekly. 1 December 2013. Retrieved 1 December 2013.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:28, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of this Page

This page is extremely unnecessary and should be deleted as it as of no use. The characters listed here are already listed in List of Once Upon a Time characters and it’s just a duplicate of contents. Why do we even need a page to list antagonists? The "Big Bads" of each season is already noted at the top of their respective season page, which detailed history of them in the characters page. This page does not even qualify as Wiki worthy, not to mention lack of sources (again, sources are probably taken form the characters page as majority of the content is a duplicate from there). 115.135.203.220 (talk) 11:49, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

It would be better to redirect it to List of Once Upon a Time characters.  samee  ^talk 12:02, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Disagree, as I am the creator. One of the things Once is most known for is its Big Bads/Antagonists. Yet the character page makes no mention of that part. Scream4man (talk) 03:11, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

@Scream4man: You may contest the deletion proposal and remove the notice from article or consider merging with List of Once Upon a Time characters.  samee  ^talk 07:55, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes, it is known that the show is known for its "Big Bads", but the page is clearly unnecessary. What purpose does this page provides besides letting readers know who the big bad are? Also, the big bad are listed in their respective seasons, always at the top. It’s simply not needed. The page could be created on Wikia, but certainly not Wikipedia. Perhaps a subsection on the main page, but definitely not a page on its own. User 115.135.203.220 (talk) signing off as 115.135.239.113 (talk) 10:08, 12 February 2018 (UTC) due to IP changes.

Because it is informative. What reason is there a List of James Bond villains page? Because James Bond's villains are one of it's most memorable aspects. I agree it should be edited/changed more, but not deleted. Scream4man (talk) 00:18, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

It is not informative as contents are similar as the characters page. Also, comparing this to the List of James Bond villains page is not a valid point per WP: Other Stuff Exists. Just because a page for James Bond exists does not necessary means one is need for Once Upon a Time. Also, it is not about how the page is formatted. The only difference this page is from the characters one is the noting of which season the character plays as an antagonist. I have also noticed that you tried similar attempts to create this page over at Wikia, which failed numerous time as you did not give a proper reason as to why the page was needed. Same here, I can’t see how this page is truly needed, and your reasoning is not helping. I believe the page should be deleted, or at-most, redirected to the characters page, but not merged.
