How to recognise living Nobel Prize recipients in person profile

+5 votes
245 views

Hi,  I am related to a living Nobel Prize recipient. There are several public profiles for her:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Blackburn

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2009/blackburn/facts/

Her WT profile is {{Blackburn-7191 | Elizabeth Blackburn}} with privacy obviously Black (unlisted)

What is the accepted WT method of recognising living NP recipients or is this only done once they are no longer living  ?

Should she be on a notable list or am I jumping the gun as it were ?

John, she very much qualifies to be a Living Notable on WT (yellow locked profile (Private with Public Biography and Family Tree), and PPP) -- BUT, she must have a Project as co-manager.  As an Australian, the Australia Project would love to be involved in caretaking her profile with you.  If you'd like to private message me, I can walk you through the needful.

Hello John,

Thank you so much for alerting us to Elizabeth Blackburn. It is so interesting to read her biography and achievements. I'll send you a trusted list request, and you and I can talk further about her profile and how she can be recognised on WikiTree. Regards, Gillian

I personally do not think she qualifies to be a Living Notable.

She must have a Wikipedia Page in at least 3 languages - YES - her page has 70 languages

She must have a close family member mentioned - NO - there are no parents, grandparents or siblings mentioned at all.

And only one spouse!!

I personally do not consider a spouse to be helpful. For his family, yes. For her family, not at all.

Spouse is listed as one of the nuclear family members for Living Notables.
