Various company pages on Wikipedia

Hoping someone can help explain to me how companies/corporations happen to add a page on Wikipedia advertising themselves? I'm just curious as I thought this was not allowed.

Hope I did this right. Learning!

Hi Danhash - I am trying to learn how we can go about having a page created on our company Bullion Management Group Inc. as we have a lot to offer the Wiki community as far as educating them on the importance of precious metals bullion. I notice a lot of companies on Wiki and every time I have tried to post, it gets rejected. I understand about it not being biased, etc.Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. MoGaudet
 * Do read WP:COI. If you still go ahead, then always use WP:AfC to start the article, then you can get a proper review before the page goes live. Ron h jones (Talk) 17:31, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Ronhjones - I have actually done that 7 times so I guess they do feel that COI is the reason. I certainly understand how and why. Having said that, I also tried requesting a contributor and no one got back to me. Any suggestions? Again, thank you and appreciate any help.
 * Hello MoGaudet. The first thing to do is declare your affiliation on your userpage. Then the article you write needs to meet the criteria for notability. Basically, your business has to have a significant presence, which usually means that 3rd-party, reliable sources have reported on it in a way that's not promotional (it also goes without saying that the article itself must be written in a neutral way, that's not promotional). Like Ronhjones said, it's strongly recommended to request the creation of such article (or when editing) to avoid bias or promotion. If you find any articles that are promotional, please tag them as such, or even nominate them for deletion if they meet the criteria. —Hexafluoride if you need help, or post on my talk 18:21, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
