The non-profit organization where I now work has been covered in a number of secondary sources, and I and others here feel it's become notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. I mentioned to the person spearheading the drive for a Wiki article that I have experience with the site---over 12 years and nearly 13k edits here. But after reading the COI policy more and more, I'm having more and more qualms about even answering simple questions about this site. I want to help, but at the same time value my integrity and don't want to threaten my... good name I guess?... on Wikipedia. Feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on this issue...

- Not to worry. It seems to be well accepted that COI editors are allowed to create drafts via the Articles for Creation process. As an experienced editor, you wouldn't normally have to go through AfC, but it's the option available when there's a COI to worry about.
- My suggestion is to take your secondary sources to the Articles for Creation help desk and get agreement that notability has been met. Write your draft, in the most neutral way you can, using only information from those sources, then put it up for review. If you already have the agreement on notability of the subject, and you're good about maintaining NPOV in what you write, your draft should breeze through. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:46, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
