Please, you're better than using these kind of arguments. My infinite wisdom is geared towards improving our articles and Marvel writers's infinite wisdom is geared towards creating an interesting story. That's a big difference.

Sorry, Undoniel, but the text written to the layout guide is already a compromise. So if you don't agree with it, I think that you have to start a new voting about the changes to the layout guide which would prevent the mentions you don't want to the Mentions category.

Other than someone saying "wow, that's a lot of mentions", I don't really see much of a point. Sorry for this unrelated quote, but I wanted to add it because I find it amusing. I see a pattern here, first we hid the useless character appearances to resident and member lists, then created minor appearances, and now we are talking about Category:Meaningless Mentions. We have created over a hundred appearances for Hawkeye's suit without even having an article about it. For some reason, Hulk's Pants don't have any appearances. I guess that when we decide that our appearance sections have become a mess with too many entries we'll create a subpage /Minor Appearances. I have changed my mind and don't think anymore that everything should be listed.
