Notability before drafting fees
An honest desk screens independent sources first and will tell you when coverage is missing. Paying for prose without a source map is how pages get declined.

Buyer guide
This niche attracts operators who sell guarantees and hide paid editing. Use this checklist to evaluate any desk — including ours — before you pay for a draft.
Checklist
If a vendor cannot answer these plainly, walk away.
An honest desk screens independent sources first and will tell you when coverage is missing. Paying for prose without a source map is how pages get declined.
Wikimedia Terms of Use require disclosure of paid editing. Agencies that hide client relationships create deletion risk for you and ban risk for editors.
Volunteer reviewers decide. Guarantees and “100% approval” claims are marketing — not how English Wikipedia works.
Ask what is not included: PR placement, removing criticism, locking pages, or inventing coverage. Transparent desks publish those limits.
You should know how research, drafting, and review are separated — and how conflicts of interest are handled on-wiki.
Monitoring and talk-page engagement matter after publication. Nobody can “lock” a page against community edits.
Market context
DIY is free but slow and easy to mishandle. Freelancers often sit around $500–$2,000 with uneven disclosure. Agencies commonly charge $2,500–$10,000+. Our published tiers run $700 to $2,500+ after a free notability assessment — we decline when sources are not there.
Our stance
Guaranteed acceptance, undisclosed editing, paid positive coverage, or removal of well-sourced criticism. See the full exclusions on the pricing page and our about page.
FAQ
Price alone is a weak signal. Ask what happens if sources are thin, whether paid editing is disclosed, and whether approval is “guaranteed” — guarantees usually mean policy risk.
Red flags include guaranteed publication, undisclosed paid editing, fake reviewer accounts, refusal to show sample sourcing standards, and pressure to pay before a notability screen.
Clear pricing bands, what is not included, disclosure practices, and a willingness to decline weak subjects. Our packages start at $700 after a free assessment.
