Wikipedia has criteria for how "noteworthy" someone has to be, before they're considered of sufficient interest to merit their own Wikipedia page.That seems to be based on popular awareness, i.e. the living ones have been on telly at some point. Given that the list is currently missing the likes of Richard Bradley and Clive Gamble, there are some significant players who are more likely candidates for new pages than grassroots workers (as heroic and talented as they may be to the archaeology community).
If someone is currently "unsung", my feeling is that creating them a Wikipedia page would probably result in its summary removal and a stern warning for the creator.
ETA: Actually, Richard Bradley does have a Wikipedia entry, but it's not linked from the page supplied above. Try this for a more comprehensive list:
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archaeologists"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archaeologists
[/URL]... although that doesn't include all of the archaeologists listed as "British Archaeologists" (it's missing Timothy Darvill, who's apparently a "British Archaeologist" but not an "Archaeologist"). Before suggesting new entries, maybe someone should try tidying up and sorting out the two lists so that they at least agree with each other.
