It would be worthwhile to go back for the last 5 years of chemistry/physics nobels and see how many winners had a Wikipedia page. Maybe this has been done, but I haven’t seen it.
If had to guess, I bet it’s not uncommon to not be in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not as much of interest to most in the academic research environment and as noted by others, these folks are often not well known outside their specialized disciplines.
