I didn't say anything about the 15 kilobyte rule at the time of proposal because A) it didn't apply to me and has a good chance of never applying to me later, and B) size is a good general estimate of how much effort is put into a profile.

Now that I think about it, 15 kilobytes is about 2,500 words, which is rather a lot for a character profile, and a concise writer could say everything they need to with much fewer than that. So, while a size minimum works in general, there are probably better metrics. Also--and I'm going to have to be That Guy, here--I think it's not shutting out low-quality characters as well as hoped. Almost 30,000 bytes of the Council of the Gods page consist of strings of infinity symbols, plus signs, and "nowiki" formatting artifacts, for example.
