    * Does your research project involve names of individuals, institutions, groups, or corporations?
    * Did these names exist within the last 80 years?
    * Are these names likely to have been mentioned in books, magazines, or newspapers?
    * Are these names associated with the worlds of government, institutions, finance or organized crime by virtue of power, position, wealth, or notoriety -- rather than being the names of celebrities from sports or entertainment, or notables from science, literature, or the arts?
