They need to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria which you can read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28people%29
The main point is that they must have been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published independent works.

Really only famous enough to have a Wikipedia user want to write an article about them. Wikipedia doesn't automatically create a page someone becomes adequately famous, someone has to write it.

They don't need to be known around the world--it just takes one great article/book/painting/drawing/debut acting/song/invention, etc. to make them worthy.

critically acclaimed, publically acclaimed or having done something extremely remarkable.
NOT for being a slutty heiress or having a firecrotch.
