I've seen Wikipedia support that hypothesis but I'm curious as to the extent of information that can be extrapolated about his life.
It's possible. We don't have any contemporary texts of Gilgamesh but we have extant inscriptions from contemporaries of him as well as a list of builders of a certain sanctuary that mentions him(although parts of the list could in principle be legendary). So it's not directly proven that Gilgamesh was a historical figure but the evidence we have doesn't contradict it or rule out the possibility either and I don't think anyone would be massively surprised to see actual evidence for him turn up.
