Once you are on Wikipedia, it gives you an air of credibility and tags you as someone “noteworthy”. But a personality or subject needs to have at least 5-7 major press mentions to be listed on Wikipedia. We first determine if you qualify for Wikipedia’s notability standards. Once you pass the parameters, our Wikipedia experts create content to meet the exacting standards and rules of Wikipedia content.
Grow your business and attract potential customers with well-crafted Wikipedia pages. Give your brand the high-visibility and credibility that it deserves; get yourself ranked along with the biggest names in the business world. We understand Wikipedia’s internal mechanisms and our team of Wiki experts guarantees you this “powerful backlink”.
Wikipedia writing is unlike other forms of writing and requires the involvement of skilled writers and adept editors to ensure that a Wikipedia article gets approved and published. Our Wikipedia Content Experts adhere to the numerous parameters and guidelines in the creation of Wikipedia pages. We have successfully navigated the page creation processes for several of our clients.
Creating a Wikipedia page on your own can be time-consuming. That's where we come in. We follow a simple, straightforward process that allows you to have your Wikipedia page up and running in a matter of days. Here's our process explained in a nutshell.
It starts with discussion. Here, we sit down with you to learn more about the topic (company or individual) and gather as much information and references as we can.
We begin writing the first draft based on the discussions and details and references gathered.
The draft is then sent to you for review, and changes are made based on your suggestions.
We create an account for you on Wikipedia and submit the finalized content.
Once the page is live*, we continuously monitor it for moderator feedback and make any necessary edits.
*Wikipedia is not a place for advertising, so we keep the content neutral. Also, "notability" is a factor in getting a page published on Wikipedia.
ENQUIRE NOWTo be eligible:
Prominent: Wikipedia lays a lot of weight on credentials, authenticity and authority or your circle of influence, also known as “notability”.
Verifiable: All the references and citations should be genuine.
Strong Presence: Notability only comes with wide media coverage. An extensive presence in local and international media is necessary.

Winning the best sales executive label in your company’s branch in Sheikh Zayed Road does not make you notable whereas being selected to win an award from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum makes you a notable person.
Thus either a global recognition or a national level recognition as mentioned above is a good indicator of notability. These are certainly considered as notable by Wikipedia. Another aspect to this implies the matter gets significant coverage across multiple media publications. Once the proof for this is available online, it can be used to prove that the individual/entity is notable.
Mentions in websites like GulfNews.com, KhaleejTimes.com, and TheNational.ae are considered reliable, whereas mention in websites like dubaicityguide.com or adwonline.ae is not considered good enough reason for considering the individual or commercial entity to be provided a Wikipedia page.
Reliable sources would include The Times of India, The New York Times, The Economic times & Fastcompany.com. In case no reliable third-party sources can be found on an individual or topic, then an independent Wikipedia page should not be provided according to Wikipedia.
Francis Kalarickal, Director of GMI, says,
“GMI contributes to Wikipedia “ethically and transparently” on behalf of individuals, corporate entities and NGO clients. Most often nearly 90% of cases when someone wants to create a new Wikipedia page, the person or company doesn’t meet Wikipedia’s requirements to qualify for a page”.
In such cases with proper inputs & guidelines from GMI, with 6 to 8 months time frame, a Wikipedia page can be created with sufficient groundwork.
The Wikipedia editors are extremely good at their job. Once they identify a weakness in the approach you edit and publish content, the editorial team is most likely to keep hounding your page, until it achieves perfection. Thus the DIY approach to Wikipedia page creation is usually a bad idea. DIY Wikipedia contributions can raise red flags in the Wikipedia editorial community.
Wikipedia page copy is meant to be objective, “just-the-facts” tone. When a Wikipedia page of a company/individual creates or contribute their own Wikipedia articles, their intention is to meet marketing goals, instead of making Wikipedia a more valuable resource of unbiased information. All copy with even the slightest hint of being promotional is a show stopper in the case of a Wikipedia page.
