Some say that there should not be too many "red-link scientists" in an article.

Temporary need for this list

There (arguably) is a need for this list.

Move to "national list"

Basis for the list

[change source]

The most important thing for a list is a to be well defined. For this list, that means "what are the basic standards needed to be on the list?" On that note, I suggest the following guidelines:

  1. All countries should be represented if possible
  2. Each country gets up to 5 representatives. The full 5 would be ideal, but with some countries, we will have problems filling that number.
  3. The entries should be well known for their work in a field of science. Being better known for something else is acceptable as long as they are also well known as a scientist, not just well known and happens to be involved in science in some capacity.
  4. When possible, a variety of fields should be represented. The list is already too heavy in terms of economists.
  5. Variety should be considered for other aspects of the entries such as sex, race, orientation and era but not more-so than pure notability.
  6. Red links are fine to pad out the list but not at the exclusion of articles we have unless the red-link is highly notable (they should already have a page but it could happen..)

These types of lists face many difficulties. Having a firm base to work on, a well defined scope and guidelines for inclusion help a lot. --Creol(talk) 06:18, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think user:Creol's rules are simple enough.--In regard to "red-link scientist": I suggest that we only have that when the country has no "blue-link scientist".--The title of the article says "scientists"; The title does not indicate that people who are more famous as politicians, should be excluded; I am fine with those politicians/scientists not being excluded from this list. 89.8.87.64 (talk) 07:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Simple enough?

I have now [1] moved the Argentine scientists to "List of scientists from Argentina". Simple enough? 89.8.87.64 (talk) 06:50, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
