To do this correctly a new minifig entry should be requested.
If you are trying to prove a point, yeah, there should be a better definition
of minifigs, and it is a very hard task...
This part, for example, is not attached but neither can it fall from the minifig.

As others have said, it's an integral part of the minifig. I'm not so
sure there is a rule about things having to attach, but in this case, and in
the other case you raised with the jewel, we'll make an exception instead
of changing these inventories.
The skis are another issue. It used to be they were not added consistently, then
we started adding them as a rule, but now we are thinking of removing them. We
need to wait until there is a decision about this before moving forward.

???
The rule not to have ski's is already in place and has been since 2018. See
the page I quoted when making the requests, it is the reason I quoted the rule
and made the changes. I was not aware that if something is a published rule it
is still something is being thought about or that needs to be decided on.
And just to be clear, and a general point for all who have left comments, I was
not making these requests to prove a point. The issue is that the site is removing
listings for incomplete minifigures from sellers stores. If we cannot know what
the site consistently defines as a minifigure and what consistently needs to
be included in minifigures and how set inventories are done, it makes a mockery
of the listing requirements. If we cannot trust the site to enforce catalogue
rules evenly and even-handedly across the board, the catalogue cannot be trusted
and then listings cannot be trusted.
While I am sure that reasonable sellers would not exclude these parts from minifigures
they sell, there is in fact nothing that precludes a seller from doing so. If
the rules are bad rules, change them. If the rules are good rules, apply them
consistently. That way management improves the catalogue and hence listings and
hence the site overall. That would be infinitely better than the current unwritten
substance over form rule which cannot be appealed.
