Wikipedia Article Verification & Notability Strategy
Having an official Wikipedia article provides the highest authority badge in Google's Knowledge Graph. However, over 80% of corporate Wikipedia drafts are deleted due to perceived promotional tone or lack of independent coverage. This use case outlines Mirashka's compliant editorial methodology.
1. General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG) Audit
Assess existing media coverage to ensure multiple independent, reliable, secondary journalistic sources with significant coverage exist before drafting.
2. Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV) Formulation
Draft encyclopedic text avoiding puffery, marketing jargon, and subjective claims, focusing strictly on verifiable company milestones, acquisitions, and executive leadership.
3. Transparent Conflict of Interest (WP:COI) Disclosure
Comply with Wikipedia terms of service by formally disclosing agency involvement on article talk pages, fostering positive collaboration with Wikipedia community administrators.
Mirashka Strategic Takeaways
- Neutral Tone is Mandatory: Write like an objective encyclopedia, not a corporate marketing press release.
- Independent Press Only: Rely exclusively on reputable journalistic publications; self-published blogs are discarded.
- Transparent Disclosure: Follow Wikimedia guidelines regarding paid contribution disclosure to prevent sudden deletions.
