 One, in English, was created by a user named "John Doe," but he's garnered just 300 signatures since it went live two days ago
  "Keanu is the most wholesome person alive," Doe wrote in the description of  his petition, encouraging Time to "make him the person of the year!"  Another  petition in Spanish, created by user Richard Salazar, similarly praises Reeves
 Translated, the description of the petition says in part that Reeves "has proven to be a person who positively influences everyone" and that his "modesty, simplicity, character, and human quality make him the most ideal person to be named person of the year
"  Salazar's petition goes on to say that "the world needs more people like [Reeves]," and calls him a "great example
 in all senses of the word." The Spanish petition had over 500 signatures at the time of this article

 Read more: According to Time's  website, the person of the year designation is the result of editors who have "selected[ed] the individual or group with the most profound impact on our world over the past year for better or for worse
"  The chosen individual, group, or entity is usually announced by the magazine in December of each year
 Past issues have named people like Barack Obama, Pope Francis, Jamal Khashoggi, and Angela Merkel as people of the year
  Hollywood celebrities are not typically named person of the year by themselves, although significant achievements by a celebrity are occasionally highlighted — such as when actress Ashley Judd was named person of the year in 2017, along with other #MeToo activists
  A representative for Time declined to comment on the requests to name Reeves its person of the year
