It's not hard. A friend of mine nicknamed a very rare disease on Wikipedia. A few months to a year later a news organization used the Wikipedia page's nickname for the disease when writing an article for it. He then cited the use of that nickname on the Wikipedia page with the news article, and thus, the nickname had a validated citation, and will possibly never go away.
