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.
Person 1: Hey, listen to this band, it's great.
Person 2: Are you kidding me? It's not Wikipedia-worthy; I just checked.
Person 1: Come on, man, give it a try. No one knows who they are, but they're so awesome.

Wikipedia Hell is neither mere idea nor unknown reality, though it is as close to both as a benevolent razor to a neck. It exists as much as Facebook or your email address, less than poplar trees, Autumn, red wheelbarrows, and raindrops, and more than the color red or Communism. While it is supposed that Jesus can visit the page, as easily as any, visitors cannot find Jesus' Wikipedia page from here. Theoretically Jesus would also be unable to visit his own page.

Someone who is smart and knows generally about anything, but ends up giving either false or too much information.
Example A
Me: Bob, do you know about the Boston Red Sox?
Bob: The Boston Red Sox is an American professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1901. Their uniform consists of a standard baseball cap and shirt, and specifically red socks, hence the name of the team "Boston Red Sox". The Boston Red Sox is currently a member in the Major League Baseball's American League Eastern Division.
Me: K den.
Example B
Me: What's inside a hot pocket anyways?
Bob: Peanut butter, jelly, and two slices of bread.
Me: That's why it tastes like meat, thanks Human Wikipedia!

Ethan, the researcher, was too afraid of researching what a punky brewster is. He pulled a Wikipedia style.
