Removing the stuff would only confirm the way we do things elsewhere, such as. In that list of appearances, we simply say that we've deliberately left some things off the list. It's really no big deal. We are editors. There's nothing wrong in making an editorial choice — particularly if it benefits clarity.

Writing a decent, standardised lead for these pages is long overdue, since most of them lie anyway by purporting to be, as you seem to think, a list of "ALL appearances".
