Talk:Worldwide brands

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Le Deluge

I would appreciate some help with this or actually just someone more capable of taking this over. I did have this page up before, but it was taken down because it was tagged as being too promotional. I don't want it to be promotional, I want it to be educational. I have made a big overhaul of this page, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the notices removed by working on additional citing sources and etc, but obviously I'm just "not getting it". Who would have thought that creating a wiki page was this hard -especially for the newbie (me) doing it. I also have a Chris Malta page that isn't good. I tried linking the Worldwide Brands and Chris Malta page together, but I get a message that neither of those exist.

Ultimately it comes down to coverage in reliable third party publications - if there's an article about the company in the NY Times then that's the kind of thing that's ideal, relying too much for sourcing on random websites or the company's own website will be less successful. If you're finding it difficult to do that, then that suggests that the subject of the article is at best marginally notable - you'd have no problems being "educational" about IBM or Microsoft within the rules. And be aware that Wiki has pretty strict rules on WP:Conflicts of interest - you may want to read that before continuing.Le Deluge (talk) 12:27, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
