Real life people are not supposed to be troped, even in reference to their career.

At most you can include common elements of their work, but troping their personal life is not what Creator pages are for.

Yeah, it's not restrictive; we don't treat real-life people as though they're characters.

Note that for Creator pages (not sure about Music) Trivia entries are fine on the main page, e.g. Real-Life Relative or Those Two Actors.

There's an ongoing discussion on whether Brahms should go in Creator/ or Music/, which seems relevant to link here.
