Wikipedia commingles the “facts” with the organization of those facts. What Wikipedia really is, is that organizational structure. Whether a developer has their own page, or is mentioned on the page of a product they created, is irrelevant in that both views acknowledge the same facts: the developer exists and the product exists and these things are related in that the developer created it.

It would be interesting if the database of facts driving Wikipedia were available to all, and Wikipedia is recognized as providing one of potentially many ways to organize/publish that database for human reading. In other words, if I want to add information about a composer and her composition to the database I can do so, and if Wikipedia chooses only to publish the composition but not the composer, that is entirely their decision.
