Nihiltres, are you serious? And are you aware that the article is not?

While having a Wikipedia page certainly accords one a level of prestige in that Wikipedia typically deletes entries on all but the most important individuals and organizations, word count is *a pointless measure*. An entry might be long because it is full of garbage, because it contains pointless trivia that will bore people away, or because it says the same things over again.

I recently commented on an article elsewhere which compared the word count of the article on "God" and the article on the fictional character "Knuckles the Echidna". While people love to groan at the fact that the Knuckles article is (much) longer, they completely miss the fact that the "God" article is both rated as being much higher-quality and rated as more important in the scheme of things.

Further, Wikipedia's neutral point of view means that longer articles will almost definitely cover any scandals or controversies relating to that individual, which can certainly be a detractor to the profile-boost you describe.

It's worth taking a more balanced look at what a Wikipedia article means; don't simplify it to nearly-useless indicators like word count.
