No, I'm not asking why those with Who's Who entries that lack Wikipedia articles lack Wikipedia articles. I'm asking why those who chose to opt out of Who's Who (by not sending in an entry) are not allowed to opt out of Wikipedia. Sometimes the reasons for not wanting to be publicly listed in a publication like Who's Who are the same as for not wanting to be listed in Wikipedia.
