As a fan of the books, I've had issues with Dumbledore being NPG. He was never supposed to be presented as any kind of morally rightous character, more a morally flawed character who does righteous things in spite of his flaws, and I think I have the arguments in place to cut him from this wiki.
What is the Work?
I'm sure almost everyone on this wiki knows what Harry Potter is, but for those unaware, it's about an orphan wizard boy who goes to a magic school and learns spells. An evil wizard called Voldemort killed his parents and continues to try killing him throughout the story.
Who is the Character?
Dumbledore is the headmaster at Hogwarts and is widely considered the most gifted wizard alive. In the past, he dueled and defeated his former lover and dark wizard Gellert Grindlewald after the latter attempted to take over the world and rule muggles (which they originally tried doing together). He is the person Harry looked up to the most in his life and was also the only wizard Voldemort ever feared.
Why Doesn't He Qualify?
Admirable standards are no issue here. Dumbledore was massively instrumental in the fall of, not one, but two dark wizards across his lifetime that threatened wizardkind as he knew it. No, the issue with Dumbledore comes with his actual morality and ideals, which are severely messed up by major character flaws the plot acknowledges he has that are far two severe and prevelant in his character for him to be NPG.
Dumbledore has three character qualities in particular that are way too corrupting and prevelant in his character for him to be NPG.
The first is how much of an "ends justify the means" sort of character he is. Probably the most clear example of this comes with the actions of his youth, where he plotted to rule over muggles with Grindlewald "for the greater good". This singular action is obviously far subverted by the time of the series, but the moral flaws Dumbledore had to get there are still present in his character in the present day. The biggest example of this was the fact that he was pretty much grooming Harry to die at the proper moment throughout the earlier books. Yes, this isn't what ended up happening thanks to Voldemort using Harry's blood to get a new body, but this was something completely out of Dumbledore's control. Before this point, the plan was always for Voldemort to eventually kill Harry, and when Dumblefore discovers Voldmort used Harry's blood, it's even stated he looked happy as, at that point, he realised there was a way around the original plan to have Harry killed. Prior to that point, he was fully expecting that Harry would have to die for real.
While this is the biggest example of his extremism in present, there are others. For example, he hired Gilderoy Lockhart as a teacher solely so he could expose him as a fraud, fully accepting the issues with hiring an incompetant DADA teacher (such as students failing their final exams, or even that their wellbeing could be at risk in situations like with the pixies). Probably the worst indivaidual case in this came posthumously in the final book, where he intentionally had Snape give the correct date of Harry's transfer from private drive to Voldemort so he could gain Voldemort's trust. While he did give Harry extra protection by having Snape create the idea of the Seven Potters plot, this only protected Harry (and less so than not telling Voldemort the correct date), while endangering all the other order members. We see the repercussions of this like Mad Eye dying and George losing his ear. It is very much an extremist moment.
Interestingly enough, Dumbledore's second issue is actually the total opposite of his extremism (but arguably just as preventing). He's shown to form unhealthy attachments with people that cause him to make incredibly bad judgement calls in the name of his and their wellbeing. This, again, starts with Grindlewald, who Dumbledore suspected was more sinister than he let on, but he pushed aside those feelings because he was in love. He didn't accept who Grindlewald was until he used Crucio against his brother and their duel accidentally killed his sister. This continues to where they were enemies as, despite having the skill to do so, he actively avoiding fighting Grindlewald until he had almost won, partly because he was still in love, and partly because he was scared of finding out if it was his curse that killed Ariana.
Then we move into the present day, and Dumbledore still hasn't subverted this flaw. He chose to leave Harry at the Dursely's despite knowing how abusive they were, and unlike what his page says, this wasn't his only option. He could have raised Harry himself on school grounds (equally safe), or he could have simply checked up on Harry over time to ensure he was happy. If both Sirius and the order were able to do it, he should have too, yet he didn't. The reason he didn't was because he was scared of growing to care about Harry since Harry was a victim of the prophec (and also that he had to die). He is called out for doing this in the story, specifically in the Cursed Child where Harry argues with his portrait. Speaking of the prophecy, Dumbledore admitted himself that he should have told Harry about it a long time ago, but didn't because he selfishly wanted to see Harry staying happy during his time at school and didn't tell him about the prophecy until the 5th book. Yes, the reason he didn't tell Harry during that book was because he was worried about Voldemort seeing his mind, but he only knew about this after the snake incident, so it doesn't excuse the previous 4 years.
The last example of him doing this was when he put on the Gaunt family ring in hopes of using the ressurrection stone to bring back Ariana despite knowing the risks. This leads to him receiving a curse on his hand, giving him only a year to live. He even went on to admit to Harry that bringing Ariana back would not have been a noble endeaver anyway, since he would be dragging someone who already moved on back to the land of the living, but he did it anyway because he selfishly wanted to see Ariana again. Putting on the ring was probably the worst judgement call any character (aside from maybe Voldemort) as made in the series, and that's saying soemthing. It just goes to show how severe of a prevention this is.
Dumbledore's last major corrupting quality is just how much he lies and manipulates people, specifically the main characters. He sent the golden trio to hunt Voldemort's horcruxes after his death, yet intentionally didn't tell them about information like the deathly hallows or the elder wand as a means to keeping them on the right path, not trusting them to not look for the Hallows themselves. He also didn't tell them about Snape being an ally or their plan together despite knowing Voldemort entering Harry's mind was no longer a risk. This also completely contradicts something Dumbledore said in the 6th book, where he claimed he told Harry everything he knew and that any new information was new to both of them. This is even presented as morally grey behaviour throughout the books, where, in the last book, Harry worries that he's turning out like Dumbledore by keeping his classmates in the dark about the Horcruxes.
There's also some smalle corrupting factors inbetween, like him awarding Gryffindor the House Cup right after already claiming Slytherin won, or his apparent apathy towards Barty Crouch Jr receiving the Dementors Kiss (yes, he was evil, but it was still treated as an excessively cruel fate, with both McGonigal and Harry Potter horrified when hearing what happened. These are minor corrupting qualities though, it is the three I described above that are the main reasons I don't think he should be here.
Verdict
Cut, Dumbledore is supposed to have many morally grey traits despite being a heroic character and doesn't belong here.
