A fact from Takeshi Murata appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 August 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Takeshi Murata's digitally animated kinetic sculpture Melter 3-D uses the principles of a 3D-zoetrope to create the appearance that its surface is fluid and rippling?
Nikkimaria, in [this edit] with the summary "mos" you, among other things, unlinked the subject's nationality. I have been including such links as a standard part of pretty much all biographical articles that I created or edited for 10 years now/ I don't see anything in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies that advises against this practice. Perhaps i missed a guideline or suggestion. Can you tell me where in the MOS this is mentioned? Consider that I have skipped right to the discuss part of WP:BRD, please.

Hi DES, MOS:BLP doesn't really deal with internal links one way or the other (except as regards post-nominals) - that particular change was per MOS:LINK. Specifically, IMO inclusion of the link fails points 1 and 2 of WP:OLINK (and arguably also WP:SPECIFICLINK), and is unlikely to be of particular benefit to the reader in this context.
