Good point, they reduced it to only thousands upon thousands of words enumerating every single character that has ever appeared.

Phew, what a useful compromise. Good work team. High fives all round.

Of all the things to complain about, you're going after the fact that wikipedia has 15 printed pages about important characters in a cartoon with over 750 episodes? This is a list of important, plot-affecting characters; you're just failing to appreciate the sheer scale.

At the very least complain about the species list if you want something ill-fitting for an encyclopedia.

The point is that "notability" seems to be a 1-to-1 proxy for "the popular culture and nostalgic recollections of < 25 year olds".

Which is ... daft.

That's a fine point but a bad example. We're looking at a couple dozen words about characters per hour of footage.
