DATA EQUALITY BUG: What is necessary to get a Factbook entry

I have run into two cases where books contain chapters on unnamed Biblical characters lack Factbook entries where similar character sometimes with lesser roles do have Factbook entries:

Wise woman of Beth Abel Beth Maacah who appears as a topic but not a person
Israelite slave girl serving Naaman's wife

Branch, Robin Gallaher. Jeroboam’s Wife: The Enduring Contributions of the Old Testament’s Least-Known Women. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2010. devotes entire chapters to both of these

I can't speak for Sean, but I imagine the reason is that the first batch of Bible Dictionaries that were used to build the list of Factbook entries had articles on those topics.

For example, Naaman's Wife's Slave Girl is in Every Woman in the Bible (which interestingly doesn't mention Naaman's Wife):

As for not having a Biblical People entry, Sean's comment here probably applies: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/170228/986090.aspx#986090

Thanks Bradley ... this is a case where I didn't guess the correct name and thus missed the fact that she was there. Good catch. I had gone to the Bible to find the coding.
