Notability before biography
Generally an article should mention some reason why the person is considered sufficiently notable to be the subject of a Wikipedia article BEFORE going into biographical details. Often this is in the first sentence (e.g. "John Xmith is a Slobovian mathematician who solved the celebrated Hilbert's 24th problem, which had withstood the efforts of many mathematicians since the year 1900."). Almost always it will be in the first paragraph. Michael Hardy (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
