  • Date requested – so that older requests can be more easily tracked.
  • Identifying information – For, example, there are lots of James Smiths in the world; so specify which one are you asking about -- the Scottish architect, the American rapper, or who?

  • Reference – add a link to a reference which identifies the person and/or highlights their notability

Also, when adding a request, please include as much information as possible (such as webpages, articles, or other reference material) so editors can find and distinguish your request from an already-created article.

I think he should be included here due to an active fan base and rising career; has more fame than some of the Blaine graduates already listed here. Wiki says this article was deleted in 2010 due to sockpuppetry, but the guy probably learned his lesson, and we should make him an article. He is notable now.
