dubious additions

I have no honest idea why Steve Biko (anti-apartheid activist) and Erving Goffman (Canadian sociologist) are on this list. I searched the Biko article for mentions of "existence", and only came upon the tag demarking his membership of that particular category. I've read Goffman extensively and as far as I can say, haven't met anything meriting his inclusion on this list. If nobody responds within 7 days, I shall delete those two persons from this list. 213.185.9.72 ( talk) 10:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Lists should have rules, as this isn't obvious here, feel free to "adopt" Sasha Grey here, and if you do, please note this list in Sasha Grey#See also.84.46.52.225 ( talk) 04:56, 8 April 2019 (UTC) reply
All dead with only two exceptions, maybe that should be a rule here, it is no "blpo" list.( background) – 84.46.52.225 ( talk) 10:45, 26 January 2020 (UTC) reply

Caption in header

I'm not a Kafka expert but in my opinion there are three mistakes in the caption: "Czech Franz Kafka a short-story writer and factory manager". He wasn't Czech, he wasn't a short story writer and he wasn't a factory manager. Any Kafka experts around? Michtrich ( talk) 14:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Michtrich, He definitely wrote short stories; if you're referencing his novels, he only wrote a couple and one was unfinished. I have changed his job but he was also certainly Czech, tho the modern-day state of Czechia did not exist at the time, of course. ― Justin (koavf)TCM 19:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC) reply
