I'm with Axel. I think a project with the goal of world-wide biographies could be interesting, but Wikipedia is not such a project.
I also agree. One of the first things I did when the new Wiki software came along with its lovely User: subspace was to delete my old "home article" completely; I don't belong in an encyclopedia, I'm nobody important (yet :). Yes, Wikipedia has effectively unlimited space, but even so there are things which aren't IMO appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia no matter how big it is. They distract rather than inform. Encyclopedias are an overview of human knowledge, not the sum total of it; that's what the _rest_ of the library is for.
