Basically, all that we can can verifiably write about Mr. Peppers is that he exists, that he was convicted of committing some unknown minor sex offense and that his photo was mocked by Internet dimwits. That doesn't add up to Wikipedia material in my book.
But don't you see that what you have written there is the essence of what the article **should** say? It should be expanded a bit, but you've summarised it nicely.
If Wikipedia is to become the best repository of organised knowledge on the Internet, then if we **don't** mention something for which people are likely to search, we're going to look stupid.
If, on the other hand, we can authoritatively say "this guy was the victim of a prank meme, no more to see here", then people can be satisfied that they understand what is happening.
HTH HAND
