Updated page with list of fellows I found online
Here: https://cstead1.medium.com/a-complete-list-of-all-thiel-fellows-and-their-companies-86d42706cecb (https://airtable.com/app8X19L4YuEue2Cx/shrJ3eIC5Y6WaJELR/tbllhqO1zt0r0yTGb) is a list of Thiel fellows.

1. Ctrl+P: print to pdf

2. pdftotext -layout airtable.pdf

3. :%s/^\d\+\s\+\(.*\)\s\+\d\+.*/\1/g followed by :%s/\s\+\n//g in vim to just get the names

4. Then use the following Python code to check whether the names have a Wikipedia page:

import requests

def has_wikipedia_page(name): """   Check if a given name has a Wikipedia page.    Returns True if the name has a Wikipedia page, False otherwise.    """ base_url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php" params = { "action": "query", "format": "json", "titles": name }   response = requests.get(base_url, params=params) data = response.json

# If the page is missing, it means the name does not have a Wikipedia page. pages = data["query"]["pages"] for _, page in pages.items: if "missing" in page: return False return True

return False

if __name__ == "__main__": # Filepath to your file filepath = "names.txt" with open(filepath, "r") as f:       names = [line.strip for line in f.readlines] for name in names: if has_wikipedia_page(name): print(f"{name} has a Wikipedia page!") # else: # print(f"{name} does not have a Wikipedia page.")

5. Then loop manually to eliminate (a lot of) false positives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aristotles (talk • contribs) 14:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
