User talk:XSP6800

Am I able to post a page in Wikipedia explaining our company (who we are, high level functionality, etc.)?

Please let me know as soon as possbile, thanks. Melissa XSP6800 (talk) 19:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really - there's a number of reasons why not, key amongst which is that you would have an inherent conflict of interest. I would also question whether your company would meet the standards of notability to merit inclusion, and whether that notability could be established by verifiably reliable sources. The blue words in this reply link to the relevant policies, so click on them to read the reasons in more detail.
 * Feel free to ask any questions below, or leave me a message on my talk page if I can help further. GBT/C 19:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I checked on Wikipedia and found that one of our competitors, Interactive Data Corporation has a page on the site describing their service.
 * The name of our company is XSP (Xcitek Solutions Plus, LLC) we are looking in New York City. Our website is www.xsp.com Please contact me if you need further information our company and if there is any further information on our company that you would need so we would be able to post a page on the site.
 * Thank you very much. MelissaXSP6800 (talk) 20:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * To be honest, this is a question that crops up pretty often, and the fact that there's a page about one company isn't generally taken as a good reason why there should be a page about one of its competitors, or a similar company - in fact, it's so common a question that there's a shortcut called WP:OTHERSTUFF - short for "Other stuff exists". The usual advice is to leave it - if you try and introduce a page about your company you run the risk of it being non-notable, or just pure spam. If your company really is notable enough to merit inclusion in WIkipedia, then leave it - someone independent will write about it at some stage! GBT/C 20:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
