This gets things mostly right.
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.
