other_name may contain a commonly used alternative name, nickname, stage name, pen name, or another widely recognized name.
birth_name should contain the person's name at birth when it differs from the commonly used name.
birth_date and death_date are the reader-facing date fields. They may contain values such as 28 June 1971 or c. 570 CE.
birth_date_iso and death_date_iso are optional structured-data fields. Use an ISO-style date such as 1971-06-28 only when the exact date is reliably known. Do not create an exact date from an approximate historical date.
nationality and citizenship should only be added when supported by reliable information.
notable_works may be used for important books, films, inventions, works of art, research, or other notable works associated with the person.
organization is useful when a person is strongly associated with an organization. employer should be used for an employing organization when relevant.
Family fields should only contain publicly documented and encyclopedically relevant information.
Do not add private addresses, personal contact information, speculative net worth, or other unnecessary personal information.
