Respectfully responding to your three arguments:
 * 1) 1. From an archivist perspective, the character appears in the book; from a storyline perspective, there's no narrative to speak of. By that same latter notion, characters appear the Handbooks, but they're not advancing a storyline or their own history. An appearance in a sketchbook seems similar to an appearance in a Handbook, from an archivist perspective.
 * 2) 2. I can add more characters, if that's all it takes.
 * 3) 3. From an editor's perspective, it seems unreasonable for me to know the character's previous and next appearances, right? At most, I should be able to tell you if a character is in an issue that I'm looking at, but I shouldn't be responsible for the character's appearances in issues I'm not looking at. I'm not trying to be difficult, but that seems reasonable to me. I should be responsible for the issue I'm editing, but not issues I'm not editing. If an editor is that dedicated to know previous and next appearances, kudos to him or her, but I don't think that should be a rule. Do you disagree?
