There's certainly an argument to be made there. However, I'd suggest that listing every person that is linked in any simple way to another that is deemed unsavory would have the Wiki page of every politician be a list of of unchecked facts and meaningless, irrelevant information. For example, without reading the entire thing, I wouldn't imagine George W. Bush's wiki page mentions anything about his families business connection with the Bin Laden family, although this was alleged and reported on, as well.
True enough. However, the difference is that Obama himself had connections with these figures, and these connections aren't merely alleged.

Like I said, I agree with the Birth Certificate issue not being mentioned on a biographical page of Obama. But his admitted connections to such players as Ayers and Wright do seem relevant.
