Wikipedia Page Creation
Notability-First Wikipedia Page Creation. No Guarantees, No Shortcuts.
Wikipedia decides who gets an article, not an agency. This service starts with an honest notability assessment, builds the genuine independent press coverage that assessment requires, and guides eligible subjects through Wikipedia's own Articles for Creation review — with any paid contribution disclosed exactly as Wikipedia's policy requires. If a subject isn't ready yet, you get a roadmap, not a rejected page.
No guaranteed publication: only Wikipedia's volunteer editors decide notability. Any paid contribution made on your behalf is disclosed on-wiki, exactly as Wikipedia's Terms of Use require — undisclosed paid editing is a policy violation and is never part of this process.
The Process
Five Steps, In This Order.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Eligibility Review | Existing independent coverage is mapped against Wikipedia's notability guidelines before anything else happens. If the bar isn't met yet, you get told that directly. |
| 2. Source Collection & Validation | Real, independent secondary sources — journalism, industry publications, verifiable records — are gathered and checked against Wikipedia's reliability standards. |
| 3. Neutral Drafting | The article is written in Wikipedia's neutral point of view, cited to the validated sources — not promotional copy repurposed from a website. |
| 4. Disclosed Submission via AfC | Submitted through Wikipedia's own Articles for Creation review queue, with any paid involvement disclosed on-wiki. Reviewer decisions typically take 15-30 days. |
| 5. Post-Publication Monitoring | 30 days of monitoring after publication for edits, tagging, or deletion discussions — Wikipedia pages are never permanently "done." |
Why Submissions Fail
The Reasons Wikipedia Drafts Actually Get Declined.
Most declined drafts fail for one of a small number of predictable reasons — all catchable before submission, not after.
| Reason | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
| Insufficient notability | Coverage exists but is local-only, routine business-listing coverage, or a single feature — Wikipedia generally expects multiple, substantial, independent pieces over time, not one write-up. |
| Sources aren't actually independent | Press releases, sponsored or "contributed" articles, interviews where the subject is the only voice, and byline-for-hire placements don't count — even when they run on a recognizable publication's domain. |
| Promotional tone | Language like "leading," "innovative," or "award-winning" without a cited, verifiable source for the claim reads as advertising to reviewers, not neutral encyclopedic writing. |
| Undisclosed conflict of interest | A draft submitted by an undisclosed paid editor, or by the subject themselves without disclosure, is treated as a policy violation independent of whether the content itself is otherwise fine. |
| Notability that hasn't aged yet | A recent funding round or product launch alone rarely clears the bar — reviewers weigh sustained, independent attention over time more heavily than a single news cycle. |
Sourcing Standards
What Actually Counts as a Reliable, Independent Source.
This is the single most misunderstood part of the process — and the reason a source review happens before any drafting starts.
Generally Counts
- ✔ Staff-written features in established national or trade publications
- ✔ Investigative or analytical journalism that discusses the subject in depth
- ✔ Academic papers, industry reports, or books that cover the subject substantively
- ✔ Award citations from independently governed, notable award bodies
Generally Doesn't Count
- ✘ Press releases and wire-service reprints, even on major domains
- ✘ Sponsored, "contributed," or paid-placement articles
- ✘ Interviews or Q&As where the subject is the primary source of every claim
- ✘ Company blogs, LinkedIn posts, crowdfunding pages, and self-published bios
Who This Is For
For Founders, Executives, and Organizations With Real Coverage to Show For It.
This works for founders, executives, NGOs, and public figures who already have — or are close to having — genuine independent press coverage: real interviews, features, and industry recognition, not sponsored placements.
It is not a fit for anyone looking for a fabricated notability shortcut. If that's the ask, the honest answer is that Wikipedia isn't the right channel yet — and this service will say so rather than take the engagement anyway.
What's Included
- ✔ Free notability eligibility review before any commitment
- ✔ Independent source collection and validation
- ✔ Neutral-point-of-view drafting
- ✔ Disclosed submission through Wikipedia's Articles for Creation
- ✔ 30-day post-publication monitoring
- ✔ A written notability roadmap if the subject isn't eligible yet
Common Questions
FAQ.
No. Only Wikipedia's volunteer editors decide whether a subject is notable enough for an article, and no agency can override that. Work only proceeds once an honest eligibility review shows a realistic case for notability — if it doesn't, you get that answer and a roadmap for building toward it instead of a guaranteed listing.
Notability means significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources — real journalism and industry publications that covered the subject without being paid to, not press releases or sponsored placements. The assessment maps existing coverage against this bar before any drafting starts.
Yes. Wikipedia's Terms of Use require paid contributors to disclose who is paying them, directly on the editor's user page and in edit summaries. Any work done here follows that disclosure requirement — undisclosed paid editing is a policy violation, not a shortcut worth taking.
Eligibility review against notability guidelines, collection and validation of independent sources, drafting with neutral point of view, submission through Wikipedia's own Articles for Creation review queue, and monitoring after publication — typically 15-30 days for a reviewer decision once submitted.
You get a clear roadmap for building the independent press coverage Wikipedia actually requires — real interviews, features, and industry recognition — rather than being pushed into a submission likely to be declined or deleted.
Pricing depends on how much independent source-building is needed before a draft is even viable — a subject with strong existing press coverage costs less to bring to submission than one that needs coverage built first. See the full pricing breakdown, or start with the free eligibility review to get a scoped number.
If existing coverage already clears the notability bar, source validation and drafting typically take 2-4 weeks, plus a 15-30 day AfC reviewer queue. If coverage needs to be built first, the timeline extends to however long it realistically takes to earn genuine independent press — there's no way to compress that part honestly.
Sometimes — it depends on why the original was deleted. If notability genuinely wasn't established, a revival attempt fails the same way unless real new coverage has emerged since. If it was deleted for tone, sourcing quality, or an undisclosed conflict of interest rather than a fundamental notability problem, a properly rebuilt draft has a real chance.
