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)
 * Since the Eric Zitzewitz article was recently changed, I picked it somewhat at random. How does it link into the rest of the wiki? What links here shows one direction, but where are the target links, i.e. pages that are linked from this article? That's a key part of the under linked issue for this category of articles. --Peculiar Investor 16:34, 6 January 2016 (EST) ✅--Blbarnitz 18:18, 6 January 2016 (EST)
