Category:Living people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To see recent changes to the pages in this category, see Special:Recentchangeslinked/Category:Living people.
This category is intended for use in articles structured as biographical entries for living individuals.
Purpose: Because living persons may suffer personal harm from inappropriate information, we should watch their articles carefully. This category exists to help Wikipedia editors improve the quality of biographies of living persons by ensuring that the articles maintain a neutral point of view, maintain factual accuracy, and are properly sourced.
Organization: This category should not be sub-categorized. Entries are generally sorted by family name.
Expansion: Per conditions set out in Category:Births of the last 123 years, each biographical entry delineating an individual born in 1889 and beyond (if year of birth is absent, earliest period of activity should be extrapolated), whose year of death is not indicated, should appear in this category. Individuals of advanced age (over 90) for whom no documentation has existed for a decade or longer, may be removed from this category and transferred to Category:Possibly living people.
Errata: Any individual born before 1889 whose year of death remains undetermined, should have this category replaced with Category:Year of death missing (the same application should be followed for individuals in Category:Possibly living people and those in Category:Missing people who had not been heretofore declared legally dead).
