There is no single Who's Who. There are lots of Who's Who publications, from lots of different publishers, of varying degrees of quality and selectiveness. Always have been.

There have always been, as there are now, people who think being in Who's Who is A Very Big Deal. Right or wrong, I've never been one of them -- not even back in the 70s and 80s when I was in high school (and had the distinct honor of being selected to be included in Who's Who Among American High School Students) or college (ditto for college students). I've never seen it as anything more than pandering to ego and self-aggrandizement.

The significance is so that we can all see which NPC group had more members "recognized" in Who's Who than any other NPC group, and had more than any other GLO, save one, period.
