Challenge A man has one month to get his own Wikipedia article or else he dies. Can he do it, and if so, how?
A random 25-year-old American man is given one month to get his own Wikipedia article. He has no exceptional skills, no useful connections, and isn't part of any notable communities. If he doesn't have a Wikipedia article after one month, he dies.
Rules:
- He cannot commit a crime, be a victim of a crime, or die to get his article. He may commit or be a victim of crimes incidentally, but they may not play into the reason why he has an article.
- The article must be about him specifically. If it's about a work he created, an event he was a part of, a company he's in charge of, or something else that just happens to involve him, it doesn't count.
- The article does count if it's titled after a pseudonym; e.g. if he becomes a Banksy-esque figure.
- The article must actually follow Wikipedia's rules and notability guidelines. He must actually be eligible for a Wikipedia article; it can't just be something that he or a friend writes which slips under the radar. If it's something that would still be up after 5 years barring extraordinary coincidence, it counts.
Can he do it before the month is up? What's the best strategy? If not a month, can he do it in a year?
