Without expert-level editing, the vast majority of new pages — even about credible companies — get flagged, moved to Draft space, or deleted entirely within days of publication.
Reasons include:
Reasons include:
- Lack of reliable, third-party media coverage
- Promotional tone or subjective language
- Conflict of interest or biased point of view
- Use of PR-style writing
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a marketing platform. Sentences like "X is the leading provider of..." or "Y is a revolutionary startup" often lead to immediate deletion. Even subtle bias can trigger moderation.
- If you’re affiliated with the subject, you must disclose your conflict and cannot directly create or approve the article yourself — this adds another technical barrier.
Every edit on Wikipedia is logged and publicly visible. Articles submitted by accounts with minimal activity or no prior contributions face much higher scrutiny. Trusted editors with a long history of constructive edits, previously accepted articles, and policy-compliant behavior are significantly more likely to succeed during moderation.
We navigate this complex system on your behalf, ensuring your page complies with all relevant policies, utilizes verified sources, and minimizes deletion risks.
