Even if you were just CEO of Bomis and Wikipedia was
started by someone else, you'd still deserve an
article. But as head of a giant free encyclopedia
project, the biggest and most useful wiki in
existance, you definately deserve one. There are
already stubs about you in other langauages, such as
polish. Why can't these accomplishments be enough?

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. :)
