Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Top 100 historical figures
Gives undue weight to a particular method of ranking. From the sources, it is clear that some of the resulting quirks resulted in this study gained plenty of news coverage, but that is short-term coverage only and due to the  policy, insufficient.

(Even then, the title would need to change, this article is more about Wikiedia's coverage of history than it is about historical figures as the title suggests
