To be clear, I absolutely believe every unambiguous mention should be categorized, I simply offered one of many potential compromises, and I'll help implement whatever we come to a consensus on, but my preference is that when an author clearly references a specific character, it should unequivocally be noted. A mention is a mention is a mention is a mention. Whether that means it's done in the current categorical structure, via a hidden category, or worst case scenario from my perspective, no category at all, I can be convinced to get behind that decision.

Likewise I'm resigned to the possibility that those who want to abolish every last mention they arbitrarily deem unimportant, because in their infinite wisdom they know better than the writers who explicitly chose to reference a specific character in any given situation, may ultimately be the majority here, in which case I'll be strident opposition acting against my conscience to help implement, but sometimes that's life.
