Category talk:Academics

Purpose and role within the wiki? At a minimum most articles are Underlinked.
What is the purpose and role in the wiki for this group of articles within the overall context of the wiki? Wouldn't many be best served as Wikipedia articles? Other than well-known Bogleheads&reg; authors, I don't see many of the people mentioned within this category being discussion in the forum. Based on some limiting sampling, I don't see many of the articles within this category linked to other articles (other than other Academics) and therefore they probably should all have the underlinked tag applied as they needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the wiki. Given the recent refresh activity to add Infoboxes to most articles, perhaps a second pass could be done to add links to help integrate them into the wiki. --Peculiar Investor 10:26, 6 January 2016 (EST)
