Have vague memories of asking about this long ago. Though for the life of me,
can’t recall the rationale offered at the time?
What is The Minifigure in the eyes of BL? What constitutes the idea of
the minifig within the catalog?
There are varying examples of gray areas, taking just one: A micro build comprised
entirely of common parts, none unique or specific to the character, nor to the
archetypal concept of a minifig,
unless you consider this piece within the build, relatable?
The Lego Minifigure, concretely, not in the abstract; what is it? And what are
the respective guidelines, if any, for those having to work within the catalog?
So many questions, so little time 
-Thanks

In my mind it has to have a figure shape, I have no problem with calling
a minifigure even though she is half slope-brick but
doesn't really count as a minifigure in my mind even though it is still a
character in the Star Wars universe.

| To me a minifigure is a character; something with life or life-like characteristics(like
robots). Now don't ask me to differentiate between minifigures and animals,
because that is a bit more of a gray area.
