Highlights:
- The Internet is replete with articles that say creating a Wikipedia page for your company as simple and easy - which it most certainly is not.
- Wikipedia has rules restricting you from creating your own Wikipedia page or paying someone to create one for you.
- Creating your own Wikipedia page or paying someone to do it (though common) can get your content deleted and your account banned.
- If a Wikipedia editor has not already written a page for you, it's probable you are not notable enough to have one.
- A good rule of thumb is that you should have at least 10 articles specifically about your company to be considered notable.

- Setting up a WikiData page may seem intimidating at first glance, but Wikimedia made it easier by creating an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to make one.
What is a WikiData page?
