As a response to this thread and a few others, I've created this page on the WM2012 wiki:
http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Visa_rejections
...in the hope that information gathered there will help future
Wikimania organizers assists participants to get visas and clear the
immigration process.

Stephen Wanjau, 04/07/2012 19:01:This is not needed. Visa problems were very well known when the decision has been made.
I wonder if there is a record somewhere that lists the prospective
attendees who didn’t attend Wikimania since they were denied Visa or on
any other grounds. Such a record would help us decide on future
Wikimania hosts with regards to easy of Visa acquaintance.
