When we have 90% or 95% of a set, the remaining 5% in many ways are significant and worth writing about simply for the value in having a complete set.
The trouble is deciding which way to tip. In the Farscape case, we had articles on every fictional species that appeared in more than one or two episodes.
Then a low-profile AfD managed to slip in and delete the article on one of the more prominent members, and after that it was a case of "why do we have articles on all these minor species when we don't have this prominent one?" We went from 95% to 0. That's the wrong direction for an encyclopedia whose goal is comprehensiveness to be going in.
