Public-life index

A shared name is not a claim of cousinhood.

Release R1 publishes the standard for public-life profiles before publishing profiles. Public visibility does not erase privacy, establish kinship, or make every personal detail relevant.

Eligibility standard

Why no profiles appear yet

The inherited page mixed cited and uncited statements, included living people, and invited third-party nominations without a completed consent and review workflow. Those inputs need item-by-item verification and privacy review. This policy page is substantive; the list will follow only when the first reviewed tranche passes.

Literal forms stay literal

A profile filed under one spelling does not automatically enter another spelling's totals or imply that the forms are equivalent. Cross-form discovery will wait for an adopted, testable name-relationship policy.
