In any case, it's in the multiple tens of thousands, so I
think we can agree that the original Wikipedia article writer
didn't dig up Brian Peppers from the obscurity of the Ohio
sex offenders registry.
Nevertheless, that's the only source we have. Everything else merely
references it or comments on it.
As for why you don't have an article, I
would've thought that
is fairly obvious. Unless you're famous in some area I don't
know about, it would seem not very many people have commented
publicly about you.
115 000 hits, Mark. That's more than the chap with the face.
If they have, or if you do something
that causes a few thousands of people to write about you,
then I should think you ought to have a Wikipedia article.
115 000 hits, Mark. That's more than the chap with the face. Start writing.
