Discuss amongst yourselves.
So to make sure I understand properly, this is saying that currently, roughly 11% of all articles in the English Wikipedia are biographies of living people?
If so, yikes.
I'm curious how much of the article count biographies in general (of either living or dead people) make up as well. I guess you'd have to follow the category tree of the (much less well known) [[Category:Dead_people]] to figure that out and add the two up ... the upper-level people categories seem a bit disorganized.
Re: Rambot -- it's a self-fulfilling prophecy :) if you have articles about places, then clearly you need articles about people who live in those places... right?
