@EternalLocket

The fact that few people will notice or disagree about it is not an excuse to go ahead and do it. And no, it's not permanent, nothing here is. I feel like it is a poor use of resources and time. I'm just going to keep sounding like a broken record but it is not needed and subjective for us to declare certain characters as minor. I don't particularly enjoy the thought of having to dispute why Goggles is not a minor character, so it would be better if we just avoided the issue altogether.

@Manuel de la Fuente

Again, I'm going to repeat myself but this is all subjective. Who are we to declare that the death of Goggles is 'not relevant'. We're going to come across people who are going to argue that it was relevant to the story, and it is going to detract from other, far more important things. We just don't need to catagorize people in this manner. We should strive to be welcoming to almost all aspects of this community, not just mold the wiki into the vision of some of them. Making a list of minor character is, inherently subjective, and I see no way to remove that.

Again, I don't think Goggles is a minor character. He was featured in many chapters and played a prominent role as one of Hange's squad members. His death demonstrated the power of the AHSS and Kenny, and showed the audience that Levi was in real danger. The main point is that everyone defines a minor character differently and thus we either need to have large debates about who is minor or who is not, or just not count them.

And Manuel, assuming it was directed towards me I did not appreciate that coy stab at me 'arguing' everything.
