The title of the Wikipedia page is "List of American Philosophers," not "List of American Academic Philosophers."

There are many types of philosophers, including metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of religion, etc. Philosophy Without a doubt Wilber falls into at least one of these categories.

Others in the list such as Walt Whitman, Thoreau, and Emerson are not exactly academics, though the latter two would surely end up on any list of American philosophers. Emerson worked as a pastor.

In short, there are many different types of philosophers, and the list is simply about American philosophers, not American academic philosophers. I think it violates Wikipedia's neutrality policy to keep Wilber's name off.

Best Wishes,
