Not everyone can get a Wikipedia page. Wikipedia has its own rules and not every person or business meets them. So before you spend time writing and submitting, it is smart to check if you actually qualify.

The biggest thing Wikipedia looks at is notability. This means you need to have been covered by reliable sources like news websites, magazines, or well known publications. Wikipedia wants to see that other people have already written about you, not just your own website or social media.

If you are thinking about a Wikipedia Page for Yourself, ask these basic questions first. Have you been mentioned in news articles? Do you have a track record in your field that others have publicly recognised? Have you achieved something that people outside your circle actually know about?
