Wikipedia notability is an editorial threshold for an encyclopedia article, not a measure of business quality or a service someone can purchase. Assess the published evidence first, especially substantial coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.
01
Build a source inventory before a draft
Collect articles, books and other relevant publications that discuss the subject in meaningful depth. Record the author, publisher, date, editorial context and connection to the subject. Distinguish an independent reported profile from a press release, paid placement or brief directory entry. Several websites repeating the same announcement do not necessarily represent several independent sources of significant coverage.
02
Evaluate the actual subject and applicable guidance
Coverage about a parent company, famous client or industry does not automatically establish notability for a particular subsidiary or person. Read the general guideline and any relevant subject-specific guidance in the intended language edition. For example, a founder's awards and company launch announcements may be useful biographical facts but insufficient evidence for a standalone article about the founder.
- Identify passages that discuss the subject directly rather than merely naming it.
- Flag sponsorship, syndication, interviews and material controlled by the subject.
- Record limitations honestly instead of treating a source count as approval.
03
Choose an appropriate next step
If evidence is weak, maintain an accurate company website and pursue genuine business work rather than manufacturing coverage for Wikipedia. If it is stronger, follow conflict-of-interest and paid-disclosure requirements and the relevant review process. English Wikipedia currently restricts AI-generated article text. No agency can guarantee article acceptance, retention or favorable coverage, and an assessment should explain those limitations before any commitment.
Frequently asked questions
Is a certain number of links enough?
No universal link count settles the question. Depth, independence, reliability and applicable topic guidance matter more than a large list of superficial references.
Does a Wikipedia page in one language guarantee another?
No. Each language community has its own processes and evaluates the available sources. An existing article can inform research without automatically establishing eligibility elsewhere.
