Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of minor characters in Xenosaga (2nd nomination)
An artifact of the old  guideline, which advised handling major characters in the main article, and minor characters in a spinoff article (as had been done with an ''Atlas Shrugged'' compromise at the time). We don't do this any more; current practice is to cover the characters in the main article, and just omit excessive plot detail. The broader consensus changed.Now, we have a dumping ground for the characters who didn't merit mention in the (already huge) major characters list. These are characters with minor roles, often completely omitted for lack of importance from the main plot summaries. We don't need many, many articles all recapping different details of the Xenosaga series' plot, that's just excessive
