Common sense has to be the starting point as to ''what'' we write here on WikiIndex. I would like us to follow same principles used for biographies on the [[English Wikipedia]] for living people. I have noticed (during my extended sabbatical) many wiki people articles here have been dramatically trimmed down - some are now verging on being a stub article. Fundamentally, if specific information about a wiki person is already in the public domain - and is related to their wiki activity, then we should also use said info here on WikiIndex. Furthermore, because these 'wiki people articles' are what could be considered a biography, we can also feasibly include a wider range of info on said person.

:To learn from the vast experience in creating biographical articles which is condensed in the Wikipedia guidelines is certainly a form of common sense. We only need to check those guidelines and adapt them to our situation and purpose. --[[User_talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 16:29, 22 January 2017 (PST) | |||
