Claim ID
hds-relative-completeness
Assertion
The HDS follows the lexicographic principle of 'relative completeness': the importance of a subject from the present point of view determines article length, but so does the current state of research on that subject. Lesser-known persons and themes receive proportionally more space than major figures.
