::Hey ,like any encyclopedia, Wikipedia includes biographies of important historical figures and people involved in current events.  Even though wiki is not paper, there are some criteria which may be considered for inclusion. 

 This guideline is not Wikipedia policy (and indeed the whole concept of notability is contentious).  However, it is the opinion of many, but not all, Wikipedians that these criteria are a fair test of whether a person or related group of people has sufficient external notice to ensure that they can be covered from a neutral point of view based on verifiable information from reliable sources, without straying into original research (all of which are formal policies).  

 This guideline covers small groups of closely related people such as families, entertainment groups, co-authors, and co-inventors. It does not cover groups of unrelated people which are covered by the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) guideline. 

 Please see criteria for speedy deletion for policy on speedy deletion.  The fact that an article doesn't meet guidelines on this page, does not necessarily mean it qualifies for speedy deletion, as a mere claim of notability (even if contested) may avoid deletion under criterion A7 (Unremarkable people or groups).  However, an AfD nomination may result in deletion, on consensus, after a 5 day debate. 

 In general, an article's text should include enough information to explain why the person is notable, and such information should be verifiable.  Biographies of living persons are subject to additional rules and restrictions. 

 Regarding your specific questions, yes there are editors that are more than happy to participate.  However, the majority of work in starting out the article should be yours.  I’m than happy to give you a hand when I have the time.  Good luck.
