I have reverted your edit on the Satan article, because it is not constructive to the page. A statement such as this would need to be on the talk page for the article rather than the page itself. I do however want to take the time to respond to your challenge and statement that there is no evidence on the Satan article.

The Satan article is very underdeveloped, and being a wiki, pages will always be a "work in progress". The statement/challenge you made '

If Satan is recorded in the Bible, then in order to classify him as evil from a biblical standpoint, we must define evil. Evil is the act of doing anything that is morally wrong, often held synonymous to the word "sin". Evil is disobedience to God and sin is breaking of God's law. There are many, many, many examples of Satan sinning in the Bible. One of the most popular and common examples was his tempting of Adam and Eve. Satan, in the form of a serpent, tempted Adam and Eve. In this Satan lied by telling Eve that should would not die if she ate the fruit, contrary to God expressly stating that Adam and Eve would die if they did so.

This is just a singular example that shows Satan was indeed a sinner. Even if Satan just broke that one law, he would be considered evil, as humans are as well. Rather God did not show mercy on Angels (such as Satan) when they sinned, because they willingly gave up their positions. God does however, show humans mercy because he wants all to be saved.

My point in all of this, if you want to call Satan good, you have to do it on biblical terms as Satan is a entity described in the Bible. Otherwise you cannot justly call him "good". Even if you do not believe in the Bible, it is pure folly to take an entity from any piece of literature and attribute characteristics to him outside of the framework.
