Audit: Concept Articles That Should Be People

output 2026-10-12

Summary

45 of 116 concept articles are person-profile duplicates — biographical articles filed under wiki/concepts/ that already have a matching article in wiki/people/ with the same slug.

In 44 of 45 cases the concept version is the older, richer article (created May–July 2026), while the people version is a shorter stub created later (August 2026). The concept versions collectively hold ~900 more lines of content.

The remaining 71 concept articles are correctly categorized (technologies, buildings, organizations, events, publications, places).

For each of the 45 pairs below:

  1. Merge unique content from wiki/concepts/<slug>.md into wiki/people/<slug>.md
  2. Delete wiki/concepts/<slug>.md
  3. Update any cross-references that point to the concept version
