Technically, one can see which are major and minor storylines. That's not a subjective thing. The subjective thing would be involvement due to varying criteria.

Like I say, Emma, Regina (and Snow's), Rumple's story is what the show is based upon. It's pretty much all over the advertisment. Evil Queen getting her happy ending, Emma accepting her role, and Rumple finding his son.

The question tends to be if there's a heirarchal difference between them and the rest of the main cast. I think at best there's just a semantics argument.

Ignoring supporting characters, there are major and minor characters. Some may say main and major, but the meaning is still the same.
