You may know your company's materials are accurate, well-written, and fact-checked. From your perspective, the content may be accurate and important. From Wikipedia's perspective, it still reflects your point of view. The platform isn't only judging whether your version is correct; it's also looking for independent, journalistic coverage that shows the topic has attracted genuine public interest sufficient to report on and read about.
Independent sources like news articles, books, or academic publications carry more weight because they show how the broader world sees your company, not just how you present yourself. This outside validation is what Wikipedia relies on to determine what's worth including and how it should be framed. Without it, even accurate content may be excluded for failing to meet standards of neutrality and notability.
For more information, please consult our Policy Guide on independence of sources.
