I think that the length of the character's appearance is almost paramount. If we do look at it from the perspective of what is most relatable to the wiki readers, then definitely the more background information the characters have, the better.

At the end of the day, all the pages on the wiki will not be understood by absolutely everyone (I imagine there are some newer fans who wouldn't understand the SoI pages because they haven't seen it), but there are significant portions of the fanbase that would like to read up, perhaps just for fun or as a refresher, on their favourite characters from SoI, etc. As opposed to attempting to only include information that everyone understands, I think we should start trying to include information and pages that will make said things understandable, as you mentioned Soldier.

Now, for instance, a number of the pages that were deleted were of the characters and events surrounding Sips' Towns series. While not everyone on the wiki will understand the pages, the information provided by the page in-turn explains the page to the reader. Of course not everyone is interested in Sips' Towns series, but those who are and who want to read up on the series as a reminder (as opposed to watching the whole thing through) no longer have the means to do so. I especially think that the Towns pages were deleted unjustly because they all began with a brief description that stated they were from Sips' Towns series. If anyone stumbled across it by chance, they could see exactly where the characters were from and could choose whether they wanted to continue reading, or, if the series didn't interest them, just move along.
