The irony here is that Jimbo can't really /prevent/ us from creating an 
article about him without using a bit of heavy-handed dictatorial power 
(which he usually seems loath to do).

So, it would seem, that if enough of us think there ought to be an article 
about him, his "permission" would be hardly necessary. :)
