Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Paleontologists

The Paleontologists Taskforce hopes to improve articles about paleontologists. These assesments are by WikiProject Palaeontology.

Goals
Current coverage on Wikipedia regarding paleontologists is lacking, both in article quality and number of articles. This taskforce aims to expand and improve articles regarding the individuals who have contributed to paleontology and better document their contributions, as well as fill in red links to scientists on other pages associated with WikiProject Paleontology.

Requested Articles
Please review Wikipedia's notability requirements for scholars before requesting or creating articles.

Simply publishing articles or naming species may not be sufficient to establish notability, and there may not be enough material to write a satisfying, complete biographical article.
