A google search for: "Peter Lewis", quantum , returns 776 hits. While a few are unrelated to Peter Lewis most refer to him. The number of hits for his name only increase if other combinations were searched for, e.g. "Lewis, Peter" quantum, or "Peter J. Lewis" quantum, etc. Not that I put a lot of stock into google searches when it comes to rating academics studying the intricacies of an incredibly complex and mathematical discipline.

Peter Lewis is an active player in group of living philosophers attempting to achieve some understanding in regards to quantum mechanics. He is well published in highly respected philosophic journals. And while you might not find him notable enough for the Wikipedia encyclopedia, he does appear in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's entry on "The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics". I submit to Wikipedia that any philosopher who is notable enough to have their arguments/philosophy appear in such a prominent encyclopedia as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, is notable enough to have an entry on Wikipedia.
