which sounds like a classic case of having to jump through hoops. since the
information would be equally accurate whether they created a page for it or

Yes, but Wikipedia would have no easy way to gauge the intentionality
behind it, at least in this case we have good reason to believe that
they're acting on behalf of the subject of the biography, and can
treat anything they say accordingly, if it was just a random web page
then we don't even have that.
