    If you have a Wikipedia page you’ve either succeeded in life or mucked up pretty bad (same goes for having a law named after you). Apparently Wikipedia has very strict rules against contributing to or creating pages about yourself or a business you own/work for.

    i have never looked for myself ( if have a page )

    but some of my associates had brushes with fame , i think some might

    Searching for Periods of Volatility: A Study of the Behavior of Volatility in Thai Stocks

    https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/lkcsb_research/1166/
    and co-wrote plenty of text books and other books on finance , markets and computer modelling , but only a triple Ph. D. and faculty dean so maybe brains doesn't count at Wikipedia

    and then there was my martial arts master

    The Greatest Kung Fu Story Never Told: The Gold Lamborgini, The Purple Suit and a World-Class Moustache

    now my memory of events differs from those relayed here ( rather markedly ) not that sifu was any sort of pussy-cat , but was smart and owned some prime blocks of land
    IMO , too smart to do much of which was alleged .

    here is one

    Yvonne Chapman

    Yvonne Chapman - Wikipedia

    sadly you don't get many politicians like her , and she was spot on with the toilet doors , drug exchanges and use was rife as well


    very strange who gets a page and who doesn't

    It's me. I was an executive producer on a documentary - in other words I was an investor and got given the title of EP as a perk for putting in some money.

    This was the documentary/movie Fame Us (2017) - IMDb

    There were 10 possibilities.

    A quick cross reference to another source got it.
