Add your request in the most appropriate place below.

Before adding a request please:

Biography requests are ALPHABETIZED and organized by profession and nationality; add your request to both categories if possible. Keep requests alphabetized by the person's last name.

ENTRIES MUST INCLUDE:
  • Name – be certain of the spelling; alphabetize by last name in each section.
  • Identifying information – For, example, there are lots of James Smiths in the world; so specify which one are you asking about — the Scottish pathologist, the American rapper, or who?
  • Notability – if it isn't already obvious from the identifying information, describe precisely what makes them notable. Be concise.
  • Reference – add a link to a reliable source reference which identifies the person and/or highlights their notability
Please also add the Date requested – so that older requests can be more easily tracked.
  • Do not duplicate existing requests. Search for similar requests:

Also, when adding a request, please include as much information as possible (such as webpages, articles, or other reference material) so editors can find and distinguish your request from an already-created article. Roughly three references and a short description should be sufficient.

Please don't forget to add the requests to the pages sorting biography requests by nationality!
