Thanks for bringing this to our (well, mine, anyway) attention. It was troubling when it first showed up on BLPN in May and it's still troubling that so many (all male, looks like) editors are missing the point of BLP and UNDUE and are so dismissive of the career accomplishments of the subject of the article, despite ample evidence of them in that article. We obsessively document career details of every minor voice actor and porn star, but dismiss career documentation from gold standard sources like The New Yorker and The New York Times when it comes to interior design. (This isn't a strictly gender issue, I've had the same argument with editors over literary theorists and fields like that outside of the tech/media orbit.) I doubt this would happen with the article of, say, a wrestler, where a bunch of male editors would insist that the sports career is utterly meaningless in the face of something like a brief cameo appearance in a Lars von Trier film.
