MyWikiBiz:Directory namespace

Directory Namespace is a Centiare custom namespace that supports advocate point of view (APOV) for "user-owned" pages.

The basic rule-of-thumb to determine whether an article should be listed under the Directory namespace or be placed within Main pages is: "Would the entity have legal standing in a court of law"?

If the answer is yes as to whether the entity could bring a cause of action as the plaintiff, or respond to a complaint as a defendant, then it should be listed under the Directory namespace. Examples:

• Commercial Enterprise - International Business Machines
• Non-Profit Organization - WikiMedia Foundation
• Government Entity - City of Huntington Beach
• Person (Living/Deceased) - Estate of Marilyn Monroe

If the answer is no, then it should be placed within Main pages. Examples:

• Central Index Key
• North America Industry Classification System
• Sir Issac Newton
