Portal:History/Featured biography

Process
This section uses a derivative of the layout template of the Selected article section of this portal, as the two sections are the same in form if different in content. If you wish to add a new selection to the article, use the following template:

Added biographies should be Featured articles about prominent (or not so prominent) historical figures, and should be added to the first available slot, and then the max= parameter of this section's Random portal component template should be incremented. A current list of eligible articles can be found here; non-biographies should be nominated to the Selected article section instead. Try to avoid systematic bias; this section's selections were crafted to represent as wide a world view as possible. Lastly, if for some reason you wish to nominate a non-FA biography for inclusion, you can do so in the Nominations section at the bottom of this page.

Nominations
I nominate Joseph Smith as a featured biography.217.230.253.110 (talk) 17:27, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to have to say no, because, as you'll notice all of the articles in this section are Featured articles, and Smith has failed a FAC and two GACs, in the recent past; it does not meet our quality standards, sorry.  Res  Mar 19:57, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
