If you are interested in people who are famous, notable, noted, significant, important, historic, heroic, or otherwise fascinating, then the Notables Project might be for you! 

The idea behind this post is for anyone who needs help with connecting Notables to the tree to post to this thread and ask for help, or if you want to tell us whom you have successfully connected up, or if you want to join the Notables Project and get a badge.

Besides checking out the Notables Project page, don't forget to take a look at the Notables List page, where you can find lists of Notables who have profiles which aren't yet connected to the main tree. (For ideas on way to connect unconnected people and branches, see the Hints and Tips on the Connectors Chat page.)

Notables should fulfill the criteria to have at  least one Wikipedia page in any language to qualify as a Notable. But an entry in the country's NATIONAL Who's Who or a NATIONAL Biography is also acceptable as well. 

The Notables team will decide if a Living Notable's Profile can be made Public or not. Usually that means the Notable has at least 3  Wikipedia Pages in other languages. The page or pages must also include the name of at least one close or nuclear family member (Specifically parents, siblings, spouse or child). if the page should also happen to list grandparents, aunts/uncles and cousins in the "other relatives" list, those would also be helpful.

I would like to add William Stanley Johnson who is a politician, historian and genealogist from Saba. He has a wikipedia page in Dutch, a website biography and is the author of multiple books, including one (Tales from my Grandmother's Pipe: A History of Saba by Sabans) with an appendix with a branch of his genealogy which ends with this quote "In case you were wondering what this is leading up to? Just bragging man, just bragging!" I've seen some confusing criteria for being considered, so thought I'd ask here.

As long as he has a wikipedia page, no matter what the language is, he should qualify.

Can you please post a link to the Dutch Wikipedia page?

Just post it here as a comment or you can edit your original post above.

Thanks.

French politician  Jacques Delors, who served as the eighth president of the European Commission, has died. I did at least a basic profile of him.

by Josef Klamo G2G3 (3.7k points)
Thank you. The France project would like to co-manage his profile and that of his daughter.

After a request on Discord, I have created a profile for the famous Italian navigator and explorer, Giovanni Caboto (aka John Cabot).  He has now been handed over for management by the Italy Project.
