Includes music groups, but excludes politicians (unless they are also celebrities for other reasons, including Nelson Mandela). Includes royalty. Includes genera as well as species names. Requirement for "celebrity status" is (somewhat arbitrarily) that there is a Wikipedia article on the person (or group), but that they are not a taxonomist (nor a politician only, nor an early explorer only).
