Excuse me while I write articles on Anthony DiPierro, Justin Cormack, and the rest.
If you can find third party, verifiable information on them, I look forward to reading your articles.
Well I know exactly what third party verifiable information about me is out there (well I hope I do). It would produce an amazingly incoherent article: odd spells alternating long and short in Universities, directorship of a Russian restaurant, couple of rather dull drivers in the Linux kernel, old Usenet postings about food, edits to wikipedia, strangely inconsistent official addresses, detailed positionings in space and time based on my photos in Commons, place and time of birth, fact that closest relative with an article on wikipedia is my uncle, several pictures under free licenses.
Actually that list looks alarmingly like some of the articles we do have on wikipedia, random collections of facts without a narrative and organizing thread to make them into really good articles.
