It's easy to come up with a counter-example by making stuff up. Why not just say "William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist and chairman of Microsoft. [[Paul Allen]] is a person."
Sheesh. Ok here's a real example, from the first article I tried, [[Montmartre]]:
In the popular cabaret the [[Moulin Rouge]], and at [[Le Chat Noir]], artists, singers and performers regularly appeared including [[Yvette Guilbert]], [[Marcelle Lender]], [[Aristide Bruant]], [[La Goulue]], [[Georges Guibourg]], [[Mistinguett]], [[Fréhel]], [[Jane Avril]], [[Marie-Louise Damien|Damia]] and others.
The context tells us that all those people are "artists, singers [or] performers". But which are which?
You might not know whether they're "artists, singers [or] performers" (*), but you know one reason why they're all notable - they appeared in Moulin Rouge and at Le Chat Noir.
(*) which doesn't really make sense, aren't singers and performers both artists? If this sentence meant "artist" in the "drawing pictures sense" then
Fortunately, by hovering over each of the names, every single lead sentence tells me. Most seem to be actress/singers, but La Goulue and Avril were dancers.
Seriously though, who cares?
