GNOME co-founder deemed not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article

This is a very interesting, and yet disappointing situation.<p>Advent of web, twitter-verse and numerous other feeds and mailers carry news faster than traditional media (i.e. the ones which Wikipedia deems reliable third party sources.) and plenty of that news is reliable too.<p>Notable? Perhaps not, until 48 hours later when someone from the snail-media pushes it out with a few link-baits on it.<p>Justified? Perhaps not because news is news, and if it has reached millions of people, notable it is already. Apparently, world of news is in some sort of transition. We're all hung between a hard rock and a cliff!

Not white enough like Matthias Ettrich and Miguel de Icaza.
