Default Re: Please help me in Wikipedia Submission

Provided that the article is written as an objective overview of the company, and does not have any sales jargon or weasel words, the next consideration will be notability. Is your company large enough or important enough in the industry to warrant an article? What is it that makes your company different? Do you have the largest customer base in your industry, or have you revolutionized a product or service? Generally, small businesses will fail the notability test and tend to be deleted, while those that have had some impact on their industry will remain.

Given your clients track record with their submissions, just forget about it - you have lost the trust of wikipedia.

I agree with martty, an article about your client's company will most likely be rejected.

However, you could make an article about a topic related to your client's company and then include a link to your client's website. Do not link to your client's website though unless it contains more information.

For example, Joe's Pizza could add to the Wikipedia article about pizza and at the bottom of the article add a link to his website that contains more information about pizza.

Just make sure that the article is interesting and informative. Avoid also to insert links in the article because editor removed the links or the whole article.

Yes my company is famous and good track record in their field. I am sure it will pass the notability test. Coming to an article, I made article informative

Subhzash don't get me wrong, but I never heard about your company and I cannot track record in their field. Can you please explain where they got the information about you, that I could not retrieve yet? I do not have any doubts that the article is informative though. But still, I never read it, so I cannot tell more.

Thats true I never mentioned about my company because it may spoil company reputation if I mentioned here. It is very famous. If someone knows that we are struggling to publish an article they may have bad impression
