I think you come the closest to an explanation of why people want their companies in Wikipedia when you talk about offering "some modicum of respectability". People want their companies in Wikipedia because it's relatively hard to get a company in Wikipedia.
Not so. Firstly a free link is always worth while. Secondly links from wikipedia will take traffic to your website. Reading SEO forums can be somewhat worrying.
Firstly, writing an article about your company and putting it into Wikipedia, then calling Brad and complaining about the fact that it was deleted, is by no means free. Secondly, links from Wikipedia only take traffic to your website if someone a) goes to that article, and b) follows the link.
Finally, why is this thread on foundation-l? This is a project/community issue, not a foundation one.
