Help me - publishing a page
I would very much like to have a page published for our company. Are individual franchised offices not allowed to have recognition? I understand, and appreciate, that RE/MAX LLC has their own page. Can and individual franchise (RE/MAX Advantage Plus) also have their own page or will it be disallowed/disapproved from the start? What recommendations can you provide so that our page may be published?

 * Wikipedia determines which articles are suitable for inclusion or not based upon notability. WP:GNG is our core policy that relies on significant coverage from independent and reliable sources to determine whether an subject or topic should have its own article. For companies specifically, we have WP:CORP that outlines some guidelines. REMAX is a major company and receives a significant amount of in depth coverage. Franchises usually draw much less coverage and are often not included. I would like to remind you that we have policies that prohibit the use of Wikipedia for advertisements. This is an encyclopedia, not a business directory (WP:NOTDIR). We also have a policy regarding conflicts of interests whereby even if your franchise/company is notable, it is strongly discouraged that you edit or create the article.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 13:10, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
