:: I guess that's where I ultimately stand. I see 'canonicity' therefore being the next issue, but think we should table that discussion until we see where this one goes. (Once we're clear as to consensus on notability, Scaletail and I will start one on the BTWiki's definition of 'canon.') As for notability, I back keeping any character that has met canon requirements, no matter how small (though stub tags should be employed, as necessary - with the exception of minute characters where no further information is available). --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 15:12, 8 December 2007 (CST) :: I guess that's where I ultimately stand.

− :::While I see no problem in doing it this way, I think we need to be aware that most people are not looking for one line blurbs about "X" that they've never heard of before because it's so minor it barely merits attention. *So*, we need to differentiate the little stuff out, for example by creating a "minor characters" category so people who are interested in that could go there from Category:People. Does that sound reasonable? --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 19:29, 8 December 2007 (CST) + :::While I see no problem in doing it this way, I think we need to be aware that most people are not looking for one line blurbs about "X" that they've never heard of before because it's so minor it barely merits attention. *So*, we need to differentiate the little stuff out, for example by creating a "minor characters" category so people who are interested in that could go there from [[:Category:People]].

::::This idea intrigues me. What you're suggesting, then, is that instead of deleting minor articles that have little-to-no chance of being further developed, they instead get tagged with an appropriate category (and possibly tag?). Is that right? Just to be clear, are you suggesting we keep them out of the 'major peoples' category? In that case, each article (with exceptions for things like planets and vehicles) will need to be categorized into a major or minor category. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 21:11, 8 December 2007 (CST) ::::This idea intrigues me.
