Why would any truthful information not be worth creating? Storage is incredibly cheap nowadays and search engines are amazing at filtering out low viewed pages so it wouldn't obscure more popular/useful pages either

Especially when they receive standing ovation from several governments and a slew of controversy ensues in the media. Wikipedia has articles on random ass chemicals that surely only 2 guys will ever refer to, and local disasters or earthquakes or phenomenon that no one ever talks about. But yes, I do ageee that the rage bait is very enticing to users here

One downside for Wikipedia would be people making vanity pages for themselves or their friends. Those kinds of pages would generate a lot of noise in search results.

Because it makes some pathetic Nazi schmuck famous for no reason. People have had to go through Wikipedia and delete all sorts of crap honoring and glorifying Nazis. Having a Wikipedia page for a guy who's only claim to fame is being a Nazi who lived a long time and got invited to parliament isn't really enough justification. Having his own article suggests he's a notable person, which he isn't.

Well it's not really about him it's more about the event which is definitely notable enough to warrant a wikipedia page

A good portion of the discussion in the review was recommending a migration to the event instead of the person
