12 episodes is too high. Considering that a season is only 13 episodes long, a lot of key recurring actors for that season might appear in only 6-9 episodes.

For characters, I think it should depend on the character's role on the show. A character with a very crucial role might appear in just one or 2 episodes while another character appears in 4 or 5 episodes without doing anything significant to deserve a page. Sometimes, you have a new character who appears just once with so much buzz that they shoot to the top of the most popular pages on the wiki, with more views than even main characters. I've seen this happen so many times on my wikis. That means, people are interested in reading about the character and the wiki should be the best resource.

My rule is usually that, if a user wants a page about an arguably minor character/subject to be kept, they should first put the effort to get enough content and put the page in the correct layout/format. However, if they create the page with very little content, then they can't justify the need for the page and it can be deleted.

So, I think instead of setting a policy based on a black & white technicality, it should be set on significance and whether or not the page content has good quality and quantity.
