* There are memorials which regularly get deleted from Wikipedia. A few handfuls of them have escaped deletion and are waiting in VfD/Old to be migrated to a separate wiki for such content. (Content about modern people, or the recently deceased, often hard to verify) * There are also regular bios of modern people who don't seem encyclopedic, which find their way into the Wikipedia dustbin. * Finally, there are people who would love a place to collaborate on genealogy, but recognize that the large collection of structured stubs such a project would produce, would be somewhat anathema to current Wikipedia article standards. The proposal for a Wikimorial/Wikipeople wiki grew slowly out of the above points; Mav's original idea was called Wikimorial, and most of the old discussion on meta is at [[m:Wikimorial]] ; more recent discussions about the name have touched on Wikifamily, seem to prefer the name Wikipeople. The memorial wiki has become as much a dumping ground for obits of people killed in the disaster, as a memorial to the event and its extensive aftermath. Some of the obituary content of the current September 11 memorial wiki might be better suited for a Wikipeople project (and linked to from a list on the memorial wiki, for instance). I would like to see a Wikipeople wiki get off the ground, to help clarify where certain content related to people should go, and to encourage contributions from editors on genealogy and 'unencyclopedic' people. Please comment. -- +sj+
