Hi! I have submitted the English page for the company Wincasa. However, I would need assistance in creating a table as shown in the German version of the wikipedia page for Wincasa on the right handside: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wincasa

Would someone be able to help me out? Unfortunately, I couldn't find any explanation on how to create such a table.

Many thanks in advance and kind regards, Deborah

 * Hi . The table you want is a template called an infobox. The one for companies is documented at Template:Infobox company. Even though a corresponding article exists on the German-language Wikipedia (where standards or their enforcement may be different), the draft will not be approved here because it cites a single source, the company website. To satisfy the corporate notability inclusion criteria, there must be in-depth coverage of the firm in multiple, reliable, secondary sources independent of the company. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:47, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi . To show you how it's done, I have added an infobox for you and added some references. I would suggest that you look for some more sources. To establish what Wikipedia calls notability, you need reliable sources independent of the company. Company sources, such as published certified company accounts may be permissible for some (other) information. Formatting references can be a bit intimidating at first, so feel free to ask for assistance. It would also be helpful if you could reword the text a bit to make it more neutral. The first sentence, for instance, presents an uncorroborated claim by the company, and the word "leading" can mean a lot of things.  --Boson (talk) 23:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Hi . People who come to Wikipedia with the goal of adding a specific article often make the mistake of believing their topic belongs in an encyclopedia, or that they are entitled to add an article about anything they want. Most businesses do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for inclusion, and should not be the subject of an article. You may find WP:BFAQ enlightening. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:52, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
