How to create company page

I'm trying to figure out how to create a company page. We are an established real estate company in the Capital Region. As you can see from my citations it's a company that's been cited by reliable sources. Let me know what else I'm missing or how I might be able to improve my page.


 * The problem is, the tone of the article is blatantly promotional. Phrases like "Monticello not only works hard for their clients but is also committed to giving back to the community" are not appropriate for an encyclopedia. The article should be confined to objective descriptions of the company—and really, to maintain neutral point of view, should be written by somebody unaffiliated with the company.
 * A quick glance of the citations shows that other than the one about printing the signs, they don't go into in-depth coverage of the company. Simple directory-style coverage isn't enough.
 * Finally, your username is a violation of the username policy. Your username should represent you as a person, not a company. —C.Fred (talk) 17:55, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Ok, I understand. I'll modify the tone and make sure it reads in a neutral tone.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --MonticelloNYS (talk) 20:18, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm trying to establish a page for my company. I have only included objective data and links to established news outlets. I've provided citations, most notably from the Albany Times Union newspaper. Please let me know what other edits may be needed to edit the document. Thank you.
 * I am deleting your draft article because of its highly promotional tone, and the fact that you have a clear WP:COI. Wikipedia includes neutrally written encyclopedia articles, not marketing brochures masquerading as encyclopedia articles. Please read and study Your first article before trying again.

We're a successful company so there is alot of positive news to share. Can you point to any sentence that is not objective? -Alexander
 * The article has been deleted and you have a clear financial conflict of interest. You should not be trying to use Wikipedia to promote your business. Try LinkedIn or the myriad of other social media sites. This is an encyclopedia. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  07:16, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * One example of completely unacceptable promotional language is "Monticello was an early pioneer of the use of professional photos". That is demonstrably false and an insult to the actual pioneers of photography such as Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre in the 19th century, and ignores the fact that other real estate agents have been using professional photography for many decades. Feel free to put such marketing speak on your own website, but we will not allow that kind of language in this encyclopedia. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  07:25, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
