[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Okuhle Digital", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

- Hi Mark, you are correct my username is the of an organisation.
- Okuhle Digital is my company and I want to create a small WIKI page for it, something similar to the Afrihost page. Okuhle Digital (talk) 19:06, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the acknowledgement. A few points to note:
- First, you'll need to request a change of username to avoid getting blocked. Username should represent you as an individual, and sharing an account among multiple users (role account) is not allowed. You'll find detailed guidelines at WP:U.
- Clearly you have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that page.
- In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
- Wikipedia has no interest in what a company has to say about itself. The subject of your article should pass notability with significant, in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources. The article should be summarized in your own words in a neutral tone based on what the sources have to say. Regarding something similar to the Afrihost page, please see WP:OTHERSTUFF.
- Even if your article gets created, you will not have ownership or control over it. Any editor is free to update the article based on facts, including any negative coverage the subject of article might've gained in reliable sources. Sometimes having an article about yourself might not necessarily be a good thing.
- Thank you for the acknowledgement. A few points to note:
- Many new users have a misunderstanding of Wikipedia as a place to gain publicity or traction for their business. They jump in to create an article without going through Wikipedia's numerous guidelines, and get disheartened when the article gets deleted. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- Plain and simple conflict of interest guide

- I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE. MT TrainTalk 05:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

- Besides coverage, is the article written well? As in is it balance and does not sound like an advertisement?
- Also, is coverage/notability the only challenge?
