Hi, Asia-Pacific Space Designers Association (APSDA) is the individual name of the association, there are no other recognized name for APSDA. This would be the same as per “International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (IFI)” name on Wikipedia. Kindly advise if we were to want to create a page like IFI, would the full name of APSDA be alright, If not, kindly advise what would be an appropriate name for it.

You have confused creating an account with creating an article. This page is your user talk page, for communication with you, the operator of this account. Your username needs to reflect that you are the operator of this account, though your real name is not required. Something like "JohnDoe of APSDA" would be acceptable.

New accounts cannot directly create articles, and must use the article wizard to create and submit a draft for review. But please understand that Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves and what they do. Any article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization says about itself, only in what others unconnected with the organization choose to say about it and what makes it important/significant/influential.

Please see conflict of interest and paid editing(which includes employment) for information on required disclosures(once you are renamed). 331dot (talk) 07:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
