			:Of course it has to be subjective, but I've never heard a mention of Moore or Hui from anyone who isn't an APL user. What's Moore famous for, writing an ALGOL compiler? [[wikipedia:ALGOL 60#ALGOL 60 implementations timeline\|Lots of people]] have done that and most of them don't even get Wikipedia pages. Brenner is really borderline; I might remove him now that I see his Wikipedia article was almost entirely written by Roger Hui and not anyone interested in law or DNA. --[[User:Marshall\|Marshall]] ([[User talk:Marshall\|talk]]) 22:24, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
