User talk:MayflowerState

Username
Hi--

Welcome to Wikipedia! I wanted to check in with you about your username. Mayflower State could refer to the state of Massachusetts. Is your account one that represents the state, or that is shared by a number of individuals with ties to a state tourism board or something like that? Prof. Mc (talk) 18:14, 21 June 2016 (UTC)


 * A: The username "MayflowerState" is not related to any state organization or tourism board.  It's just a nod to history. MayflowerState (talk) 19:05, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Great! Thanks for the response! Prof. Mc (talk) 19:54, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Advice
I suggest you read WP:CORP about notability for companies, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove it. Places like PNWire are not independent as they only handle press releases, and own sites (either the company itself or financial backers, etc) are not independent either. Not every company qualifies for an article here. It's not size or profitability that count. It's fitting with our definition of notability. There's an article about a bus shelter on a Scottish island, for example, but no article about a big company whose products are on millions of tables every day. Why not the company? They make 'own brand' goods for big chain stores, and nothing they make has their own name on it. No-one outside their own business world (and the IRS) has heard of them. (The bus shelter achieved press coverage on the other side of the Atlantic, by the way.) Peridon (talk) 21:50, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
