A summary of some site guidelines and policies you may find useful

 * A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).

Your addition to List of rum producers was reverted because the company's own website does not meet the standard "independent of the subject" for establishing notability.
