Apparently this guy is a dick.

Also, why does he deserve a Wikipedia page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Cantrill

Does being a dick remove someone from history?

Primary contributors to projects smaller than DTrace have wiki pages, and I bet at least a few of them are dicks. I suppose wipe those out too.

Why don't you read the Wikipedia notability guidelines, or look at the history of the 13 year old page you just linked and find out?
Usually what happens is that they themselves create their own wikipedia pages. I see that all the time. I don't get why wikipedia allows that, it's becoming a collection of resumes.
