Cartoon Characters and Puppets Versus Actors and Actresses
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.

These are Jeff Dunham Characters - Not Names:
Jeff Dunham (II)
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0242278/
An award-winning ventriloquist
Two of his characters are apparent homages to characters
performed by previous famous ventriloquists.
Bubba J" strongly resembles Mortimer Snerd, performed by Edgar Bergen.
"Jose the Jalapeno on a Stick," who has a face but no body,
is similar to the disembodied head in a box performed by Señor Wences.

Unfortunately, our statistics currently don't distinguish a person from a non-person,
as we group all name pages on the site together in this reporting.
Although I'm not sure when this suggestion will be addressed,
I have filed a ticket for the appropriate team
to review concerning name page identifiers for person vs. non-person
and to request that our statistics reporting reflect the differentiation.
