For biographical articles, the consensus appears to me to be that it is one or more the following:

a thing for which they are notable per WP:NOTE and/or WP:BIO, and hence the reason for which there is a wikipedia article on that person (e.g. being a notable mathematician); or,
a fundamental detail of biographical data which assists in identifying the person through the usual records (e.g. nationality, year of birth and death); or,
(more controversially) a significant quality of that individual which may be unrelated to either of the the above but which sets a person apart from the majority of her or his peers and which groups people with a similar quality, which is why for example we sometimes categorise LGBT people, through the principles set out at WP:CATGRS.

Wikitable as a text box[edit]

Reasons for splitting an article include: The subject of the new article has a notability of its own right and is therefore of a higher level of interest to some readers than the original article Having the new article allows for a better linking from, and the population of, lists, portals, categories, topic outlines and indexes Where an article has sections for different countries splitting out any country section that is out of balance with the other countries avoids systemic bias issues to some degree Splitting an article may reduce any clutter of External links, See also links and Further reading references. In the new article they will be more applicable to the topic Wikipedia continues to grow and it is easier to split articles earlier and let the individual articles expand rather than attempting to extricate information from a lengthy article at a later date

Ponder[edit]

Kiwis Against Seabed Mining (KASM) is an environmental group established to warn of alleged environmental risks associated with the mining of the sea bed around New Zealand. In March 2005 an application was lodged by Australian company BQL for a minerals permit for exploration prior to mining black sands off the West Coast of the North Island. This was the determining factor for the formation of KASM. KASM was originally Raglan based but now has membership and organisational groups in Piha, Raglan and Taranaki with support from many other environmental groups. February 2007 saw Rio Tinto (one of the world's largest mining companies) acquire the majority share of the West Coast North Island placed seabed prospecting permit previously held by Iron ore NZ Ltd.
