This
category is for 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. By adding an article to this category, it marks them with anotice about sources whenever someone tries to edit them, to remind them ofWP:BLP (biographies of living persons) policy that these articles must maintain aneutral point of view, maintainfactual accuracy, and be properlysourced. Recent changes to these articles are listed onSpecial:RecentChangesLinked/Category:Living people.
Organization: This category should not be sub-categorized. Entries are generallysorted byfamily name.
Maintenance: Individuals of advanced age (over 90), for whom there has been no new documentation in the last ten years, may be removed from this category and transferred toCategory:Possibly living people.
Errata: PerWP:BDP, any individual born before 1910 whose living status remains undetermined should have this category replaced withCategory:Year of death missing (the same application should be followed for individuals inCategory:Possibly living people and those inCategory:Missing people who had not been heretofore declared legally dead).
