User:Sju hav/Guidelines for articles about scientists, at Simple-wiki

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the largest Wikipedias, has some articles that I think Simple-wiki does not need (in the shape that the articles are in).
After presenting some of those articles, that arguably might not be good enough for Simple-wiki,
I will suggest possible guidelines.


Guidelines on Simple-wiki should maybe say:
Scientists discover and/or describe things often. Arguably not all such events are notable.
Has the scientist received one award, which makes her wiki-noted, or "stand-alone notable" ?
(A scientist can be notable (or noted) enough, that Simple-wiki leaves an article (where the title, is the name of the scientist) on the website. I will call such, being "stand-alone notability".)
Has the scientist made a discovery that has been reported by
Has the scientist received a combination of awards - scientific awards and other civil awards?
Is the combination notable?

Being part of the staff of Harvard or any other university, does not mean that it becomes automatic that all such persons are "stand-alone notable" (on Wikipedia).


Some scientists might be notable for having books published by notable publishers.

Some scientists might have become celebreties of some sort, after being a presenter on many documentary films.

Examples of things that alone might not be enough for a stand-alone article about one scientist[change | change source]

  • "he directed the excavations in Afghanistan at Bamiyan and Hadda on the sites of Tape Shotor and Tape Tope Kalan".
(Something like that, might belong in Archeology in Afghanistan)
