List of economists in Wikipedia
This is incomplete (it doesn't list my entry, for instance), but it makes for fun browsing. Note that Bryan Caplan still makes the cut, despite a debate over whether he is Wikipedia-worthy. He is a "notable," most of all in my eyes: "It seems to me that the fact that someone would bother to try to delete me is notable per se."

"(it doesn't list my entry, for instance)" --> Fixed.
This lists are maintained by hand. I fixed some alphabetizing mistakes while I was at it.

I must ask again, why is Krugman in there?!? ;-)

Yeah, Acemoglu, Tirole, Kreps, and others of comparable quality are clearly not good enough to be there.

What the heck? The list includes Jacques Parizeau, former Premier of Québec? Don't get me wrong, he was a de facto economist, having done his Ph.D. in economics, but to include him in that list of economists is a huge stretch. He is known for having been one of the strongest proponents of Québec independence, not for being an economist (even though he has been Minister of Finance.) If he is to be included, the list should include other Québec (academic) economists such as Marcel Dagenais, Jean-Marie Dufour, Robert Lacroix, and Claude Montmarquette. Does that list blindly search for the term "economist" in the tagline?

The list is clearly uncomplete. I think the important thing is not to omit notable economists. Who cares if somebody is mentioned even if he should not. I'm not happy with M's post. I think Tirole and Kreps should be on top of that list. The former is one of the most prolific economists of all times and a pioneer in contract theory, industrial organization and competition policy. Take a look at his 17 pages of publications in top journals. Plus 3 textbooks (Game theory, Io, corp. finance). plus 7 other influential books. (and he is "only" 50) What about Kreps? well... I would say just what you said. It is of comparable quality.

Tirole is not dead?

That I am "viewed as a mathematical economist" is mentioned in the
entry for my father, whose name is the same as mine, except for the
"Jr."

Wikipedia, in it's glory, has a second (arguably preferred) list of economists, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Economists,
to which Tyler has just been added.
