dubious additions
[edit]I have no honest idea why Steve Biko (anti-apartheid activist) and Erving Goffman (Canadian sociologist) are on this list. I searched the Biko article for mentions of "existence", and only came upon the tag demarking his membership of that particular category. I've read Goffman extensively and as far as I can say, haven't met anything meriting his inclusion on this list. If nobody responds within 7 days, I shall delete those two persons from this list. 213.185.9.72 (talk) 10:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- Lists should have rules, as this isn't obvious here,
feel free to "adopt" Sasha Grey here, and if you do, please note this list in Sasha Grey#See also.–84.46.52.225 (talk) 04:56, 8 April 2019 (UTC) - All dead with only two exceptions, maybe that should be a rule here, it is no "blpo" list.(background) –84.46.52.225 (talk) 10:45, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

[edit]I'm not a Kafka expert but in my opinion there are three mistakes in the caption: "Czech Franz Kafka a short-story writer and factory manager". He wasn't Czech, he wasn't a short story writer and he wasn't a factory manager. Any Kafka experts around?Michtrich (talk) 14:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Michtrich, He definitely wrote short stories; if you're referencing his novels, he only wrote a couple and one was unfinished. I have changed his job but he was also certainly Czech, tho the modern-day state of Czechia did not exist at the time, of course. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
