This is an extensive list of 10,000 biographies I believe are vital to the global Wikipedia community. This list is designed to represent the articles on the most notable persons in different walks of human life. As it is difficult to compare the notability of persons in different fields of work, the list is intended to be based on quotas for each field. This list requires extensive refinement and prioritization on the basis of topic-by-topic analysis.
