Start with the most important people in Scripture.
This first public release of Bible People pages gives visitors a clean landing page for the figures they are most likely to search first: covenant anchors, kingdom figures, prophetic witnesses, Gospel front-door people, and early-church leaders.
The goal is not a thousand thin stubs. The goal is a trustworthy starting set of pages that help normal visitors orient themselves quickly.
Why this route exists
The Bible-data page already points people toward entity trails, but many visitors still need a clearer landing page for a person before they are ready for larger search or chronology lanes. This route gives them that front door.
A first wave of major profiles
This release starts with the people most likely to help a new visitor orient quickly. Each page is meant to answer: who is this person, why do they matter, where should I read, and what should I do next?
