Is this a conspiracy? Or is it more accurate to say that Wikipedia is dominated by the academics and the TV media outlets?

They do, many big youtubers and internet celebrities have their own Wikipedia pages and if they don't they usually have their own wiki.

Anyone can make a wikipedia page in the first place if they want to.

Some internet personalities have Wikipedia pages, such as PewdiePie, h3h3Productions, nigahiga, and even Filthy Frank.

Because they aren't actually celebrities.

My point was that not enough internet celebrities get Wikipedia pages made for them.


So your point is that people who, for 5 minutes, become famous are too lazy to create a Wikipedia page? Color me surprised.

There's nothing wrong with creating your own Wikipedia page but some people prefer to leave that to others.

You're probably going to be more specific because this is the first thing I pulled up when googling Wikipedia Youtube Celebrities.
It's also a case where someone has to write and submit the page so the more "notable" internet celebrities would be the ones who most likely have a page due to the amount of information available. Anybody else would have the option to make their own page but they also have to have the desire to do so.
Basically if somebody assumes they're famous enough for someone to make them a wikipedia page, yet doesn't have one, they probably aren't that famous.

They also need to want to make their own page in spite of the popular opinion that they aren't even real celebrities.

Honestly, my position is anyone who leaves it to others is not worth even thinking about.

Are there any that even deserve a wikipedia page?
