There is just no reason for including them other than padding out the pages, or including them because they are popular.

We dont need a page for Spock, but we would need a page for E.T. and Paul since they are basically the only ones of their kind that we know of.

But the fact is there are too many characters to deal with, ultimately if we uncluded a page for every character. . . it would completely overshadow the primary content.

Look at star trek, there is at least one character for every species. . . vulcans and klingons there is about 2000 characters. ..

do you see the issue, this just isnt the place for characters like Captain Jean-Luc Picard. . . Data might be okay.

and people who are the last of their kind might be okay.
