Move Personal Name Subject Headings to Concepts/Topics
600 Subject added entry - personal name headings are currently displaying as Contributors/Persons. This is making it difficult to find additional resources ABOUT a person. When the person appears in the Subject field, they are not really a contributor, they are the Subject. Displaying these headings as Contributors is confusing. I believe this is on the roadmap but it would be nice to see this addressed sooner than later.

I believe the one on the roadmap is called "Remove Persons as a Subject from Contributor Suggestions" and only addresses the showcase suggestions but does NOT propose to either a) move 600/610/611 from the Author search index to the Concept search index or b) move 600/610/611 from the Persons facet to the Concepts facet. We would like to see those steps happen as well.

For us at The Genealogy Center, this is quite critical; we may have several hundred surname headings among subjects in a given record, none of which refer to contributor.

A person as a subject is not a contributor!! that's why there are separate fields and for autobiography both 6xx and 7xx are used
