    Depends on who you are.

    If I wanted to, I could probably get an article about me on there within about a week — I know some editors, and have third party documentation of me on the Internet going back over 30 years. So I’d just have to ask someone to do a writeup, pointing to the notable things I’ve done.

    However, I prefer anonymity so it’s unlikely I’d do that.

    All it would take is one notable contribution to popular culture to get yourself added.

    Easiest way to start if you’re an absolute Internet Nobody would be to get yourself written up by a local newspaper. Then do a bit of SEO so that popular online sites link to things about you and what you’ve done. Then get a few other people to start asking Wikipedia editors why they can’t find out anything about you on Wikipedia when you’re all over the Internet.
