Frankly if an article is well fleshed out then there is no reason to move them to a mega article; they have better SEO value as standing pages. I would suggest restricting the number of minor X character articles to no more than 3, & 2 is better. If you cut away everyone who’s not a vanilla mortal then you can divide those remaining humans in one article, while dividing werewolves/faeries/wizards/etc in the second article. Bottom line, there probably shouldn’t be more than two medium paragraphs per item in minor characters (vast majority should have just one paragraph). Characters like Ascher, Greene, & Torelli absolutely should have independent articles, & even if you just have two massive paragraphs (+ a quote to boot) like with Marion, that might be worth a second look or at least a trimming. If you have 4 tiny paragraphs like Zero, those could be combined & trimmed. If you have two paragraphs on many unimportant characters, consider trimming, condensing, & combining to reduce text content to one paragraph where possible.
 * To keep?
 * Keep Wang, page is not a stub.
 * Leaning toward keep for Monica due to one-book importance.
 * Kelly not a stub.
 * Kyle not a stub.
 * Randall not a stub.
 * Could ditch Stanton but her article could suffice as-is.
 * Stern has enough backstory & a long enough page to suffice.
 * Wilson: core antagonist in the book & article is sufficient.
 * To transfer?
 * Drakul: Powerful, two references, tangential influence, keep.
 * Li Xian: pre-book backstory with Charles Bartlesby, but minor. No real harm in keeping, but could be minor if his minor section was condensed.
 * Unsure: Astor article is short enough to ditch & the character is minor, from a minor side story, although the article is just barely acceptable in length, she has a second reference, & she could potentially return as an adult. Lean very slightly toward minor.
 * Both Eebs together have an absolutely acceptable & necessary article.
 * Esmerelda: Delete & redirect if using a combined article, expand if using separate articles.
 * Esteban: Ditto.
 * Alamaya: Article sufficiently long for SEO.
 * Cesarina: Too factionally powerful & influential on a major book to ditch.
 * Akariel: Minor.
 * Anna Ash: Could be minor if condensed, no real harm as-is.
