The Wikipedia Studio is an independent editorial service and is not affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.
Audience Guide
Company articles fail when coverage is routine business reporting or PR. We screen for significant, independent coverage before recommending a corporate draft.
Guideline Focus
Primary reading: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies).
Funding announcements, directory listings, and republished press releases rarely meet organisational notability.
Coverage must not be controlled by the organisation or its marketers. We grade outlets before drafting.
We will not sell removal of well-sourced negative coverage. Encyclopedic articles summarise the record.

Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) ↗How We Approach It
We search for independent coverage and check it against the guideline that applies to you — before any fee is agreed.
You get a plain-language read on what the coverage supports, what is missing, and whether a draft is worth attempting.
If the sources are there, editors draft a neutral, fully cited article and submit it with paid-contribution disclosure.
Common Questions
How companies earn a Wikipedia article, and the problems that most often get one deleted.
Mid-Sized Company GuideSize is not the test — independent coverage is. A mid-sized company qualifies under WP:NCORP when several reliable, independent publications have written about it in depth: business-press profiles, investigative or analytical features, or substantial trade-journal coverage. The usual path is a source audit first, then a neutral, fully cited draft submitted through Articles for Creation with a paid-editing disclosure. If the audit finds only funding news, press releases, and directory listings, the honest answer is to wait until real coverage exists.
Most deletions come from the same five problems: notability was assumed rather than shown with independent sources; the tone reads like marketing copy; citations are press releases, sponsored posts, or routine announcements; the page was created or edited by undisclosed company insiders or paid editors; and the article drifted into a product or executive brochure over time. Mid-sized companies are especially exposed because their coverage is often local or routine.
No. Wikipedia does not set a revenue, employee, or funding threshold. A large private company with no in-depth coverage can fail, while a smaller firm profiled by several independent outlets can pass. Funding rounds and acquisitions count only when journalists analyse them rather than repeat the announcement.
Yes, but only once the reason for deletion is fixed — usually by new independent coverage. Recreating a substantially identical page after a deletion discussion can be speedily deleted again, so the safer route is a fresh draft through Articles for Creation that addresses the points raised in the original discussion.
