The title makes it sound like she’s some random Joe. Random Joes don’t have Wikipedia entries.

Jessamyn isn’t a random Joe. But any random Joe can in fact make a Wikipedia entry, as long as it comes with verifiable facts, that’s kind of the point of Wikipedia.

There are almost a million pages for living people, according to this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Living_people They’re not all famous, they just usually have publications by them or about them.

That's what I wish Wikipedia was, but unfortunately it's not so: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people...
