"a famous and important person"? Thryduulf 21:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
The first of many definitions in the OED is 1. a. A person of high rank, distinction, or importance; a person of note. Freq. with qualifying word, as great, important, etc. (and normal plural) SemperBlotto 22:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- I got "A person of importance; a man or woman of distinction; a being regarded as having an individuality like that of a human being". I thought the last bit about non-human personages was interesting. I can't recall ever having heard or read it used in that context though. Anyone? --Kylemew 16:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
RFV passed: this word is clearly in widespread use, and as far as I know this is its primary sense by far. If you're saying that you're familiar with this word, but believe its sense to be different, please re-list. —RuakhTALK 04:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
