Criteria for company article

What is the criteria for inclusion when it comes to creating articles about companies? Does it come down to how many locations of said company exists? Is a criteria agreed upon?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)

On the above link it states “Arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organisations or their products, though articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable per WP:NOTADVERTISING.

Let’s use an example: A relatively new Hotel chain is surging in locations. Does the increase in real estate make said hotel notable? How significant should the new openings be? Should the hotel (or other type of company) be established enough to warrant a Wikipedia article?

Help with gaming company article.

Hi there. I’ve posted a few suggested edits to improve the article about Playrix at Talk:Playrix#Playrix_Requested_Edits_June_2022, like updating the lead, history, and information about its response to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Since I have a conflict of interest, is someone in this project available to review the requests? Many thanks. Interstellar108 (talk) 16:19, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Looks like someone has reviewed and made comments on this already. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:50, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Bernard Looney request

Hi editors,

I'm Arturo and I work at bp. A few months ago, changes were made to bp CEO Bernard Looney's article that I do not believe are constructive or relevant to Mr. Looney. I have posted a similar note at WikiProject Biography but so far have not heard anything else about it.

My concerns are with the content added about bp's former dealings with Rosneft (diff here). I believe this content puts too much weight on Rosneft and Igor Sechin and is simply not relevant in an article about Mr. Looney.

Further, I believe the presentation of the information is not reflective of the source material and that is causing the article to take on a non-neutral tone. It is also missing some key information about what happened and bp's separation from Rosneft, namely that bp announced it will sell its stake in Rosneft and that Mr. Looney stepped down from the Rosneft board within days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A very minor change was made to correct an inaccuracy but much of the problematic text remains.

I have drafted alternative content that I think better offers a more complete and accurate overview of the situation in a more neutral tone, while remaining focused on Mr. Looney. I think it would be worthwhile to take another look at this content now that some time has passed and more details are available. I am seeking some additional feedback on the text I suggested. I won't make any changes myself because of my COI. Please let me know what you think. Arturo at BP (talk) 16:42, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

@Arturo at BP:, Unfortunately, the BLP noticeboard is the correct location for this type of request as this one deals with companies. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:49, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

WiTricity

Hello! I've submitted an edit request with a few suggested updates for the WiTricity article here. I've struggled to get editor feedback despite using Template:Request edit so I'm hoping a member of this project might be willing to take a look at the proposed updates. For what it's worth, I don't think reviewing will take long since the additions are single sentences. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:22, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

@Inkian Jason:, it appears there are 198 others in queue at the moment. I will take a quick look and address anything simple I can do. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for taking a look. Inkian Jason (talk) 13:56, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

LendingClub History request help

Hello! I'm here to ask if I can get some help with a pending edit request on the LendingClub Talk page. I'm an LC employee with a conflict of interest, so I have to submit any ideas I have for improving the page to independent editors for review.

On the LendingClub Talk page, I have put together a revised and updated version of the article's History section, which doesn't currently have much information on the past couple years of company activity. For ease of reference, here's a link to the full revised History draft, which I have posted on my user page.

I submitted this request back in early July, and have reached out to a couple other WikiProjects and editors with no luck. So I'm really hoping that someone at this WP can help me out. Any feedback would be deeply appreciated. Thanks! EFlynn at LendingClub (talk) 17:23, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

LegalShield COI edit requests

Hi! Posting here to share some edit requests posted by my colleague JZindler at Talk:LegalShield. These requests have been open for a little more than three months, so I'm sharing here in case anyone is willing to take a look. Even a response on just a few items would be helpful. Thanks for reading! Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

SBA Communications - Logo Incorrect

Hello,

I work for SBA Communications and we would like to request edits to our page, as we understand that we are not able to make these edits ourselves.

The logo featured on the page is the incorrect logo as it is distorted and does not feature our registered trademark. The correct logo is available on our SBA Communications website.

Thank you for your help. SBACB (talk) 16:12, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Request to update HubSpot

Hello! On behalf of HubSpot, I've submitted a request to update the Software and services section. I've proposed specific text additions based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources about some of the company's major products, similar to what's already said about HubSpot CRM Free. I've disclosed my conflict of interest and included Template:Request edit, but so far the request has gone unanswered. Might a member of WikiProject Companies be willing to take a look and update the article appropriately? Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 13:59, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Merge proposal at Talk:LendingClub#Merger_proposal

Hello! I'm popping back into this WikiProject to ask for input on a merge proposal to merge LendingClub Bank into LendingClub. LendingClub bank doesn't really exist as its own entity, LC offers banking services, but there's no arm of the company or subsidiary called "LendingClub Bank." It's all part of the same unified whole.

I'm a LendingClub employee with a COI, so I am leaving this to others to decide what should be done. Would anyone here mind weighing in on the merge discussion? I'd be very grateful for any help I can get with this. EFlynn at LendingClub (talk) 14:54, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
