I've never created a Wikidata profile about anyone, not even someone who is widely known. I've never created or edited a biographical article about someone who isn't really obviously notable, and who has a broad and widely known profile as verified in multiple non-Wikimedia (or Wikipedia/Wikimedia-related) sources.
No, I would never create an article about a Wikimedian - or a Wikidata profile either - unless they are clearly and obviously notable outside of our little microcosm. Frankly, with very few exceptions, almost nobody whose "notability" is primarily related to this movement is actually notable in the strictest reading of the policies of most of our Wikipedia projects. As far as I'm concerned, most of the Wikipedia/Wikimedia/other project-related articles on most of our projects are a prime example of navel-gazing rather than actual notability.
Further, I think it's terrible use of Wikidata to use it to store what are essentially the personnel records of Wikimedia volunteers.

I'm pretty shocked at this idea; in fact, if someone created a Wikidata profile about me, I'd have it taken down under applicable legislation.
... and yet you are an energetic volunteer for projects that assert the right to do that to other people?
