Potential Discoveries by... categories
This is a near-complete list (at least 95%) of 342 (for now) missing discoverer categories, based on the current MPs found on WP. This is a reference: not all warrant creation (i.e. if someone discovered only 1 MP, maybe 2), and duplicates may exist if multiple names are used for the same discoverer. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 16:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
