My example would be [[Baltzar von Platen]], an excellent example of a short
article that stands alone with useful and interesting links.

My new test case is [[Cyrus Cantrell]], an example less likely to provoke
distracting emotional responses than the previous one - ignoring the
genealogical connection. Dr. Cantrell is a not especially well-known
academic in the field of engineering, who has done research in
[[photonics]]. Assuming that no-one ever expands his article up to 20,000
characters (which seems likely), do you propose merging his article into
another one? Possibly into [[photonics]], or into a new article for the
research centre he heads? Both of these would require omitting some
biographical material not directly relevant to his work - we don't
generally give people's full names, qualifications, and a list of posts
they hold if we're only mentioning them in the context of a larger
subject, so information would be lost. What do you propose?
