Categorisation is done manually, completeness varies from project to project and by topic area in the project. On the English language wikipedia we probably do have most of our novelists categorised as such. Deaths are a very different matter as many of our articles never pick up on the subject&#39;s death. However the anomalies that I&#39;ve found there tend to be among people whose notable careers started and ended in their youth - sportspeople particularly. So I would suggest that a query for &quot;1941 births&quot; and &quot;writers&quot; might well give you what you want.<div>

Jeremie, FT2,<br>
<br>
thank you very much for your advice.<br>
<br>
Do you have any idea how complete these lists are? Are they done by<br>
hand, or is there a bot compiling these lists? And in any case, is there<br>
any way to estimate how completely they cover a given category?<br>

All the best,<br>
