Category:Living people
This is a category for all articles on currently living persons.
- 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.
- Organisation: This category is not intended to be browsable and should not be sub-categorised. Wikipedia:Category math feature can help list more specific living persons as alternative to sub-categorisation. Entries are generally sorted by family name. As of 2 April 2006, there are 81,930 articles in this category.
- Maintenance: See Special:Recentchangeslinked/Category:Living people or Gmaxwell's living people trouble report.
- Expansion: For a list of people who either need to be added to this category or need a deaths category on their article, see Gmaxwell's report (note the current lag of that server though). For those with unknown death dates born after 1882, you might add Category:Year of death missing, or Category:Possibly living people.
- Errata: For people who died, please change the category to Category:Year of death missing or to the category for the approximate year of death. For disappeared people, there is Category:Disappeared people. For persons where no recent news is available Category:Possibly living people may be used.
