@Chubby Potato - Yes, inferencing can be applied, but it's not really relevant to the appearances policy, is it? It's more a case-by-case basis of determining if it is a character being referred to or not.

@Shambala108 - If you're referring to the column where I wrote "appearances list" or "references" - I wasn't trying to to imply that those cases were resolved, just to represent cases where we seemingly have consensus on this thread in that regard. Also, as I said, I was only using "references" as a placeholder for whatever we decide such a page would be called, if indeed we decide to allow for the creating of the page at all.

But I do agree that "references" might not be a good choice of name, as the page will likely include points that (on the main page) would go under the biography heading. "Mentions" also doesn't fit, as was mentioned earlier, as visual cases are hard to define as "mentions". I struggle to think of any other alternatives, if I'm honest.
