[edit] Reason for expansion notice

I can't seem to figure out what the point of this system is. Why is it useful to sort groups by this system of delineation? Who suggested this system? Either this information needs added, or I'm going to add this page for deletion. Why? Because my reasoning is that this is either a novel system of organization, in which case it is "original research" and should go, or it is a redundant recitation of simple facts which are easily found in more commonly seen areas, and its only distinction is that it is organized in a way that is, sadly, unfamiliar to most people.

Give information about who thought up this system of organization and why and what its history is, and this article should stay; leave it the way it is, and it should go. --72.240.124.125 03:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

This was originally a series of articles 1 E1 people, 1 E2 people etc. I merged them together. Some of the individual articles were placed on AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1 E2 people and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1 E1 people), but there was no consensus to delete them. I'm not too sure how to improve this article and agree it is not really very useful in its current state. --TimPope 16:32, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
