Examples include [[Charlemagne]], [[James VI and I]], [[Christopher Columbus]], [[Andrew Jackson]], [[William Tecumseh Sherman]], [[Grover Cleveland]], [[Woodrow Wilson]], [[J. Edgar Hoover]] and [[Menachem Begin]].

For organizations, you must have the following requirements:

* Organizations that are still active and in an invulnerable position. Examples include [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]], [[Westboro Baptist Church]], [[Communist Party of China]], [[Antifa]], [[Fidesz]], [[Floyd Rioters]] or [[The Islamic State]].
