So I keep finding characters like this Charlie (Thief) (Earth-616) and Joe (NYPD) (Earth-616), they are just background characters with generic names with a list of appearances and things that span over many decades from different books and authors. Due to the simplicity of there names it is unlikely though not impossible for each of their appearances to be the same person but I doubt it. So I was wondering whether these should be kept like this, split into small separate articles on the Resident pages, or set up the page to signify that different appearances are different people who share the same name, kind of like a residents page for generic background characters, or just deleted entirely due to being literall background characters with a couple of lines if that. What do people think?
