Disagree. I don't see the point of this category for multiple reasons:
 * Why make a category for that, if we're not making a category for the rest? What particular reason should we give a category to this particular category of characters? What not have a categoy for literary characters too?
 * Allusions and references are very very subjective. We see it everytime on the wiki, we basically never agree on how to consider this character or this character. We already add the allusions/references we agree to on the wiki (when we do); so why make a category where we basically tell to the reader: "this guy is an original one, no matter how you look or understand it!".
 * Characters change, their stories change, and so do their allusions. Sometimes, they are based on one version of a character, and it can be for one specific episode or not. You mentioned Henry as an original character... Well, you're wrong. For S1 to S6, you'd be right, but since S7, he is an allusion to Cinderella's Prince Charming. Even the writers admitted multiple times: some "original characters" are never totally original, they most of the time, write them with nods/allusions to a film or a story or a song.

Between the multiple changes and updates to the story, and our readers' subjectivity, I don't think we can seriously go ahead and tell them: "this one is an original one, no matter how you look at it".
