Also, if you are requesting an article on a living person, please see Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people and neutral point of view.

To make a new request, add the person's name under their profession or nation (or in both categories). Place it in alphabetical order by the person's last name.

  1. Name - be certain of the spelling; alphabetize by last name in each section.
  2. Date requested - so that older requests can be more easily tracked.
  3. Identifying information -- There are lots of James Smiths in the world; which one are you asking about -- the Scottish architect, the American rapper, or who?
  4. Notability -- if it isn't already obvious from the identifying information, describe precisely what makes them notable. Be concise.
