I think also that Notes and Trivia sections could be moved if we have to split long pages. One option could be /Trivia subpage where we could also move long lists of aliases, relatives, affiliations, etc. from the infobox. Page splitting should still be considered on case-be-case basis. Our longer character pages also have an expanded history so I would shorten them by moving or deleting a lot of history section. Long Powers and Abilities section could also be moved to a subpage, leaving just more important stuff to the main page. I would prefer subpages over long collapsible sections which are not good for readability. I think that the main page should be short enough to being convenient for a casual reader and material interesting only to geeks like us should go to subpages. Lots of work but should be done eventually.

Long infoboxes are even bigger problem because they are almost unreadable but luckily those are more easier to fix. My post is becoming so long that I comment only generally infoboxes, not individual fields. First and most importantly, long lists and explanations have to be moved elsewhere from the infobox. I don't necessarily see a reason to remove any of infobox fields but I can agree with your point that some are more important than others. To sum it up, infobox should summarize only most important facts about the article. Shorter it is, with minimal amount of links and references, better is serves its purpose with good readability. More we can present its information also in the body of the article and reference from there, better.

I know that often people add information to Notes which should belong to the body of an article. I wouldn't worry about that too much because it's still a starting point for later editors to improve. Editor might not have a time, skill or knowledge to add the information to the right place in the article but it could still be valuable contribution.
