3The OP didn't want very negative words, even stating that 'notorious' wasn't what they were looking for...– marcellothearcaneCommented Aug 7, 2017 at 20:25

1Yet the example they cited was a negative. And notorious is not necessarily a very negative, it just says unfavorable. Pointing out the difference by giving the definition.– DCookCommented Aug 8, 2017 at 12:04

@DCook I don't think the given example is negative. The person in question may be a hero to the people talking, but because he's well-known to the enemy they can't rely on him to complete the mission.– James MooreCommented Aug 23, 2017 at 15:12

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
