My criteria for noteworthy persons:
1. Relevant to the topic.

2. No objection from the person in question, if he/she is alive.

3. The question is not what great you have contributed as an employee, it is how far you can go for your cause. That is why several CEO/CTO/COO etc. are excluded from the list.

4. They have setup or initiated or heavily promoted some movement or organisation or institution (related to the topic) to help/harm public.

5. They associate themselves with the cause till their death or till the time of editing this book.

6. Noteworthy does not always mean notable (famous) persons.
