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.
