Sorry to disappoint many (and, on occasion, even myself), BUT animated characters and puppets ARE NOT real people, and SHOULD NOT have 'Name' pages, but SHOULD BE listed as Character performed by actors or actresses.
Donald Duck, Charlie McCarthy, Mortimer Snerd, Kukla, Ollie, etc., should not have 'Name' pages, but should be listed as characters performed by others. They could then have the
"-character" keyword.
Granted, some cartoon character and even puppets have more human qualities and expressions than some actors and actresses, but that still should not qualify them for 'Name' pages.

Animal actors and actresses justifiably have 'Name' pages. It's the cartoon characters and puppets that should't. Recently tried to delete Donald Duck as a 'Name,' but it has not been accepted, even though Clarence Nash (Donald-s voice) is listed in the cast with Donald Duck as the character name.

Stats should have
Sublist of Names that are 'objects ?' Robots, cars, toys etc ?
Sublist of Names that are Animals: Dogs, Horses, Birds, Primates, etc ?
.
(Edited)
It seems that names that are objects should just be keywords.
And cartoon and puppet characters should be keywords with the"-character" addendum," also.
