Does every Wikipedia entry about a person in Europe need that person's permission before it can be published? Can I make Wikipedia delete my Wikipedia page permanently with no way for anyone to ever to recreate it? What about a blog post? If a write about a friend of mine doing something on my blog, do I need my friend's written permission before I can post?
Actually, articles on non-famous people require extra notibility as there are more protections for libel. Helpfully, most people with wikis are famous.
If there's a large enough public interest, then information about a person can be published.
And no, I can't just create a wikipedia page for my neighbor and post their phone number there, that'd be illegal and would get me into serious trouble.

I'm guessing that this answer is "no."
