Wrong. It only says he lives in Sweden.

removed from wikipedia thus making dwm notable.

As you said, it is the first hit and it points to suckless.org
i could not care less about what an article on wikipedia says about
dwm, if a potential user reads the article, as long as the reference link

we should artificially create notability.*
*Not a serious suggestion.

Well, that's exactly the point.

notability. If it's not mentioned on cat-v.org, it's not worth knowing
about. ;)

Maybe we should just lobby some "credible" tech blog and get them to make a
