Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of minor Biblical figures
The Bible does not satisfy the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy or the Wikipedia:Reliable sources guideline as a ''history'' source, but the topic here is a subset of ''Biblical figures'', so this is the absolute authority without requiring faith.  '''(2)'''  The problem is the existence of many versions of the Bible, with variations on spelling for some number of those tens of thousands of names.  Fact-checking the "begat's" alone would take many hours.  '''(3)'''  |Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of trivia, and minor characters in literature are not inherently notable (even if the work is the most-published and most-read book).  Major characters like Abraham and Judas Iscariot can be documented showing enough significance for their own articles.  Tens of thousands of stubs, each citing a single verse or minor mentions through a single chapter, won't add ''meaningful'' content to Wikipedia, and an unmaintainable (or nearly so, even with a 'bot and a problem space limited to a couple of Bible versions like KJV) list won't really improve Wikipedia.  We're here for WP levels of completeness, not Biblical or multibiblical levels of completeness
