The only reason I suspect you're fixated on removing those entries is because you're using TV Tropes standards and criteria to define examples of this trope. With Stromboli, Scroop, and Live action!Cruella, you have to first consider the settings and standards of the works they're in, and then consider whether or not they go all out in being heinous enough in those settings and by those standards to qualify. THEN, you look at the criteria on the main page's definition.

Stromboli, being an enslaver, exploiter, and would-be murderer who betrays the trust of an innocent child, is heinous second only to the Coachman. He's not portrayed positively, his terribleness is played seriously even when he himself is a Laughably Evil Large Ham, and Pinocchio and Jiminy express fear and revulsion at him. He has no good excuse for this, shows no altruism or remorse, and doesn't get redeemed nor is he redeemable as far as we can tell. I recommend checking out the Encyclopedia Of Walt Disney's Animated Characters by John Grant, who gives good studies on both Stromboli and the Coachman that gives reason for them both to qualify for this trope.

Scroop is in a story filled with pirates, so it's noteworthy that he's singled out as the vilest and most ruthless of them all apart from the late Captain Flint, thus he's the story and setting's heinous standard. He's not portrayed positively, his terribleness is played dead seriously, and everyone shows fear, hate, and revulsion of him, even his comrades. He has no excuse or no good motive for being so cruel, is totally selfish, shows no regret or shame, and is irredeemable. His one murder, attempts at murder, and attempts at mutiny are sufficient enough to convey what kind of person he is.

While Cruella isn't the darkest villain in that setting (that would be Mr. Skinner), she's the mastermind behind everything bad that happens in it and thus an enabler of the other villains' crimes, and her literally being in the business of greatly inconveniencing humans and animals alike (on top of kidnapping, exploitation, and attempted murder) sets the heinous bar of the story. She's never portrayed as positive, her terribleness is played as seriously as the tone allows (like Stromboli, in spite of being a Laughably Evil Large Ham), no character, even her own lackeys, actually likes her, she has no excuse for her greedy motives and evil deeds, she has no altruism, no remorse or shame for her crimes, and is shown to be beyond any form of redemption in the sequel.

So yes, I'd say they're all keepers.
