Because he's a notable figure, and we should have articles on notable 
subjects.  Just because he's noisy about it doesn't mean we should treat 
it differently, and his noise level has made him the poster boy for 
folks who want to have subjects dictate content.

If it weren't him, it would be someone else.  If you don't want to be 
noteworthy, don't do things that attract attention to yourself.
