How does it work?
1. Test notability honestly first
Your company needs significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources; press releases, sponsored articles and routine announcements do not count.
2. Register and disclose your connection
Use a registered account; paid editors must name employer and client: {{paid}} on the user page and {{Connected contributor (paid)}} on the article talk page.
3. Draft through Articles for Creation
Don't create the article directly; write a draft with independent sources and click 'Submit the draft for review!' so a volunteer reviews it.
4. Request fixes on the talk page
For an existing article, don't edit it; add {{Edit COI}} on its talk page, write 'change X to Y', and cite reliable independent sources.
5. Wait for reviewers, don't push
Watch the draft or talk page for answers, which can take days to months; if declined, build more independent coverage instead of resubmitting.
