Category:People stubs

This category is maintained by WikiProject Stub sorting. Please propose new stub templates and categories here before creation.

This category is for stub biographies of people. You can help Wikipedia by expanding them.

To add an article to this category, use {{bio-stub}} rather than {{stub}}. Please use a more specific template where possible.

Do not use {{bio-stub}} for the entries of fictional characters – use {{fict-char-stub}} instead.

A good biography article should include all or some of these items:

• where and when the person lived.
• what they did in life that made them significant enough to be in this encyclopedia.
• Add at least one explicit category under Category:People possibly including a profession and nationality (don't forget a sort tag).
• Link the article from the appropriate List of people by name.
