Most Famous People without a Wikipedia Article
I've seen a few discussions of this over the years, and Mark Deeks put something on Facebook about it the other day, but amazingly it would appear that there's no thread on here about it. Consider that changed.

^ Lest there be any doubt, Mark grew up in England in the 90s and measures the world as a whole on that basis.

The Wright brothers as well.
I don't think much of Shovell from the M People though. I was perfectly well aware of the M People at the time, but the only individual I was aware of was Heather Small.

I can Imagine lots of members of even greater groups than M People will have members without Wiki pages

Without wanting to be indelicate she didn't achieve much of note apart from Disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Again on a touchy issue, neither Ian Brady or Myra Hindley have individual pages.sean d wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2017 11:59 pmGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:31 pmThere is no article for the actual person

Interesting. We could ignore people who have a de facto page about events strongly related to them, although it's not very precise.James Laverty wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2017 10:44 amAgain on a touchy issue, neither Ian Brady or Myra Hindley have individual pages.sean d wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2017 11:59 pmGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:31 pmThere is no article for the actual person

Re: Most Famous People without a Wikipedia Article
I think sometimes when one is familiar with some people one can assume that they are more well known than they are in general. In the case of Gabriela Cowperthwaite, its amazing how many people know the Blackfish movie so maybe i have just assumed its director is as famous as the movie itself (obviously a bad assumption)Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2017 10:51 pmThese are nearly as
