On Wikipedia, one of the most sensitive issues are those dealing with biographies of living people. It is Wikipedia's mission to give special attention to making sure that all information on living people is fair and accurate and does not defame the person. It is for this reason that inclusion guidelines pertaining to living people are held by a higher standard.
Notability of person
[edit]Please study the introduction of this essay on making solid arguments in deletion discussions.
Example:
- Keep Well known person within his community. – Area star 02:02, 2 February 2002 (UTC)
- Keep Has over 4000 friends on Facebook. – Popularity contest 02:02, 2 February 2002 (UTC)
All persons with articles must meet all inclusion guidelines. Simply knowing people by numbers is not one of them.
