This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page in a nutshell: If the only thing to write in the article is the company's financial history, a chronology of managers and products, or a pile of lists in which it's listed, it's probably not notable. |
Wikipedia is not Crunchbase. Getting an article in Wikipedia for yourself or your company isn't necessarily a good thing. Writing one about your employer or your friend probably isn't doing them a favor. Most likely, sooner or later, it's going to be deleted. We've already established that there are certain criteria that have to be met for a company or a person to warrant an encyclopedia article, and a general desire to be famous doesn't satisfy it at all.
