Agreed. That's why some characters can get pages; once their importance has been determined for their number of appearances and/or their relevance as part of a larger storyline. These are still parameters to consider when giving minor characters their own pages.

I want to know the technical details. From my perspective, it seems like all that's required is refraining from the clicking on "Delete".

The technical detail is that once we start allowing every "Joe", "Susan" or "Rocky" to have their own pages, arbitrarily, there would be no stopping all users from creating pages for the thousands of irrelevant characters that happened to be named in one or two issues. There's no criteria to work with and it becomes a no man's land where every character, despite how irrelevant, gets a page just because they were named.

It's not practical. I hope you can see it from that perspective.
