'''Notability'''

Very few companies and corporations are suitable for inclusion into Wikipedia.  There are millions of companies in the world but less than one-tenth of one percent of these companies are [[WP:N|notable]] enough to be considered for inclusion into Wikipedia.

In order to be included in Wikipedia, the company '''must''' be:
* the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself, '''OR'''
* listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications, '''OR'''
* used to calculate stock market indices. Being used to calculate an index that simply comprises the entire market is excluded.

If you are writing about a product or service of a company, that product or service '''must''':
* have been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company offering the product or service, '''OR'''
* be so well-known that its trademark has suffered from [[Genericized trademark|genericization]].


'''Conflict of interest/advertising'''

If you are closely associated with the company you want to write about, you have a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] and will find it very difficult to write a good, [[WP:NPOV|neutral]] encyclopedia article. You will probably find it very difficult to write an article which will not look like advertising to other editors - and using Wikipedia for advertising has been against official policy for a very long time. To this end, if your article submission reads like an advertisement or does not meet the notability guidelines outlined above, it will most likely be [[WP:CSD|deleted very quickly]]. The best advice here may be to ''do nothing'': if your company is notable, someone else will write about it sooner or later. In the mean time, you could look for another topic to write about from the list at [[Wikipedia:Requested articles]].
