Adding documentation
Hi Ghamiltondunlap, To respond to the above question - it will help to refer to the Wikipedia core policies in the welcome box. Notability, in essence, means that the content must be 'published' by a reliable source. An example of such would be a newspaper article, or possibly a technical journal from a recognised publishing house, stating that the event has happened, ie the registration of the trademark. Wikipedia does not accept upload of a scanned document or similar posts as verification. Neutrality requires that editors should, in general, avoid editing articles to which they have a close personal connection and that all articles should be written from a neutral viewpoint.

Disambiguation pages such as XYZ are intended as a place to direct readers to the appropriate article for their query rather than a place for any encyclopaedic content; so the place for such content would be an article on the product or company in question if it exists. The guidance at WP:DISAMBIG clarifies this, and how a link to such an article can be added to the lists at disambiguation pages such as XYZ or Dunlap.

In order to avoid the disappointment of edits being reversed, if you do decide to make edits on a subject with which you have a connection it is worth bearing in mind all articles must avoid being an advertisement for any person or company and concentrate solely on independently published facts. Many Wikipedians watch new pages and article changes for promotion with a view to prompt reversal.

Hope this helps you. Baldy Bill ( sharpen the razor &#124; see my reflection ) 23:29, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
