Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Wizard-Company notability

Very few companies and corporations are suitable for inclusion into Wikipedia. There are millions of companies in the world but less than one-tenth of one percent of these companies are notable enough to be considered for inclusion into Wikipedia.

In order to be included in Wikipedia, the company must be:

• the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself, OR
• listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications, OR
• used to calculate stock market indices. Being used to calculate an index that simply comprises the entire market is excluded.

If you are writing about a product or service of a company, that product or service must:

• have been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company offering the product or service, OR
• be so well-known that its trademark has suffered from genericization.

A note on advertisting: Many Wikipedians are wholly averse to the use of Wikipedia for advertising. In addition, using Wikipedia for advertising has been against official policy for a very long time. To this end, should your article submission read like an advertisement or does not meet the notability outlined above, it will most likely be rejected and not created.
