Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

Good, bad, biased, paid or what-have-you. There's an endless supply.

The Sugar Shack, a painting by Ernie Barnes. well known as part of the intro for 70s television show Good Times, and as the cover art for Marvin Gaye's masterpiece I Want You. recently sold for $15,200,000.00. it is mentioned in Barnes's biography but a multi million dollar artwork should have its own article. i of course blame wikipedia's racism and lack of diversity. :P

If you type "David Geier" into WP's searchbox, you don't get an article on David Geier, you get the article about his late father Mark Geier. Both notorious anti-vax crusaders and promoters of questionable medical practices, both sanctioned by the state of Maryland for practicing medicine without a license.

Since DAVID Geier was recently hired by RFK Jr, not having an article about him is absurd.

A draft was finally created today, after months of squabbling and confusion.
