Wikipedia for individuals
Type your name into Google — or ask ChatGPT who you are — and the answer is assembled from public sources, weighted by trust. A neutral, well-sourced Wikipedia biography sits at the top of that hierarchy: consistently among the most-cited sources in AI answers, and the backbone of Google's Knowledge Panel. We build biographies that survive review — for people whose record supports one.
Who it fits
Wikipedia has dedicated notability guidelines for people. They reward a documented public record — not seniority, wealth or follower count. These are the profiles we most often take to publication.
This page covers biographies of living people — the individual track of our Wikipedia page creation service. The mechanics are the same; the notability bar for a person is judged differently, and usually more strictly.
Coverage of your decisions counts; coverage of your company does not transfer automatically. Funding rounds and exits help when journalists profiled the person behind them, not just the deal.
Fund launches, notable exits and market commentary in financial media build a documented record — especially when the press writes about your thesis, not only your portfolio.
Books with independent reviews, citation records, named chairs and research covered by mainstream media are among the clearest notability paths in the guidelines.
Reviewed releases, charted records, exhibitions in recognized galleries, festival selections. Critics writing about the work matter more than streams or followers.
The most concrete criteria on Wikipedia: top-tier league appearances, national-team selection, championship results. Easy to verify, hard to argue with.
Being quoted as an expert is weaker than being written about. We look for profiles of you and coverage of your impact — not collections of soundbites.
National and regional officeholders usually clear the notability bar — and attract the most scrutiny on the platform. Expect stricter sourcing, mandatory disclosure, and a biography that will document criticism wherever reliable sources have. We build these regularly; we also decline them when the record argues against a page.
Building a presence for your company rather than yourself? That track is covered on Wikipedia for companies.
Personal notability
Editors judge a biography by its sources, not its subject's CV. This split decides most outcomes, so it is the first thing we check.
| What counts | What doesn't |
|---|---|
| Profile pieces about you in independent media — a journalist chose to cover you | Your own website, LinkedIn profile or company bio — self-published, by definition |
| Published books with independent reviews in recognized outlets | Podcast and YouTube interviews where you are the guest promoting your work |
| National awards or recognized industry honors with press coverage | Press releases — regardless of how many outlets reprinted them |
| Institutional roles: professorships, board seats, public office | Paid features, sponsored profiles and contributor posts |
| Documented public impact: works, products or decisions others wrote about | Follower counts and engagement metrics, on any platform |
If most of your record sits in the right-hand column, a page attempt now would likely fail — and a deleted article makes the next attempt harder. We say this at the audit stage, not after an invoice. For how editors apply this to founders specifically, read when a founder becomes notable independently of the company.
The honest part
A Wikipedia biography is not a profile you own. It is an encyclopedia article about you, governed by policies designed to resist self-promotion. These four risks decide whether a page helps you or hurts you.
You cannot neutrally write about yourself — Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest policy exists because nobody can. Undisclosed agencies get exposed in coordinated cleanups, and their clients' articles get deleted wholesale. We work disclosed under Wikipedia's paid-contribution rules: slower, but it survives.
Anything that reads like a LinkedIn bio gets flagged fast. “Visionary,” “award-winning,” “thought leader” — promotional language is among the fastest routes to deletion. Neutral, attributed statements of fact are what hold.
The single most common reason biographies get deleted. Two in-depth profiles in independent media outweigh fifty interviews, mentions and press releases. If the sources are not there, no writing quality saves the article.
A Wikipedia biography documents criticism too. If reliable sources covered a lawsuit, a failed venture or a public dispute, the article will include it — and neither you nor we can remove it. We assess whether a page helps or hurts before building one, and when the answer is “hurts,” we tell you and stop there.
The deletion mechanics in detail: why Wikipedia pages get deleted — and what survives.
How we work
Every personal engagement starts with the audit, because the honest answer to 'should I have a page?' is sometimes 'not yet.' No drafting starts before the verdict.
Step 1
We map your full media footprint against Wikipedia's biography guidelines and deliver a written verdict: proceed, build coverage first, or don't. The audit fee is credited toward page creation if you proceed.
Step 2
We select the independent sources that will carry the article and tie every planned claim to one of them. Anything that cannot be sourced does not go into the draft.
Step 3
A policy-compliant biography in encyclopedic tone: verified facts, dates, attributed assessments. Nothing you would put on a book jacket.
Step 4
We publish under Wikipedia's paid-contribution disclosure rules and answer reviewer questions during moderation, openly.
Step 5
90 days of post-publication monitoring. If the article is challenged, we defend it through Wikipedia's discussion process — with sources, not arguments.
Our biographical work runs at a 93% publication success rate. If an article does not survive after three defence attempts, we refund 80% — terms on the guarantees page.
Pricing
Four line items cover most personal engagements. The audit is the entry point — its fee is credited in full if you proceed to a page.
€490
Written verdict on your publication chances before any commitment. Credited in full toward page creation if you proceed.
Core service
from €1,300
Research, source map, neutral draft, disclosed publication and moderation defence. Other language editions quoted separately.
€550
The machine-readable record behind Google's Knowledge Panel and AI assistants. Often the right first step when a full page is premature.
from €420/yr
Monitoring, updates and defence for an existing biography — one we built, or one that already exists.
Every service and language edition is listed on the full pricing page.
Where to go next
A personal page is not always the right first move. Match your situation to the service that actually unblocks it.
Start with the standalone audit. You get a written verdict and a list of source gaps — before any drafting money changes hands.
Then the page comes second. Build the independent coverage notability rests on first — so the biography has something to stand on.
Corrections go through Wikipedia's editorial process, with sources. We fix factual errors, restore balance and keep watch so it stays fixed.
A biography is one layer of how ChatGPT and Gemini describe you. Entity records, a personal LLM hub and the rest of the source stack do the remainder.
