A shower thought with a long history:

Herostratus (Ancient Greek: Ἡρόστρατος) was a 4th-century BC Greek, accused of seeking notoriety as an arsonist by destroying the second Temple of Artemis in Ephesus (on the outskirts of present-day Selçuk), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The act prompted his execution and the creation of a damnatio memoriae law forbidding anyone to mention his name, orally or in writing. The law was ultimately ineffective, as evidenced by surviving accounts of his crime. Thus, Herostratus has become an eponym for someone who commits a criminal act in order to become famous.

Nah, vast majority of murders are not noteworthy and the killer has no article.

The quickest and easiest way would be to make one for yourself.

Killing a single, random person isn't going to get you anything.

Not really. You have to kill someone whos famous enough in their own right to get a page (organically not just a bs make your own). Tons of folks get killed everyday and the killers don't get a page.

Someone once said that if you wanted your name to be known forever, your best bet would be to eat the Mona Lisa.

Actually, the easiest way is to just go edit Wikipedia and make the page. It might violate rules, but so does murder

Shooting up a school is the easiest way to go from nobody to everyone talking about you the next day. Grim but true.

If I were a dictator I'd probably make it illegal to publish the names or any other information about the shooter. Even better if media wouldn't report on the shooting at all but I feel like prohibiting that would be taking it too far.

Or you could just make one for yourself? Can you not???

Fuck that, it's a scamp. They gave my page to Lee Harvey Oswald

nah just publish a really racist book or something."Flick Flickerson, author of the controversial title Every Slur I Know..."

Not the kind of shit you should say because, just like their names shouldn't be reported, you don't want to inspire people to kill others to become known.

Really you need to kill several someone's, preferably at once if you'd like your own page in short order.

Trying to be memorable is a narcissist trait I wish would go away. After the planet cleanses itself of humanity because America elected their chief narcissist, there will be nobody around to read Wikipedia.

You could also just jump the fence to a high security building and nobody gets hurt, unless there's barbed wire of course
