The following are lists of articles with problems/syntax errors in Persondata. Feel free to remove/strike out articles which have been fixed. Moreover, any articles that lack problems, but have been flagged (and are likely to be flagged again in the future), should be moved to the last section, "Articles without problems". Articles may appear on more than one list.
