Since maths articles on wikipedia reference research papers and books, I wonder who is the mathematician/scientist who has the most wikipedia citations without having a wikipedia page?
answering this question is made a little more difficult by the lack of a consistent bibliography style on wikipedia. I have seen the same work in the references with Firstname Last name; Lastname, Firstname; Lastname, F.; .. so far I haven't seen F. Lastname ..
@ccppurcell I'm going to guess Heidi Burgiel. She's mentioned in some 287 articles, mostly as a co-author of _The Symmetries of Things_ in articles about polyhedra and polytopes. The other two authors of the book both have articles.
@11011110 ah I should have thought to just ask you directly! Also that book happened to catch my eye on a professor's desk the other day. I'm not sure of the notability requirements for mathematicians but surely there is a case for her?
@ccppurcell The book may be notable but for Burgiel herself we would need to make the case that there is something more than just the book. Articles where there is only a single point of not ability tend to get deleted or merged; see WP:BIO1E
