February 2008 list of featured biographical articles
This is a list of the featured single-person biographical articles as of 23 February 2008. It may be useful for selecting future articles. I obtained the list by excluding music groups and featured lists from Category:FA-Class biography articles. It may also be possible to order the list chronologically, with the list of living people at the end a good starting point. Carcharoth (talk) 04:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
