Forum:SH:A name and a few seconds = notable canon?

In going through the list of pages at the thread for creating canon articles, there is one thing that has become painfully clear to me. There are certain articles that under the notability guidelines are permissible, such as Ryoo Naberrie. The article is permissible because under the policy, if the character from Legends has a name in canon, then we can have the article. However, what we have here is a name, about half a face, and a few seconds of footage. How is this any more notable than another character that appears in several episodes or movies, has many lines of dialogue, participates in action sequences and cannot be listed for the sole reason that the character was never given a name outside of material presented in Legends?

I ask this, and the only answer I can come up with is that it isn't. It makes no sense to me. While the standard may have been created to prevent a proliferation of articles about unidentified characters, what we end up with this - the strange standard that allows articles about stuff like Ryoo Naberrie but doesn't allow for ones like what I just described. Maybe I'm overthinking this, maybe this is futile, but the standard seems arbitrary to me. I'm not sure what the solution is - maybe just allowing an article if there is a certain threshold of appearances. Or maybe something like what the Harry Potter Wiki did when they cleaned up their notability standards - the allowance of the creation of such articles on a case-by-case basis by community consent.
