Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography

Scope

The Biography WikiProject concerns the creation, development, and organization of Wikipedia's articles about persons (including but not limited to biographies). It includes only articles about individual persons, not about an organization or group or association, unless a substantial section of the article is a biography of a person related to that organization or group. It includes biographies of only real humans; thus, the project does not cover other animals or fictitious persons (such as pseudonyms) or fictional characters. As of 24 November 2024, there are 2,039,056 articles and 8,366 lists within the scope of WikiProject Biography, of which 1,891 are featured and 8,415 are good articles. As of 8 January 2024, according to WHGI and based on wikidata, only 390,582 of Wikipedia's 1,980,258 biographies are about women, amounting to 19.72%.
