A Wikipedia page creation scam follows a pattern Wikipedia itself documents. A stranger finds your declined submission, promises approval or protection for a fee, and keeps the talk off Wikipedia. Real paid editors disclose who pays them, name their account and cannot guarantee an outcome.
What Wikipedia notability guidelines actually require for companies, the most common reasons pages get deleted, and why shortcuts such as undisclosed paid editing or fake sourcing tend to backfire.
Marketing assets are useful for dates and spellings. They are useless for proving the world noticed you independently.
Fame is the wrong metric. Coverage is the right one. Use this checklist before you spend on a draft.
Publication is when strangers can edit your article. Monitoring is how you notice before a wrong fact travels.

Not every link with a logo is a usable source. This is the sorting method we use before a single sentence gets drafted.
Deletion is rarely mysterious. Most failed pages share the same handful of problems — and they are visible before the first draft is filed.
Paid editing is allowed when it is disclosed. Undisclosed advocacy is what burns accounts, agencies, and sometimes the client’s reputation too.
