There are historical reasons why Epicureans don't get as many google hits as follows of Plato (and not just that the bloggers aren't that into them this year) and that not as much is generally known about them. The fact that some ancient authors aren't as "notable" as others is an outcome of centuries of debate, with some thinkers being pushed forward and others left behind, all of which was heavily influenced by Christianity. That doesn't mean they weren't influential to their contemporaries.  A classical Roman scholar, whose name and a bit of bio has survived the centuries is notable, even if only for that.  I don't believe that  exists to dumb down wikipedia, but rather to prevent folks from writing about themselves, their neighbors or their brother's band.  I essentially agree with
