The status quo, as I understand it, is that for
seriously popular
series/books etc, each major character can have its own article,
otherwise they should be grouped. Each instalment/book/episode can
have its own article. However, except for rare examples, *places* in
fictional universes do not get articles, nor do events, types of
vehicles (Star Wars is exceptional here) However, even still, minor
characters in major series do not get their own articles. Why not?
Well, that's the question we're trying to resolve here.
I agree with this generally, though perhaps I'd be a little more
liberal in certain aspects. I apologise if I misconceived your
opinions, but the last part of the essay came across as a little too
deletionist to be describing the status quo.
I certainly think we could afford a little more space to a non-major
characters, places and things; but I'm not way out there. I'll take
another look at the essay this evening.
