I think Sam Bankman-Fried should be removed from this page.
I don't think this page is especially conducive to combatting hero worship, but even if we decide to keep it I think we should rethink who is included and excluded from this page (maybe with a poll?)

He presented as a committed EA (without judging whether or not he was honest that it was a lie), he was and is prominent, and excluding him would be scrubbing history.
Edit: there are many reasonable frameworks for inclusion, but if we're including philosophers I've never heard of, we should include the five most famous EAs (and SBF is undoubtedly in that list).
