Deletion of Almodad

Comment: Meets the minimum standards required by  and . It's important to remember that , as well as , are guidelines, and we have some leeway in exceptional cases. If we want Wikipedia to be a serious repository of cultural knowledge rather than just a collection of Star Trek and The Sopranos memorabilia, we have to take into account that the farther we go back in time, the less reliable information has been preserved on average about any given figure, and we have to make allowances for that. I suggest that characters in classic works and other figures of significant cultural or historical importance should get a pass from some of the requirements that might be applicable to a biography in the internet age. Inclusion in the classic work necessarily means that core policies  and  are met. I would expect, for example, that Wikipedia would include an article on every character in Homer's Iliad, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and the works of Shakespeare, every monarch of England, every Catholic saint, every element in the periodic table, and be exhasutive on a variety of other basic foundational sources of cultural information critical to the history of civilizations, even though the information on the topic may be scanty. It seems a perversion of the basic purpose of the Wikimedia Foundation and the basic understanding of what it means for an encyclopedia to contribute to human knowledge to include articles on Final Fantasy characters but not characters in the Bible on grounds that more has been written about Final Fantasy.
