{{helpme}} Hello Wiki World! I'd like to post two biographies of living persons on Wikipedia; Co-founders of Stott Pilates, Moira and Lindsay G. Merrithew (see below). I must admit that I do work for the company at the Production Coordinator, however, I feel that both articles maintain a neutral point of view, contain plenty of sources while remaining private and confidential. I feel that these two articles would be great supplementary readings to the original company profile, which is also on Wikipedia. Could anyone provide any assistance as to how I could add these to the anthology of material online, or if this would be at all possible? Help is greatly appreciated.

Being part of the company would violate Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest Policy. Unfortunately, it is not really...appropriate for you to create these articles, however if you wish to see them created you can request it at Articles for Creation. Should your subjects meet Notability Requirements the articles should be created! If you'd like an example, I had to ask a friend of mine to intervene on some non-neutral information on the Blockbuster article, since I work for the company. Thanks!
