Hi there.

To avoid the confusions, I thought that it might be useful for me to give you the applicable links here. Please read them, and then if you have any other questions, please ask.

The most important thing to realise is that it is very difficult indeed to create an article about something that you are linked with, and therefore it is strongly discouraged. There is, however, a possible alternative route - you can try to make a neutral, well-balanced, well-referenced article in your own user space - not in the live area - and then request that it is reviewed and, if accepted, it is created.

The best overall document to read about this is the business FAQ.

If you then wish to create an article in user-space, please read through my introduction below, which shows you how to 'play in your own area' - ie how to use a userspace page.

The vital thing in any article is the references - to satisfy notability requirements, an article needs significant coverage (not just a passing mention) in reliable sources - and these must be independent of the subject. In other words, there must be newspaper/magazine/books about the subject, and they should be reputable sources of info, not blog sites, and nothing connected with the subject.

All the facts in an article should be verifiable - the reader should be able to check the sources for themself (somehow - they don't have to be online; any reliable source that has been published somewhere is fine, as long as sufficient details are provided).

I hope that this helps; as I said, please read through those links, try the 'welcome' stuff below, and - as always - ask questions whenever you need to.

Cheers,
