I learned about him only recently and despite his supposedly strong influence, he isn't talked about much.

Fwiw, I hear about Deming so often that my bias is that he’s over represented! Then again, my dad was in the field so he was practically revered in my childhood.

Yep, same. My dad introduced "total quality management" into New Zealand and I heard about Deming a hell of a lot growing up.
