As for how Find a Grave defines "famous":
If you believe a person on this list may be non-notable, please place them in a separate section at the bottom of that list's page under the heading "Possibly non-notable", and with a short explanation of why you believe the person to not be notable. As usual, only delete a blue link from this list when you have verified that the person linked is the same person on Find a Grave's site. Some of the items on this list are not people, but memorials, etc. Please follow the same process mentioned above for determining notability.
When calculating how close we are to being finished, we count both verified and non-notable as "done"; we don't expect anything further to happen to these names.
When using the {{}} template, the first parameter is the ID of the Find a Grave entry. Copy the ID from the Find a Grave URL.
Further instructions for using the template can be found at: . Below is an example of the template using all available parameters:
Take care when adding information from Find a Grave to articles; Find a Grave is not considered a reliable source, since anyone can edit information there. If the information can be sourced from reliable sources, that is best; if the information can be considered at all controversial, seriously consider not adding it.
If you add facts from Find a Grave into the article, add Find a Grave as an external link, not a source, and add a comment <!-- like this --> explaining what information you have fetched from the page. This allows people to check your facts with Find a Grave, but does not assert that the fact has a reliable source.
If you don't enter any material, or if all the material you add is sourced from reliable sources, do not add a Find a Grave link.
