The last time I added the information on SimiGon, I followed one of its major partner's Wikipedia site at Lockheed Martin. I added news sources and cites from public documentation. It was taken down as spam. Therefore, I added this very bland version and encouraged other people to do the same research I did, on the London Stock Exchange and several business-watch sites, including Panmure Gordon's equity research. Is there another approach I could take in adding the company's information? Itsmeshel 14:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

An article on a notable company would need neither flowery advertising terms nor utter blandness. You might like to read WP:CORP, our guidelines on what makes a company notable, plus WP:RS, our guidelines on what makes a reliable source. The article has now been deleted, but further information about this can be found on the former article's talk page.   REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ  18:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I followed that guideline, and just because a company is not large, it should not be subject to "arbitrary bias." Explanations of the company's products, written by equity analysis, is not "flowery" nor "bland." As excepted from the information you sent:

The following is a tool to help determine whether an organization (commercial or otherwise) is a valid subject for a Wikipedia article. The scope of this proposal covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose.

Simply stated, an organization is a group of more than one person formed together for a purpose. This includes commercial and non-commercial activities including, but not limited to, charitable organizations, educational institutions, institutions, interest groups, organizations, social clubs, companies, partnerships, proprietorships, religious denominations, sects, etc.

This guideline does not cover small groups of closely related people such as families, entertainment groups, co-authors, and co-inventors covered by WP:Notability (people).

"Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice". It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance". Please consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education. Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information from reliable sources that provide evidence of notability; however, smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations."
