I think they might be needed in some cases. Some of HT's shorts have enough named minor characters to justify it. "Counting Potsherds" has quite a few anemic character articles about named characters who make walk-on roles, and past fictional kings who are named but not otherwise described. All of these might be better conflated into a page for MFC in CP.

As for the three MFC in DiV, I think they add color to the provincial Roman town that HT portrayed.
