The only exception that comes to my mind is Molly (Leprechaun) (Earth-616), that was unique enough despite having only a first name, and she deserved her own article.

So far the only one I checked is the Inhumans article (a personal favorite), after having read AnnabellRice's thread about cleaning the links to the main Inhumans page. I created the articles for the minor Inhumans that appeared there, cleaning the links in the process, and these characters were unique enough and deserved their own page. Seems fair to me.

Shabook wrote: I also remember creating the articles Emperor Merkra (Earth-616), Empress Merkra (Earth-616) and Merkra Child(ren) (Earth-616) as I came across them while fixing another article, and I created them because, despite they could be considered minor, their status as the only known members of their race (and being their rulers) also make them unique enough. I completely agree on those.

Shabook wrote: About the full name feature, characters given both first and last name make them, IMHO, unique enough. And that's one of the guidelines ADour agreed when we first discussed about this topic. I have also read somewhere that Spencerz thinks exactly the same. For aliens, as I said above, their names tend to be unique enough despite not having a full name. I don't think we will have aliens simply named "John", "Michael", "Smith" or "Thompson"...

It is also a very easy and effective way of not crowding too much articles lists like New York City/Residents or Manhattan/Residents, that are already long enough with characters not having a full name. True enough.

I never managed to have a bot running for my stuff, maybe we should clarify also the conditions for a bot to be used.
