Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Wikipedia people
I wouldn't be entirely averse to repurposing this as a very specific list of people who have had a ''significant'' influence on Wikipedia/Wikimedia (Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger, Magnus Manske, even Carolyn Doran). The current {{tq|people associated with the online encyclopedia Wikipedia}} is hopelessly vague; at what point does "occasionally edits Wikipedia" become "associated with Wikipedia"? This kind of list is barely workable for things like TV programs, where at least it's clear whether someone has appeared on a given show or not. For something like Wikipedia, where we quite often don't even know if the person claiming to be a given celebrity is actually that person or not, where people regularly create accounts to edit a particular topic (usually themselves) but never participate any further, and where we have a governance system both internally and on the Board of Trustees which may as well have a revolving door, this is arbitrary and unworkable. Are Poppy Z. Brite, Peter Hitchens, and Sasha Grey "Wikipedia people" because they occasionally edit Wikipedia? ({{noping|Pzbrite}}, {{noping|Clockback}} and {{noping|Madjabuds}} if you're curious.) If not, why not, and why does whatever arbitrary line you're drawing to exclude them not constitute |original research?&nbsp;&#8209;&nbsp
