I've had read the manga- for the sole purpose of finding out if Light applied as a hero, this has come up before. The kid is a psychopath, no arguments there, he also received no redemption. The reason I have allowed the article is because the writer made the point that the character still functions as a protagonist for the first  section of the manga. At first Light does kill bad people and only because they are bad people. That changes but it does make him a protagonist. I find it hard to repudiate that logic. We have several heroes who skirt the line, such a Magneto, Discord, Deadpool, so on and with fans being able to feel massive hate or love, the cleanest way to approve or disapprove a character for this wiki is, do they function to resolve the story's plot without contributing to it's conflict. In Light's case that changes when he starts on his god complex but prior to that, yes he is attempting to clean-up crime, which is set as the central conflict.

As to what I think, I think he is Caligula, he has delusions of god-hood, extreme egomania, murders people, conspires to kill his father, undermines the law and talks to his own imaginary friends. He does everything on the Caligula check list but sleep with his sister. However, that doesnt matter it's not about whether he is a good human being or not, just whether he serves the narritive as a protagonist, and sorry to say,, he does, at first. If we got rid of him we would needd to get rid of Kraros.
