Same goes for products: if the product of the company is notable, it deserves its own article. The company is only notable, if it is worth notice <i>regardless</i> all of that. </p><p>But what can warrant an article about the company then? In one word: <b>impact</b>. The organization can be considered notable only it has made considerable impact <i>at least</i> on the industry of its main topic. The word "<i>impact</i>" should be understood restrictively here: the effect on the industry should be beyond any reasonable doubt. Being the successful business with considerable amount of clients, having thousands of Google hits and other similar methods only prove the businesses' existence. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Common_ways_of_hiding_the_lack_of_notability">Common ways of hiding the lack of notability</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=User:Czarkoff/essays/Businesses_are_rarely_notable&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Common ways of hiding the lack of notability" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Awards,_investments_and_revenues"><span id="Awards.2C_investments_and_revenues"></span>Awards, investments and revenues</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=User:Czarkoff/essays/Businesses_are_rarely_notable&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Awards, investments and revenues" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>There are two by-products of companies' existence that are frequently mistaken for indications of businesses' notability: the awards, investments and revenues. </p><p>The awards generally are the mean of promotion: the active public relations team can easily "win" a fair amount of minor awards even for a completely inactive company. In Wikipedia articles the "Awards" section serves the very important purpose: it spots the promotional articles and topics with no indications of notability with records-breaking low amount of false positives. Specifically the worst cases are the TOP <i>N</i> lists: unless the very fact of being listed makes every such company notable (which is rarely the case), this achievement doesn't say anything about the company's notability. </p><p>Same goes for the articles about investments into companies: such reports are routinely used by editors who want to mask the lack of significant coverage of the article's subject in reliable sources. Indeed, the fact that someone put his money into a company may indicate a good business plan, commercial success or even possibility of <i>future</i> notability, but never it has anything to do with the notability of company here and now. The fact that the business is active doesn't make it notable. </p><p>The revenues are the yet less viable way to claim notability. The high revenue indicates that the business is (or pretends to be) successful. Still the commercial success doesn't contribute much to the company's notability, as it doesn't demonstrate the company's impact on the industry on its own. Successful or not, if the company indeed influenced the industry, the impact would be reported separately from the company's financial report. </p><p>The articles relying on such implications of notability should be speedy deleted per either "<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#G11" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion.</a>" or "<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#A7" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">A7.
