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.
