How does Creating a Page for a Business work?
How do I create a page for a small business that conforms to the wiki guidelines ?

Also, can I create a personal wiki page linked/related to the small business?

 * Welcome . First, your business must meet the requirements for notability. In short, your business must receive coverage from independent reliable sources (see also the guidelines on reliable sources).
 * Then, the article must meet the requirement for neutrality, and not be promotional. You also should declare your conflict of interest if you own the business, or are being paid for your contributions. Please read "Your first article", it explains many of the basics.

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Andrew Costa. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

User page content
I have deleted the short sentence on your user page as it is still promotional. I appreciate that you are trying to work within Wikipedia guidelines - so how about the following (or something similar ) on your user page. "'I run an accountancy company in Rhode Island mostly targeted at small businesses and start- ups. I have a conflict on interest in all matters relating to Skyline Accountancy Services which I believe deserves a Wikipedia page and I would be happy to work with other editors who may interested in writing the article.'" Hope that this helps. Regards  Velella  Velella Talk 14:14, 16 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I should also have said that the chances of an article about a small accountancy firm in New England surviving on Wikipedia is very small. It almost never happens unless the company has been involved in a national scandal or has notably handled the financial affairs of some great and notable person and that fact has been commented upon in national media. Sorry if that dashes your hopes now, but rather that than falsely getting your hopes up and then seeing them dashed later. Regards  Velella  Velella Talk 14:28, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
