or rather, rejected. List articles where multiple entities are described without giving them their own articles, are unacceptable. (Though list articles like Shinobi Organisational System that describe and then link to bigger pages are ok)

This was one of the core ideals (right up there with the ideal of using concensus for other discussions) that this wiki was founded on. And it's why we have our intricate infoboxes (which other wiki keep asking for help making), SMW all over, the drilldown pages, etc...

Giving minor characters their own article does not hurt the wiki. Pretty much every rationale people think of when fixating on aggregating multiple characters into one list article is nothing but a figment of their imagination and doesn't match up with reality. List articles are a holdover from Wikipedia where they focus on notability and outright delete information on minor characters. That is not the proper basis for a wiki that was built to cover every piece of information on a single topic.
