A person is a human being (man, woman or child) known to have actually existed. Living persons, celebrities and politicians are persons, as are deceased persons.
Note: A person topic is distinct from a user in Metaweb. Users have profiles that can only be edited by the users themselves. A person topic can be edited by anyone and is intended as a factual representation of details about a person.
-
living persons, celebrities, politicians, etc. (e.g. Jeff Kinney, Julia Roberts, Barack Obama)
-
deceased persons and historical persons (e.g. Anne Frank, Henry VIII of England, Brittany Murphy); these should also be typed as a deceased person.
-
groups of people like twins, duos, couples (e.g. Bob and Mike Bryan, Wayans brothers, Brangelina); there is currently no Commons type to use for this kind of concept. A number of user-contributed types exist which can be used, for example notable couple, people and twins.
-
pseudonyms, stage names and pen names; these should in general be merged into the aliased topic.
-
given names
-
Use the given name type for people's names (e.g. Michael, Lia)

professions, ranks and titles

Use the profession type for people's professions (e.g. nurse)

the representation of a real person in fiction

these should be given a separate topic, which is then linked to the real person by the "based on" property of the fictional character type (which will co-type the person as a person or being in fiction). See for example, Henry V of England (the real person) and Henry V (the representation of the real person in fiction).
