{{Category explanation|articles structured as biographical entries for living individuals}}
'''Purpose:''' Because living persons may suffer personal harm from inappropriate information, we should watch their articles carefully. By adding an article to this category, it marks them with a [[Template:BLP editnotice|notice about sources]] whenever someone tries to edit them, to remind them of [[WP:BLP]] (biographies of living persons) policy that these articles must maintain a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]], maintain [[WP:AD|factual accuracy]], and be properly [[WP:CITE|sourced]]. Recent changes to these articles are listed on [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Category:Living people]].

'''Organization:''' This category should not be sub-categorized. Entries are generally [[WP:SORTKEY|sorted]] by [[family name]].

'''Maintenance:''' Individuals of advanced age (over 90), for whom there has been no new documentation in the last ten years, may be removed from this category and transferred to [[:Category:Possibly living people]].

'''Errata:''' Per [[WP:BDP]], any individual born before {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-115}} whose living status remains undetermined should have this category replaced with [[:Category:Year of death missing]] (the same application should be followed for individuals in [[:Category:Possibly living people]] and those in [[:Category:Missing people]] who had not been heretofore declared legally dead).
