Summary of Subject Guide - Biographies
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Editing_Wikipedia_Articles_Biographies.pdf When writing a Wikipedia article, be sure to use accurate, reliable information without plagiarizing or close paraphrasing it. When choosing a person's biographical page to work on, be sure there are good sources about this person to write about (not written by the person). If you are thinking about starting a page for a person that does not exist yet, know that the person must meet Wikipedia's notability requirement, meaning they must be worthy of having a page on Wikipedia. When writing about a living person, it is important to have reliable information meaning it is not from primary sources and preferably texts with editorial supervision. In addition, if a detail is found in a single text and nowhere else, it is most likely better to not include it (be sure to avoid rumors/allegations as this may introduce bias while we want to keep the article neutral). In terms of organization, an article on a historical figure should include a lead, early life (context relevant to career), career/actions/defining experiences (chronologically with historical context), legacy (major contributions to field), and publications section while an article on a living scientist/academic should contain a lead, career (credentials, education in chronological order), research contributions (impact on field, awards/honors only if relevant) and legacy (most notable/cited publications) section. The lead should summarize the whole article and the first sentence should include the name of the person in bold, birth/death date in parentheses and description of person's importance.
