Kinda getting jealous of people with wikipedia pages. I want my own, but I don’t want to be known for something bad (such as mass murderers). What’s the easiest method?

        If you have a few or more references, then it has a better chance of surviving on Wikipedia. Otherwise, it’s considered low quality/importance.

      You can’t edit Wikipedia pages on a topic to which you have a close connection/conflict of interest.

      Also WP:Notability

        Which is funny because it routinely happens as well as nation states hiring small teams that start edit wars occasionally IIRC.

          I mean yeah, but people also regularly steal things despite it being against the rules. Like those, wiki rules are enforced (theoretically) as a best effort.

      I mean that is a technically correct answer, but they’ll just delete it because they can’t have a bunch of wikipedia pages about every person in the world.

      I did this and they removed it and I reposted it and then they threatened to ban me lol

      Granted this was decades ago when I was a teen, but I doubt they have changed.
