I find it leaves out the truism that if people that own or work for
the company have to create the article themselves, it's very unlikely
to be truly notable. (Irrespective of whatever the policy says today).
There's a lot to be said for organic growth and shamefacedly poking
you or your company in the wikipedia is in no way organic.
Wikipedia has thousands of articles about towns written by people who live
in them, languages by people who speak them and academic fields by people
who work in them. I don't see any bright line between that, and writing
about a company you work for, in terms of notability. Many articles in
Wikipedia are written by people with first-hand experience in the subject
in question. I think if you want a definition of notability, you have to
look elsewhere.
