Get the 'Wikipedia rabbit hole'mug. Something that has enough importance to actually be on Wikipedia, in contrast to what you can find no trace of on there. Hence, "worthy of Wikipedia," or Wikipedia-worthy. Since users from across the world can edit or add to Wikipedia, the lack of information on a specific topic marks its sheer unimportance or obscurity.
