There is no question that this model is of interest to wikipedia visitors, as her page was repeatedly recreated. I expect no changes, however, so for you admins who are working against the obvious demand for the article, please enjoy yourselves as you continue to ignore wikipedia's chief rule by enforcing secondary policies in a clearly unreasonable manner.)

How to Fulfill a request

For help on how to write biographies, start with these tips from the Wikipedia Biography Project

If you're looking for any old article to write, please also check oldest un-done biographies before tackling one of these. Of course, if one of these strikes your interest, feel free :D

Or you could go for the most-requested general biographies, jockeys, tennis

Also, add it to new biography articles page, and include a {{bio-stub}} tag if it's just a stub. You can of course, actually sort it yourself, check here or here for links to occupations and nationalities, amongst other things. And {{Hndis}} for human name disambiguation.

Notes
  • If you are writing an article about yourself, please see Wikipedia's policy on autobiographies.

Unorganized / Things to-do

The lists below were grabbed from other organizational schemes - it appears many of them were intergrated with the alphabetical lists, however not all of them made the transition (see Agnew) - and none of the other locations was redirected here, nor where those old requests deleted from those pages.

These need to be intergrated into the alphabetical list, double-checked, and then the professions need to be checked and broken out into the professions, then the professions not stored on this page need to be moved to their appropriate pages. Work in progress.

If you find a non-person in here, please don't simply delete it, place it at the bottom to be put back into the other request pages, or place it in the correct request page yourself.

Then, work on profession pages - and pull stuff from the bottom of each alphabetical list. Grab links to natural science, biz, mat, social sciences, etc, and make cross-linked and pretty

Link up potential foreign language articles under the appropriate language, then check to see if those articles exist, if they do not, then strike-thru the link, but leave it, so that people can see that you checked for information even if you couldn't translate it.

Add (FirstName LastName) alternatives to all (FirstName MiddleInitial LastName) requests - and then go check those disambig pages, a number of these requests are already done, but under a slightly different name, if we can find them. In the history see Ballard (removed 2008-02-27). Double check that all F M L have periods on the middle initial. Ditto for people with "fun" aliases in their names. Wackhead Simpson was already done, but had either " instead of ' in his article title name.

Anthropologists is still a major mess. A *lot* of potential requests got dumped on us, still working on cleaning up the names with correct spaces, filling in missing punctuation, and the like. Found some articles by filling in the first/last names, and alternative spellings - but so far I'm only to the letter D in adding those links, much less checking them to see if they're going to places that we're interested (re: these requests). And I've left that section in the finished area. Dunno if that's a good idea.


All red links from the List of Kyoto Prize winners; it's like not having the Nobel Prize winners mentioned in Wikipedia.

Historical Figures

Correct spelling is Trypho or Tryphon, who can be (or may have been intended to be, as a literary device) identified with Rabbi Tarfon, a Greek-trained philosopher. I'll try putting in a couple of redirect pages. There was a Typho- but that's definitely not this guy.

Perhaps Self-removed?

[516] - don't recall when this was added... but notability questions were on it as well

Perhaps Completed?

Double check if the blue-link is actually talking about the person described in the request, if the request had no information about the person, just delete it when doing cleanup.

Please use {{notability|biographies}} on the article if the stub/article is about someone non-notable.

Please use {{otherpersons}}, or another disambig, if it is about a person other than the person requested here. Include the disambig page (if you don't create it), and rename the requested article, then re-file it above.

And if you see one done in the request section above, make sure that it's been added to the new biography article list.


Ambiguous People

The information in these requests does not match the information in the article, please find out if they're the same people (and add this information to the existing article), or re-title with a different article name and re-file above.
