Well, you're right. Having a page does count in something.

But sometimes it doesn't do much else than showing the appearance of the character.

As an example, you are visiting the page for a comic you didn't read, and you realize there's a new villain. He's listed with "" and all that. And you see he has linked a page. You go check it to know more about this character. Who exactly is he? What are his motivations? Etc.

And as soon as you enter the page, the only thing you find is an image of the villain (imagine if you probably even knew his appearance because he appared in the comic's cover or something). And you go read his bio to inform yourself and the only thing is "The history of this character is unknown." I'd say is a little bit discouraging.

Something even worse could happen with an alternate version of this character. You want to learn about this Spider-Man. You already know how will he look like (let's suppose he's from one of those "What If?"s were characters have no mayor changes in appearance), and you want to check his page, but there's nothing.

Having at least an image IS better than having nothing. But it's like having a flower when you could've been given a garden.
