I can see the point in limiting the "First Name Only" characters as much as possible. There are tons of them. Some with single appearances and some with a string of them. A few of them may be notable... a very, very few.

I can see where characters like Tony, Rob (another of the OP's creations), and Paul Holt can be seen as notable. They are depictions within comics of how varied human relationships really are. The latter two more so since the relationships are normal ones. Meaning we aren't dealing with at least one alien in the relationship. But a lot of that notability is contextual and needs to be explained. That in part should be in the character history. It should also be in the Notes section. Just popping the page in place with the infobox doesn't do that.

Worse, it leaves it to others to try an figure out why the page was created since all the other Troy Unnamed and Rob Unnamed don't have pages.

When the editor that plopped in Paul Holt (Arrow) did so they at least 1) included a note that the character is an adaptation of a New Earth character and 2) ran with the standing assumption that one spouse takes the others surname. (I may be wrong about that, I don't remember off the top of my head if the character was ever directly refereed to as "Paul Holt" on screen.)
