Worked out an approximation for the latter figure using the CatScan tool:
http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en&a…
Intersection of Category:FA-Class biography articles and Template:Blp
= 169 articles
http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en&a…
Intersection of Category:FA-Class biography articles and
Category:Biography articles of living people = 168 articles.
I sorted them in Excel and the total is 169. There are 36 articles on
music groups. Three "other" articles (a list, a criminal trial
article, and a summary-style daughter article). The other 130 articles
are on living individuals. I'll throw a list up on-wiki somewhere and
link from here.
