Yeah, is super-discretionary. I probably wouldn't use it if somebody just casually references the fact that Green Lantern is a person who exists. I pretty much use it for two purposes.
 * 1) The issue contains relevant new information about a character who does not actually appear.
 * 2) The character in question has no physical appearances, so you can only track them by mentions. We have a surprisingly large number of these.

I should really write this down somewhere.
