No idea how to create a page
My wife has a business called The Wild Welsh Soap Company Ltd, there are other companies in the same business category such as Lush and the Body Shop. It seems only fair for there to be a page describing The Wild Welsh Soap Company Ltd also.

I tried creating one, but really don't understand why it was declined.

I think there must be a dark art to contributing. Garethpn (talk) 22:13, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * There are multiple points to consider:
 * Wikipedia articles cover notable topics — those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia. We consider evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention. The notability criteria have been refined for companies and organizations at Notability (organizations and companies).
 * A company is not entitled to have an article just because it exists; Wikipedia is not a business directory. To be considered worthy of inclusion, a company must have already received significant coverage from multiple reliable third-party sources with no connection to, or influence from, the company under discussion. Brief mentions or routine coverage are insufficient to merit an article. Sources affiliated with the company also cannot establish notability.
 * Writing about your own company, or a company that you represent on behalf of others, is an inherent conflict of interest (COI). While COI editing is not prohibited outright, it is highly discouraged for several reasons. You will find it difficult to be an objective judge of the company's notability, write from the required neutral point of view, and rely solely on third-sources for your content with no unpublished personal knowledge. As well, if you are being compensated for writing about a company, in exchange for money or other inducements, then you must disclose this information in accordance with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy.
 * Writing with any intent to promote, advertise or publicize a non-notable company is explicitly against Wikipedia policy and its terms of use. You do not have to be selling any goods or services; merely attempting to use Wikipedia as a means to announce a non-notable company's existence to the world is considered promotion.
 * In short, please do not write about any topic where you have a vested personal or professional interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 07:24, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
